DEATH !!!!11

GoL!!

gj with what you got, but is probably the worst covered event ever. No admins help, most websites they advertise that do offer coverage obviously cover CS only. Well fucking played CXG, big flop and nothing has happened yet. Hope they can at least sort gtv out for the quake3 games and manage to tell us what the IPs are.

CPL > CXG

yeah we want gtv ip =]

Lets not hope its gonna be like quakecon2003...

well we got gtv ip's, but there isnt any proxies up.
because they got no screen to play whit.

<cXg-q3|rigor> tourneys are starting, everything is chaos at the moment
<cXg-q3|rigor> i regards to the q31v1
<cXg-q3|rigor> the main issue right now, is crappy lcd monitors we are supposed to use
<cXg-q3|rigor> Syn is workijng hard with admins to get this resolved, so everyone has nice CRTs
<cXg-q3|rigor> we do have GTV connectivity for you, although I've heard its a bit laggy, we'll try to tweak this as well
<cXg-q3|rigor> however thats later
<cXg-q3|rigor> right now, there are physical tourneys issues with the monitors mainly

<Red_Barchetta> ok
<Red_Barchetta> little update
<Red_Barchetta> for those joining us
<Red_Barchetta> theyre working on a monitor issue right now
<Red_Barchetta> trying to get crt montiors for all tourney machines
<Red_Barchetta> instead of lcd's

not only the worst covered event ever but they try to use LCD monitors for a gaming event ROFL. Now they change them. Fs, with all the gaming admins ETCCCCCCCC you would of thought someone would of told them that LCD monitors are no good for gaming.

another smart move by cxg.

Maybe the admins didn't know of the LCD monitors before they arrived to the event?

??!

not the admins, the organisers, the ppl behind the scenes, you know.

That's what I'm talking about. My guess is that most of the admins arrived just in time before the event started (thus not knowing of the monitor issue), while the organizers had been there preparing since way back.

and omni, let's hope its like ESWC ass soon they got the screen problem fixed :P

qcon wasnt really that good covered.

ok :D

okey.. Iam waiting here ^^

goo Death :) I hope he's been practicing with Cooller 24/7 and puts up a good performance. I'd forgotten just how amazing that CPL Europe showing was, that's got to be the hardest fought victory in a tournament ever surely? Slinger, Aim, PELE, Lakerman, Fatality. That was one hell of a lineup 2 years ago.

+ lexer, stelam, zyz, if22(in form), kane, neok, treble, rufus, pow3r, st_germain, neo.LuuuKe and other good duel players:)

I think that CPL babbages had the best players ever in their tournament.

CPL Holland was just as good too.

Nicest thing was, it was in Holland, but the prizemoney at that moment, you cant compare that with now.

i'd forgotten the enormity of that achievement too, until i read this preview. to come in from relatively nowhere in the q3 world and do that: wow.

Somebody please explain me, as I think this is too hard to grasp.

To run a local - LAN based - CS server, you need internet connectivity to validate on Steam servers? Is that really it?! You can't run LAN machines without internet access?

If so (that's what it looks like), heck, HOW TOTALLY F*CKED UP IS THAT!

How can you beat a clan called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling? LOL , That team name almost beats 20 inch dongs.

i hope klondyke kate aint in that clan !

Need to add a rule for WC3 that says everyone has to play their own matches...

Yes, some players might not take it for granted.

horrible event so far.

The ut2003 coverage is almost as good as ut2003 at CPL. That they manage to go lower than that is amazing...

i guess it shows that CPL aint hell (with angel as satan) like so many seem to think!

man stfu all of you with your "coverage" give them a break pls lol.
Horrible event lol what do you know? their prolly having the time of their lives there while ur sitting here waiting them to update soemthing lol nub

Exactly, idiot. It is horrible from his standpoint. Any other point is irrelevent given that he isn't there.

(02:04 AM) <cK-benny> cause this tournament is bullshit
(02:04 AM) <cK-benny> and it is gonna go down as the worst tournament ever run
(02:05 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> at this point no disagreement from me
(02:06 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> cXg are taking the entire network down, re crimpin the cables and also reghosting all the gaming machines
(02:07 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> dunno but the q3 players here and you guys arent the only ones fed up
(02:08 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> so anyways ill give you all a real update
(02:08 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> players were already told and agree and feel good about the decision:
(02:08 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> 11pm players arrive, noon we start playing... we are getting 12 machines dedicated to us with the promise that noone will bother us for the ENTIRE day
(02:08 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> the players convinced me to stick with the format
(02:09 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> Best of 3 Round Robin, Best of 3 Double elim brackets for the top 2 from each pool
(02:09 AM) <@cXg-q3|Syn-> last night i slept on the floor of the tourney area tryin to fix their mess and got a whole 90 mins of sleep
Syn looks to be having the time of his life :)
Lets hope it all works out today.

Is Unkind attending?

There is something like a player list, i sugest you have a look at it.

that's so nice to find back on D-DAY that monitors suck...
laughable

the cs girls started ? :s

why is there suddenly only 8 players in the bracket? :/
hence, have there been already some games?

daloticz ? they played ut2k3 ?

Quake 3 Arena: 1v1
First Place: $10,000.00
2nd-5th Place: $10,000.00

hu? everyone gets 10k's? hardly any motivation to play till the end if money is all u care really ;]

or hmm am i just morning-retarded? ;x

d.Hyd

yes, you are :P

i've read the price overall money is 20k so hence it will be the 10k are distributed over the 2nd-5th place, but nice price for 1st place! cooller go for it \o/ :D

[e] female compo:
Quake 3 Arena: 1v1
First Place: $2,500
2-4th Place: $5,000

hehe, wouldn't be that fair otherwise :o

omg... hope in some news soon... as i've been hoping in these 2 days -_-

what a joke on the part of ut2003 coverage tbh. thanks cxg :<

newsflash, bonzai isn't even going

I got a message from the cXg admins, that we could begin broadcasting the matches shortly after NOON PST (Which I believe is 9 CET). We'll post stream information in #iTG and #cXg-q3 on ETG.

iTG`djWHEAT

thanks for the info

one more Log from today, 8:00 CET:

<cXg-q3|rigor> alright
<cXg-q3|rigor> holy good f**king god
<cXg-q3|rigor> so I hate to tell you, but we dont know whats going on for sure... cXg looks like it may fuck over the quake players again
<cXg-q3|rigor> i'm not going to hide or cover for them.... its been a disaster for us so far
* cXg`q3|rigor has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

30mins after this statement, the q3 tourney got delayed again until 20:30 CET... I guess it was the right decision, cause none of the players would have been able to play 100% after this crappy long waiting time.
Anyway it can't get worse now.. let's hope for at least some nice games :(

hmm looks like cXg is a disaster...

At least the players are fully warmed up now with all the waiting :o

A bit tough to warm up without a monitor mayhaps?

They have the LCDs at least... and otherwise I think the CRT issue has been long fixed now :P

oh, there is a ut2003 tourny going on? i thought it was just a myth.

same shit as allways. bad organisation

Horrible.

fs, i knew i shouldnt have betted on 'Tagyourit!'

Lotus > tagyourit 82-(-3)

Now thats a spanking :)

I was about to post the same :) That must've hurt.

Heh yeah, the guy managed to get a non-negative score once (namely 0)... I bet even I would do better versus Lotus ;p

Just hearing that the CS tourney has been cancelled. Oh deary me!

omfg CS cancelled :/

skitso (ut2k3) is from finland, not norway btw :)

WELL FUKING PLAYED EXEC
Thanks for stealing a potential Cup winning position from the REAL top UK players only to go over there and forfeit the tournament =///

Wish i could get a free holiday to America and just forfeit all of my games. TAG are fucking ridiculus choosing Exec to Run the UT2k3 squad (a game in which he doesnt play berely) and then getting ONLY him to pick the rest of the team. Flamin joke rofl =/

Q

Hmm, you sound like a boy who knows what he is talking about, why are you not running or playing for TAG???
Maybe it is the imature behavior you choose to publicly display bringing us all to the conclusion you are not only, probably not one of the REAL players you speak of, but also, a dick!!

Becky - understandably people arent going to be happy unless a good reason is given.

this is a hand picked team that is being backed by the UKs biggest gaming magazine, with plenty of sponsors.
Some people have missed out on an opportunity that they could of taken.

As much as you support your partner im sure that you are biased, also im pretty damned sure that you know more as to why Exec didnt play his games than 99% of others on this site.

Infact, if you know better, why not tell us?

Good try sweetie, but i know about as much as you :D
Maybe i am being bias but i always think it better to find out the whole story before assuming the worse and judging peoples abilities on speculation!!!!1

i agree :D

He ended up owing the pit boss $10.000 and AMD didn't feel like paying it for him... no wonder he 'disappeared' :<

lol

only 10k in this short time!
id of lost me house / both cars and the wife by now!!

You'd pawn your wife? :p

pawn - to sell to pawn broker, and possibly pay for her to come back.

nope, id of sold her outright :E
that way if i win i could have one of those dodgy vegas waitresses that only want me for my money!!

Good point...

but if you lose, they'll throw you in the lion cage of the MGM Grand... along with your wife :<

Wish i could get a free holiday to America and just forfeit all of my games.

Hehe yeah.

kinda amazed on the selection aswell, i know that mtw|crush was well interested in being part of the team. i never saw anywhere that all players had to be UK (tho i may of missed something).

There are players in the UK that deserve it just as much. That lineup (exec, stevo, fuzeon) was supposed to be all about TDM,so its kinda funny to seem them competing in such a high profile 1on1 event... I just wish I coulda been there, but I don't have the kinda cash to fly off to Las vegas!

time to go round the uk taking part at all the littler LANs and winning some stuff, slowly get some individual sponsorship :>

Bitter much ???
cant say ive ever heard of you tho so maybe you do own everyone as hard as you think you do
or maybe not

Well Quasar > Exec. I've played Exec and he's a great bloke but he aint THAT good. I can see why Quas would be upset. Getting an opportunity like that and throwing it is kinda lame, but we dont know the circumstances yet, could be illness etc.

Could be anything. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of TAG do.

More UT2003 results would be nice !

http://www.gamers.com.mx/?display=1&id=54

If you want to see Quake III Groups

UT2003 coverage is bad, really bad. I guess it´s like that for most games aswell :(

cs tournie also really sux, theyve now decided to chuck the whole tournament out and do some random exhibition matches instead! pretty unfortunate for everyone really :/

go xyber

xtc all the way.

lauke takes the house!

lol i just found a pc with net access after 3 days!!!11

This event HAS to be the worst i have ever seen, its so crazy its actully really funny.

we know that already, you got anything new information ?

like wtf is actually happening !

Yooo, give us results !

nevermind that, the most important thing is ...

DID U GET TO MEET GARY COLEMAN!

Funny/sad.

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&polled[582956]=yes&post_id=582956

Quasar,

How about you actully find out whats happening before you comment.

First i entered this event with fuzeon for the 4 v 4. not the 1 v 1, but seeing as AMD run the event and i was here, i entered the 1 v 1 part because i was around.

The event has been delayed and delayed, shaggy came down with an illness on arrival and spent 3 days in bed, yesterday i came down with the same thing. Even feeling bad we came down yesterday morning @ 9am thinking things were about to start at 10, to be told by 1 admin that it was 12.

So we waited to 12, not seeing a single admin for the whole 2 hours. Finally it hit around 1pm and no one told us anything, we were then told that it would start around 4pm on LCD monitors. So we waited more and more and more.

I went out for a few hours with fuz and stevo, and felt even more ill so made my way back to the venue on my own and to rest for a while, i was then told it was delayed till 8 so i went back and rested and explored the area.

I came back at 10 to 8 to find not 1 ut admin in the building, finally i found a RCTW admin who told me the event had been moved to another casino on the strip. Feeling like crap i made my way to the casnio finally getting there at 8:30 after being sick to see group A playing warmups on pc's. I was told Me, Shaggy, Fuz, Stevo were all grouped into group A (lol) finally to be fixed by and admin and spread into different groups. Finally I was told i was in group b and wouldnt be playing till around 11:30 at night (6:30am uk time) feeling ill and jetlagged i sat down only to feel worse after 30 mins. We asked them to put Group B off to tommorow but they said no, so finally I decided to forfeit my games and goto bed, which i did.

Im still not very well now, feeling better, im not a liar so dont bother with any comments about me being one.

Shaggys playing today and he still looks ill also.

They cancled the CS tournament and now looks like the RCTW, and who knows if the UT2k3 will finish also.

1 Hour ago, fatality walked in, told the admins 'he wanted to play' even tho registration expired 2 days ago, everyone argued that he shouldnt be allowed, so they said now, only to have him come back 15 mins later complaining, then letting him enter into group D.

We had our headphones & my wallet stolen, Stevos pc vandalised, our config cd's smashed into 3 and placed on our desks. Now to find the UT2k3 4 v 4 to be cancled due to lack of signups and be replaced by 2 v 2 which now looks in doubt becasue the 1 v 1 is such a farse.

Quasar & co. your all out to get me and TAG, please just keep your mouths shut and let results do the talking, im fed up with all the flames and stupid comments made towards us because you felt you deserved it, its over and now we will prove that we deserve what we got.

We havent done this for a free holiday, this isnt anything like one, if u realise how much work has been involved in sorting these guys and myself out for the event only to be dissapointed as to what happened.

If you got any questions as to what happened email : [email protected] and ask, dont make childish comments towards me which are totally untrue. I thought you was older than that.

everyone argued that he shudnt be allowed cuz of sign ups blah blah blah? How petty can u get. Already suffering from lack of signups etc.

The reason people moaned was the simple fact that he has a v.good chance of winning the event and puts them further from the money.

fair doo's m8, i dont suspect ur lieing because i know you irl anyway.
Just a little bit bitter (as im sure many others are) the way this whole TAG selection was held (or not). Maybe i was a bit harsh on you and sometimes i do speak my mind when i shouldnt. I know im not perfect or the best around, but like me, the rest of ONE.ut2k3 (now FB.ut2k3), -lc, astz etc its been very unfair on us =/

sorry to hear your having a shit time but tbh, if your not happy going, ill go next time and play to represent my country even if i have 2 broken legs and a cold.

Q

UT2k3 Update,

Group A, B Finished,

C is still playing, D now has Fat added to the group.

oh man, that's awesome

Go United [5]!

Does anybody know what the RTCW prize money was? Wouldnt it be something if CXG cancelled RTCW so they could use it's prize money to pay back the CS players?

Yeah, wouldnt it be something if they canceled an entire event and used the prize money to reimburse the poor CS players. Think about the RTCW players jackass.

That has got to be the most ignorant assumption in this thread so far

i thought fatal1ty quit ut2k3, why is he in "group D"?

nvm

btw when are demos going to be up? =)

Group C:

Stryfe - 5/0
Shaggy - 4/1
Warlock - 3/2
Will - 2/3
Rkhon - 1/4
Travir - 0/5

Some Group D Scores:

Fatal1ty > Fuzeon 48-0 (Compressed)
Fatal1ty > Herman 33-0 (Ironic)
Fatal1ty > Steveo 18-11 (Antalus)
Fatal1ty > Th0r 13 - 7 (Compressed)
Fatal1ty > Infinite 20-11 (Ironic)
Fatal1ty vs Hectic TBA (Antalus)

Very surprising, fat took out both Inf AND th0r?

not suprising at all, GOOO FATA!!! \o/

N who says hes all practise eh, cs shud have all buy screwed him up n he still ownz :P

d

Fat is really something... even untrained i hope him only loosing to lotus/lauke!

hope he dont lose to any of em, fata for #1 \o/

so.. why isnt fata competing in the ut2k3, CS and q3 competition at the same time? It would be cool if he could place in the top in all 3 games :o

Any top American player could of told you guys this tourney was going to flop hard. I'm not surprised in the least... In fact, I'm impressed any games are being played at all...

lmfao , sounds like crap! :(

Wow, elpaujo > ZeRo4

From cached.net :

(elpaguo) vs ZeRo4
q3dm13 5:6
pro-q3dm6 17:10
ztn3tourney1 12:7

I heard he was good at OSP, but NICE.

z4 doesn't look himself at all if you watch his demos. I doubt he's practiced since Qcon.

I haven't seen the demos (I am on vacation and without OSP :/). But often people say 'he didn't play like himself' about a demo, when all that happened was that he was outplayed, was punished for mistakes, had to play catch-up, etc. From all accounts, though, you are a neat-o person with good judgement, so I guess you are right.

dm13 game was nice as hell...

Fat and Tagyourit are about the most interesting things sofar , wasnt Snoop*dx supposed to be there ?

I was planning to go in it's early stages. USA players and others told me it would be a biig flop, and it was. :) Besides that, my original sponsor who was going to send me wasn't interested anymore.... and I couldn't be bothered practicing and finding a new sponsor tbh although I had plans. :|

I was looking forward to goto ESWC alot more but it looks like theres no UT2kx. :(!

Anyway, cxg sounds like a nightmare right now. :p

**Edit** but atleast they are making some sort of effort to keep it going. :P

Too bad it went this way , would have loved to see another Snoop Vs Stryfe on compressed \(^o^\)(/^.^)/

\:D

Hmm seems like SK isnt unbeatable at last:
#5 Team64 over #1 SK.swe - (16-11)(7-8 as CT)(9-3 as T)

fucked up tourney :)

Right lemme get this straight... fat didn't sign up for the tournament (if I gather correctly?), makes up his mind after all and flies all the way to Vegas hoping he could still get a group spot even after the signups, and ends up kicking ass without practise?

Gotta hand it to him, the guy does have balls.

He made a CS team which was supposed to compete. But the CS tournament got cancelled. He then "registered" for the UT2k3 tourny at the last minute, which I believe many players disagreed to. :>

Interesting to see him going fairly well... I think lauke will beat him. :)

Ah ok, so he was already there.

Well he did pretty well, but lauke already beat him btw (don't know the scores).

CXG = A serious fuckup.

pro-q3tourney6 14:6
pro-q3tourney7 54:0

t6 and t7 - wtf? typo?

btw where is z4muz?

Does anybody know when they will have demos up any time soon?

This must be the most gigantic and utter failure of a tournament ever in the history of "professional" gaming.

What a joke to throw away the prizemoney almost at random based on single matches in CS and as it seems to be in RTCW just distribute it among the teams.

If they (CXG) ever recover from this it would be a good reason for an entry in Guiness book of records. As it is now they have an earned a spot there anyway.

Just my thoughts.

I totally agree.

Bad coverage is one thing, but to screw up the whole organization of such a well sponsored event cannot be forgiven.

Looking at the few matches that have been played after all, it could've been a really great event, the q3 matches were really exciting and ITG coverage was great as usual.

My thoughts exactly. There is no amount of bad preparation that can be used as an excuse for the cock-up of cancelling $120.000 worth of tournaments...

Personally I think the admins/organizers have a serious lack of responsibility, having players fly in from over the entire world only to have their tournament cancelled.

When are demos going to be up for ut2k3.....?

I want them to :)

Notice that three in the European Allstar team are Swedes? It could just as well have been an Allstar Sweden team, or Allstar Stockholm for that matter :)

Mangiacapra is English, he plays for 4kings.

blizzard is german

The bad thing about this is that it really endangers the future of pro-gaming. Sponsors will feel deceived by such bad organization, and they will hesitate to sponsor future events...

i have to shit now


if something happens please let me know thx

any further news about ut2k3?

Lotus v Lauke in final.

thank you friend of the farm animals :)

Np frenchie :D

lol he's blegium astz tart :)

Yea I know m8, I just like winding him up :PP

lol im not blegium i am a belgian from belgium

dont wind me up astz im not gonna blèèèèèh on you :)

Disaster :P

what an end... the whole network had to be closed cuz of 'security issues' o_0
djWheat has just interviewed clock and chaoticz via phone, and even they said it was "THE WORST" tournament they had ever been to. They sounded at least as sucked as all the people on gtv did... let's just look forward to eswc'04 !!!

this was pretty bad for 'esports'...

Fatality owned in this tourney.

First of all , the CS tourney was canceled and all the trips were paid(since he is sponsoring the Ifate team , he get the trips money back , and we all know that Ifate wouldnt have a chance against SK , Team64 , MIBR and etc...)
Then he managed to enter in the UT2k3 tourney and get 5/6 position untrained(what gives him a litle money at least) , proving he is a GREAT FPS player.
And to finish his team won from forsaken(his former team) , getting to his team more 10000 bucks and the attention of all the CS comunity .

Good job Fat!

GGL 2004!

Could any one tell me what the results of the group matches of Group C UT2003 where ???

Just heard the lads on rapha's stream talking about this event. Apparently players started stealing hardware after they learned the prize money wasn't coming? Can anyone comment on this?

Bruh wtf... I know Im late but your comment didn't age well though... You're an idiot for defending cxg. SCAM EVENT 11

Damn....
