great writeup, was a nice tournament and thanks to slasher and djwheat for covering it if not what would we have done???

i hope that's sarcasm :P

This corbie guy should join the esr crew and make news here :b

(SORRY JETSET)

Nevah! And the way it's done right now you get the best of both worlds as the items he does are featured on ESR anyway :D

I'd agree with everything except that Z4muz based his play on strong map control. It looked a bit shaky even in games he comfortably won.

shit article. All about euro whining about losing to American in tournaments. Look you have 10 pros to the 1 pro American and your 10 can't beat him. LOL. Get some skill your up.

AS far as im concerned dreamhack didn't happen. The #1 player wasn't there. What if Tiger Woods doesn't show up? No one cares.

The americans who played at DH lost in the 1st and 2nd round of single elim (although I think there should be some writeup about dkt and dahang's performances). Even if Rapha wasn't there, there has always been tournaments that doesn't have everyone but it certainly doesn't take away from the person who won. Noctis wasn't at DH either and he is considered a top contender. Cypher, Cooller, Stermy and av3k weren't at IEM at Gamescom (which Rapha won) but did that stop ppl from saying Rapha was the best that tournament? No. But the tournament still happened and i'm pretty sure Rapha counts it as a win. Noctis (who was #2 at the time) didn't go to QuakeCon either but i'm sure you care about that tournament since Rapha won.

nice try. But rapha has beaten all those guys. Imo no americans were at dreamhack. <-- those guys aren't pro. They are like on the level of madix or something.

You can write 10 paragraphs but you're just simply a fanboi maniac. I already made the point that was. Rapha wasn't there. #1. noctits proven he isn't a #1 playah. you can list all you want nothing will be correct.

fanboi maniac? i think its u with ur ___ so far up raphas __.

why did u even argue with him
obviously this guy hates rapha, and no one could stop him from trying to get rapha hated

wow ya thats right i hate the guy. I dont even know him. You're just a fanboi of cooller and ever other euro so you want to make some shit about hating rapha. nice try though, im on to you.

don't get trolled by him ;p

did you just say dkt and dahang aren't pro?

yes i did. two shitty ql duelers. They make their life in the 5-12th.

so we should just send rapha + current number 2 to all events instead, you'll have 1 game enjoy your quake

you should send the champion yes. Then the challengers. Not just the challengers without the champion. Who cares if a challenger wins a tournament if he didn't face the current champion.

You should go play vs dkt and dahang. Practice your own skill level.

(doesn't have to be in the finals, if the champion fails before hand then whoever wins is the new champion even still.)

dahang & dkt on the level of madix? lol how desperate can you get in your argumentation.

Yeah shitty if it hurts your feelings but its actually the truth.

haha you're getting more frustrated & clueless every time you bring this whole US vs EU thing up. Embarassing yourself yet again.

hahah you embarrass yourself yet again, your only reply to the truth is "hahahahahaah you're clueless and frustrated." You my fellow are so typical. Some how you read plain text and make up some emotional bs about it. You must be a euro. Americans don't get mad we go to war.

Get your head out of your star's ass, and you actually might enjoy a game or two without him in it... But don't bother replying, I'm not capable of arguing with your iron logic: "You can list all you want nothing will be correct."

raped son.

why are you not participating in any tournaments?

no money to :(

werd

it does take away when its the #1 player who has won 3 consecutive tournaments.

dkt and dahang are 5-12th material they aren't true americans.

EU > US!!!!!!!!!

#1 player was there his name is Cooller! ;)

"cypher was left with an embarrassing fifth to eighth place finish."

.

Nice writeup btw, I enjoyed that you looked at players like stocks, haha.

awesome write up! [+]

Cooller v stermy final would've been ohmg I think we all know this.

really nice article!

av3k played amazing this weekend, but for some reason I just think rapha would find a way to shut him down. av3k has previously seemed a bit too metally affected to me, when the game hasn't gone his way.

Besides that I'm certain Cooller would have won if the finals had been played on friday also. He was on fire at the end.

Very well written Corbie. Keep em' coming pls :)

who cares about tourney when at dreamhack we get to see spart1e dance
