Looks good.

Torzelan: if he gets to beat Empish, he gets Z4muZ c:

Predicting Tox, Funnyb, Fox, Prockz, Fazz, Purri, Spartie and Z4muZ to qualify!

A daring prediction i see.

madix > funnyb

funnyb most overrated player ever.

put us in a lan together, the real players knows who would win.

If i get unbanned one day we're having a showmatch at a _LAN_.

Those are all hypotheticals you're saying.

RE:

funnyb is a hypothetical (not even sure he exists even), funnyb being most overrated players is a hypothetical, you both attending the same lan is a hypothetical, real players's opinions in your post are all hypothetical, you beating funnyb is a hypothetical, you being unbanned is a hyptoethical and the showmatch is a hyopthetical.

Angry scrub being angry. Enjoy 1800-elo.

shouldn't you be venting out your anger at draven instead at funnyb?

Awesome!!! I need my quake fix badly now that 125fps isnt doing a january league.

zoto casting this???

As far as decided, only round 3 and 4 will be casted, but if there is no 125fps there might be a point in casting some of the other matches as well. I will talk to him about it. :)

make it happen! :)

some news about first rounds and stream ? i wish i can see fox ,z4muz etc .. Great job btw from u !!!

Zoot will probably not stream until round 2, but Im currently working on another option that might work out. :) Will give you an update asap.

Why no 125fps in january?

Yea... wut? No Jan 125fps?

Z4muz? Laskij? What are you doin there?

What do you mean?

I mean I didnt expect to see Z4muz because he is inactive for a very long time. And I didnt expect to see laskij because this is swedish championship.

He lives in Sweden and as far as i know, he has a Swedish citizenship.

Oh didnt know

Nice list of players, really hope all of them will show up.

good luck with the tournament!

Nice to see so many swedes! GL to all! :)
Sadly I didnt know if I would have time to participate during the sign up stages but Im not a dueler anyway...I only wanted to show support to these kind of tourneys! :)

Bets please.

.

Had me on the edge of my seat. Was disappointed :(

:D

Haha, if it makes you feel better I promise to play What does the fox say on stream if you win the whole thing. :) As a tribute.

the fox says: please dont play this embarassing song that embodies the meaningless (pop)culture of scandinavia

Comon! The song is a joke that makes fun of the meaningless popculture of scandinavia. It was made to be a part of a talkshow, and happend to get 300 million hits on Youtube. :)

i knew you're fucking stupid, but not being able to comprehend comedy song is just new heights of being dumb.

congratz.

the sing is not funny.

you, on the other hand, are quite funny :D

dumbass doesnt get the joke. totally unexpected.

watch ur bloodpressure :p

he (fox) has it as his ringtone

that makes me sad :(

jeez, player 2 is a noob

good luck to the old q2 players :) and to Bat4dead !!!

Zamuz and Torzelan so early on each other...hmm...this doesn't look right.

Looking over the brackets at all the names, you really get the "totality sense" of Sweden's contribution and more importantly, success, in the Quake realms.

interested to see how z4muz manages to play toxicity, and cure and sinister ...

if u were gonna put those in, might as well have put in t4 and proving grounds

omg so many players. i'm gonna cheer for the sexy thing of this tourney, funnyb.

LOL mby rename the thing? I was like "Quake Shootmania wtf???"

SM = Svenska mästerskap = Swedish championship.

Svenska Monsterskapet //Silvermanen

Fox in the first round oh my god. RIP

I thought this is only a 18+ yo event lolz

z4muz .

final day looks tense. So many bo5s? on one day? and the last being a bo7? I mean I know ppl wanna see more matches but that is a shit ton of games to be played on one day (including lower bracket)

when does it start?

Im confused

Assuming that me and lejmer win vs the guys in the start of the bracket and play each other - the winner plays vs Zanzan in the end? in dat case dat incorrect placement

No, you get Zanzan if you win your first match. Lejmer gets to play Spartie if he wins his first match. All the names is above the lines, if that makes it easier to understand. :)

Looks like this is going to be an amazing championship!

Strange way to spell funnyb

i heard blue is playing the tournament.....but i cant find "blue" on the list, so with different nick, somebody knows?
or is it only a rumor?

Blue is not signed up under that nick, and I really dont know if he signed up under another one. Would have been fun to see him play.

Rumor is lakerman, doomer, aim and fooki is also signed up under fakenicks, and maybe even okkun.

Na, all of them tried to sign up, but after the last day of sign ups, so I said no to them. Felt especially good to say no to Lakerman, who after all donated the greatest part of the prize money. :)

omfg not sure if srsly tard or master trole

Ofc it was a joke. :) Dont worry.

can I ask how the older players are expected to play the new maps? toxicity, cure or sinister. I'd replace it with at least t9, dismemberment and somethin else.

this. pretty dumb to use new maps with ppl like z4muz and fox.

remove sinister, toxicity and cure.

add t4, maybe t2 (a bit TOO oldschool perhaps, but would be fun as fuck)

No maps will be changed. The tournament was announced in August, and the players have had lots of time to practice. And besides this; it's fun that so many old players signed up, but the tournament isnt about finding the champion of 2007 - its about finding the 2014-champion. This mean maps that are played today will be used.

And besides this, Fox and Z4muz should be pretty comfortable playing DM6, Bloodrun and DM13, and that is actually enough to take them all the way to the final when all the matches up to the final is Bo5.

With that said, I thing you're both are underestimating the old school players ability to learn new maps.

at least include t4 and throw out some of the newer ones. im actually the last one whos against introducing new maps, but when it comes to see oldschool-pros, i wanna seem them on their best maps (which are the old ones).

in the end, did ur plans for the cup succeed? did you get a 1second mention in some local swedish newspaper? no offense, but this cup is super meaningless and a waste of (your) time. shame that you didnt think it through

Actually no, no newspaper yet, but swedish tv made an interview with me, as you probably know. But the thing is that I work part time as a writer for a swedish newspaper, so most of the time I'm the one doing the mentioning.

About this cup being meaningless, it really depends on how you measure success. If you think that time on tv or mentionings in newspapers is the right way, then ok, the cup is kind of meaningless: I will probably not me more famous after the 25th of January than I am now. The thing is that I also work with communications and PR, and I would never recommend a customer that wants to be good PR to start a swedish championship of Quake.

But if you measure success in how many Quakefans that will watch, and in how many old players that actually starts playing again, I would say it is a success already. I also think a great part of the community likes what I do, and that is really enough to make it worth it.

I think you're pretty sad who measures success only in mentionings, and dont seem to see that there are also other values than being famous.

But fine, feel free to not watch the stream on the 25th, and feel free to judge the success in any way you want. But please don't puke all over this thread, it is just not worth the time reading what you have to say about this.

ah k, ur intentions seemed different to me. if its really just about having a nice casual cup, then its gonna work, no worries)

Well, now you're wrong again. The goal is not anything casual, it is to make it as big as possible with a really limited (non existent) budget. And so far it has worked out nice. But I would never do anything without the aim to make it big, because then you end up with something that is just casual.

But on the other hand, we might have different views of what "big" means.

Great job on organizing this tournament!
Looks very good, let's hope all the big names turn up.

Thanks, I really hope so to, but it really feels like most of the big names will be playing. :)

http://www.quakelive.com/#!profile/summary/WhereIs1point6

I'm guessing I'm playing a faker?

The account was created the same day as he signed up. But I dont know, it's hard to prove anything. But on the other hand, you will probably beat him in the first match, if he even shows up. Ill send you his main on irc, so that you can contact him and decide a date and a time to play the first match.

funnyb to win imo

lol inb4 he loses first round to evil playing from nitrinos pc under whereis1point6 disguise

Why would I lose to evil, scrubs be scrubs.

evil fun will you have!

Wery nice, I remember there being rumors of the finals of this being on LAN, am I wrong or is this possible?

Also inb4 strenks trains zanzan and makes her win the tourney.

Look here. :)
