Yeah, I can understand your frustrations. I don't know what happened but everybody was complaining, even TEK9. I hope the servers are better next week (if we make it :p).

gl tek9

I've changed it to a 16-7 win for you. At this moment, there are a lot of questions to the admins but they weren't online anymore. I hope the answers come soon...

nice orga alleen spijtig dat admins op het einde al wegwaren :(
Servers waren inorde integenstelling tot wat sommige zeggen, ok wat schokjes maar reg was goed dus het zit gewoon in je Hoofdjeeeeeuh ggall

nice coverage :)

congrats iedereen :) ziet er een mooi begin uit, see you all at AEF ;)

Decider match (28 july 2008)

das dus op de dag van de 1/4 finales zelf ? is da dat niet lastig voor hun oppo's welke map etc...?

Why would that be? I just heard that both teams agreed to play that match on the 28th of july.

Idd nick, but the 1/4 finales are played on 28th of July?

So Tek9 and XIOP will know there opponent 5min before the start of their match, not knowing which map the oppo will pick. I can imagine that both teams want to prepare for such an important match?

You just have to train all the maps. I guess, like in any other tournament, that you only know your opponent's pick a few minutes before the match actually starts. That's fair for everybody; and it doesn't harm anyone if myLegend and ethereaL are still playing a decider match before the quarter-finals.

But that's on lan, now you have a whole week and the other teams already know there opponent. Who says they didn't agree to choose the maps early on? If they want a tournament style they should of played the match on Saturday 23.59 when all the groupstage matches were finished. It just seems weird to give a whole week and not allow teams to prepare themselfs.

tb that tek9 & LLL will face eachother in the 1/2 final..

great coverage !

stupid that tek9 and LLL eet in semi's instead of finals :s

What useless whine cranor :P have a little confidence and just wait patiently :D

Twistjah , you unknown faggot :p It's no whine because my team doesn't have the disadvantage. But you're probably new so I forgive you :)

it doesnt matter if they meet in the semi finals or in the grand finals, they will face each other anyway.. ;)

is it single elimination?

Not that new as you might think, but doesn't even matter. Especially when you say you're not the one with a disadvantage, there is no reason to act like that. Especially your comment on the LLL website is far from correct (and I know this from the right sources xD)

Anyway, gl all teams, the real competition starts now

I'm really sorry for pointing out an error...
I'm not talking about which teams faces which team in semis or final. I just think it's unfair that 4 team can pracc a whole week for the bracketmatches knowing which maps they'll be playing and other 4 teams who don't even know who they'll be facing. Sorry for trying to be fair, I'll never try it again :)

so true =x

Yes, single elimination in a best-of-three type.

When compared with the Netherlands, Germany or France, Belgium has always had some trouble in the past with organizing qualifiers for international events. In 2008 however, it seems Belgium has finally caught up with its neighbour countries. This year the Belgian ESWC qualifier will be organized by Gamevibes and LowLandLions. The managers behind these established names have proven their organizational talent time and again. Wsquared, the organisation behind several Dutch qualifiers, have offered their expertise and will overlook the qualifier.


I don't understand, Starlan send CS1.6 cs female Trackmania Quake Warcaft players to ESWC, where are the trouble when L3 is only send their players to ESWC ?

There have always been money issues for the last years. I truly believe that Starlan did a great job, but it got harder and harder for them. I'm grateful for their efforts in the last years but I'm also grateful towards L3 and Gamevibes because it isn't easy with a tournament being held in the USA instead of France.

That's the difference: USA <-> France

interesting :)
