Why does it matter... they could give everyone points for those games because the teams won't show up...

It's pretty logical bro. Otherwise it means you'd have points which other teams would never be able to have. It's like bonus points if you keep them. Know what I mean?

I do understand it is frustrating though ..

Lemme "rewrite the "schedule" the correct way":

Wednesday 03/06/15 21:00 CEST
Wildcard -vs- Not in the mood so...Wildcard
Probable WIldcard -vs- Most likely Wildcard

Thursday 04/06/15 21:00 CEST
Not sure the fourth will finish pooping soon enough to match the schedule so.... Wildcard -vs- My clan member have his Hamster with severe Diarrhea so ye... Wildcard

Wanted to play but annoyed at all the wildcard..so Wildcard -vs- WTF all dem wildcards? Fuck this shit... Wildcard

Sidenote: This is NOT meant to be offensive in no ways possible to any teams as some played all their matches at the said time with no WC blabla, it just reflects a certain kind of "annoyance", that I think a fairly decent part of the fervent quake watchers share with me :p .

Missed a game? Sorry I figured I was safe to take Monday off :( If anyone has a demo from spectator POV that you could send me I'll do a demo cast

ps: had to sort out the sound flags on yesterdays 102 vs iG game, but the sound has been fixed and the vod is available on youtube for those with twitch issues.

While not statistically relevant, this might help update our Bayesian priors as to who's da men.

That limbus game last night was the bomb. I was afraid 102 are gonna go into full rage mode and play full retard after pavel fell into the void with BS on second map, but they proved me wrong.

In the last 4 weeks, 102 have won:

12 out of 17 maps against MD
8 out of 11 maps against averagers
1 out of 3 maps against iG

So they are actually doing really good, just not winning the HoQ matches. They haven't played any practice matches against iG yet, so it's hard to extrapolate that one result.

The 2 maps they lost against iG in HoQ were only with a 4 frag difference, and one of the maps they lost against averagers yesterday was with a 5 frag difference.

It seems like it's basically a coin flip on many maps.

They also played together about 500 more games than any other team. Remember that they are actually the only (quakecon going) team that has played together for longer than like, 1,5 month.

<< Comment #29 @ 11:09 CDT, 5 June 2015 >>

scowl - Reply to #27

That's true, but you almost make it sound as if it was a bad thing. Good for them to keep playing and staying together for such a long time. If anything, it would be fitting if they were rewarded for that on LAN. ;)

I'd actually be kinda bummed out if, let's say, iG don't start practicing a lot, and then nonetheless won TDM at Quakecon.

edit: Then again, Meltdown have never before played CTF with their current line-up, yet they win 95% of their matches. So either teamplay is vastly more important in TDM than in CTF, or the amount of experience as a team is overrated. Things might be more complicated than that, though. :)

Not really disagreeing with anything but something what I've thought for a while is that the individual set ups (and how they affect play styles) of players will determine the dynamics of the team. MD is by far the best pure hitscan team with having 4 similar players who really shine from mid to long range. The maps (specially rooms) in CTF are relatively big and weapon control is minimal. This means that in CTF they will always have the hitscan weapons to abuse while in TDM the weapons can be denied.

Also, cooller's quad play in HOQ has been really questionable in my opinion. He seems to always prefer item control to killing enemies with weapons. This is not bad by default but he invests too much of quad time in doing basically nothing (10 -15 seconds to wait for a red or mega???).

<< Comment #31 @ 15:54 CDT, 5 June 2015 >>

scowl - Reply to #30

Yeah, I had a similar thought about MD recently. It's quite obvious that Japanese Castles is their worst CTF map due to the lack of LG, too. It's the only map they have lost with their current line-up until now. Just now they lost it for the second time, against Averagers, after winning like 15 maps in a row against them over the last few weeks.

Didn't see cooller's quad play.

Yeah I saw it on fazz' stream, good stuff.

Now you just need to find a solution for Ironworks. :D
Otherwise Qcon will be hard if most teams pick it against you.

DP for tdm
