yeah online champ with eu and usa great idea !!!!

US and AU should move in EU for this tournament. Rapha, dahang and fraze wont have any problems to get sponsors

Forget Fraze, he was a one time lan promise.

are you stuck in 2000s?

No South Africa :(

Ping

Because Australia doesn't.

Would:
+ watch
+ donate
+ support
+ advertise
+ plei blyad

But it look reaaaaly complicated and hard to imagine, after few years we didn't even have Nations Cup this year :/

indeed man. if the community could come together and make it happen I'd back it every way I could.

Duel ? :D

there's also a country named Germany.

[-]

you dont like german people?
understandable.

You mean... Germony?

haha, yea, I apologize :)

a more realistic and interesting format would be 5 top players from russia vs a rest of europe team (I very much doubt you'd be able to fly dahang/rapha over to play this)

you know they're stacked, they're the koreans of quake
you can play qualifiers or name captains, w/e

p.s : cypher is off to cs:go, good luck with that, rest of europe

where do you plan on getting $5000?

Church donation boxes.

Thanks? ;<
Edit: :D

inb4 Mexico on the list

Woah :)

Ins is only player with ELO > 2k from Portugal!

But again, he is the best player in the world, so it would be EZ for him...

unu is a beast

Oh duel? Fuck this.

You count as swedish :*

jag alskar dig

eu te amo.

what is "some kind of ESWC-online" exactly ?

I guess he meant ESWC 2004 format, nation versus nation

which was the best format of a duel cup ever. but it wont happen ever again, even online

It's impossible to play on EU servers from Australia.

Oh but surely it's possible with fibre optics. I mean gosh it's the speed of light and everything!

I'm sure you're trollin :)
but for everyone actually interested http://royal.pingdom.com/2007/06/01/theoretic...t-of-ping/

So getting 90 to NY from the UK with my 8mb broadband doesn't seem too bad afterall.

The actual speed of the signal will never quite match the speed of light. Even with fiber optics (glass) the speed of light is about 30% slower than through vacuum or air, and most of the distance covered will be through fiber.

A beam of light bounces around like a pinball when it travels along the thin (admittedly extremely thin) fiber, and that will of course make the distance traveled even longer.

The speed of light is always constant, the density of matter the light travels through is only the accepted measurement of the speed.

I have a solid fiber optic connection, with distances involved like Australia, tournament in EU... hopefully ain't nobody even will think about this ever again.

they play on EU servers all the time, they share a border with Germany for chrisakes.

I think spain + portugal should be allowed to form a joint team (Iberian or smtg), due to lack of interested top players in each.

why not make it a 100k tourney when we are in fantasyland?

Inviite Faty and vo0 \o/

also zyz!

zyz <3

Call it something else and make a tourney!

Duel nations cup was a cool format, I quite enjoyed playing for teamdenmark at eswc2004 with that setup.
Eventhough I failed badly ;)

Yeah, but no support - no motivation at all:) To get 5.000$ with donations would be NP, but Quake community destroyed whole idea and plans.

Btw I could promote for donations. Link to where I started to work few hours per day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbtFONEu_8w

I would totally come out of retirement for a nations duelcup, if I can still keep up with my countrymen :O

Topic edited. Check changes

So I added a few countries that felt left out.

Denmark, Belgium, Norway, Finland, Hungary, Czech republic, Romania, Turkey, Switzerland, Latvia, Ireland, Estonia and Greece.

However Careem, since this is online it pretty much needs to be cooked down to europe and its vicinity.
You should remove the likes of USA and Australia.

Thanks! A lot of countries were added:) There will be a lot bigger budget needed. To promote and to get money, sponsors for this tournament is not a problem. I would love to start with this and make it happen.

Imagine that every year, every country could have a chance to compete. Every country would send their own champ in the finals. This might get more players, more audience, more motivation for players, would bring players back, and so on.
