Division 3 report - part 1

2006-02-04 15:29

Division 3 - "weekly" report - part 1

Many of you probably wonders why my reports in division 3 are late. Here is the deal, I've been quite busy with duelmania, interviews and irlstuff. And the second week only 2games were played, I think - so I chose to NOT write a report after week 2. But, now clans are on fire, and they play every day, so, I decided to make a report now, and one later tonight, so it won't be a huge deal to read like 5000000lines. I hope you understand, and I'm very sorry for the delay.

This is part 1, part 2 will come tonight, and perhaps a part 3 if I'm not finnished in
part 2. Enjoy :>

pige(pai), the former mny star, joined blt, which is necessary for the survival of blt in div3. with pai in the team, they might
be able to win a couple of games. So, get on with the frags BLT!

CMT lost their former starplayer Joulukuu who joined hippushnik again, in division 4B. Why I don't know, perhaps he didn't feel at home with mipa and his crew. Instead Mega joined(Ron_jeremy) and he will give some strength to cmt. Anyhow, there has been 14 games since my
last report, so this is going to take a while to read through.

After four weeks, Shadow minions are leading the division with 19points,
8games played, followed up by Veterans, 18points 7games played. Third in the division is Apocalypse 2006,
with 15points, 8games played.

in my preview I wrote that I thought apocalypse 2006, Veterans and
shadow minions were going to be top 3, if thats true is yet to see, but right now, my preview is correct. My last report was A2k6 vs. Ax3, so I'm going from the first games played till the latest games played.

The drama queens in freedom have now got a new member. The former hellfire and oblivion-star xorcist. Freedom can actually win a dm2 now when they got the superstar flintheart with his motto "dm2 so ez, we only win there"
with the podsmoker xorcist high @ high rl.


First game:
The first gamed played after A2k6 vs. Ax3 is NoName vs. Veterans
The first map was E1M2, it started kind of slow, both teams csed some. But it turned out to be one hell of a game, it was tight, went back and forth. NoName gave a good fight, but Veterans secured their victory with just a few minutes left, ake screamed in ts2 "ut o harva" and dive got quad and made some kabadaboomfrags, ending up as topfragger. Veterans was kinda chocked that NoName put up such a good fight.

Second map was DM2, which also started kind of slow, was pretty tight. mille showed us he also knows how to play, and he requested the quads from ake. Ake gave mille his permission to go crazy and madhax. He got some rls, killed some boomsticks, took armor, laughed at ake
and made veterans win dm2 aswell.

Score: Veterans 2 - 0 NoName



Second game:
The next game we are looking at is Veterans vs. Bad Luck Troopers.
BLT chose DM3, where it went the ways of the veterans. Jagular teamed with mille in ra, stealing quads, making some frags and locked the map. Veterans are on fire now, and the only team that might stop them is sm. Veterans chose DM2, since they practiced against BLT one week before this game, and kicked BLT with 250-25. Veterans thought that it was a ez win before the game even had started. Veterans took control early in the map but were unable to secure low, with bad luck troopers in ra-mega. When the countdown started, there was a 30frag lead for Veterans, and they were able to win DM2 with slowspawning.

Score: Veterans 2 - 0 Bad Luck Troopers.


Third game:
Apocalypse vs. Compot is the next game you are going to read about. A tight game, it all begun with DM3, where spzman ran around like a aids kurwa and collecting frags everwhere.
The russians sure proved that even they can when they want to. The swedes with the minping couldn't stop spzman and lost with two frags, 135-137

Next map was dm2, where A2k, with tGM in the top held tele and collecting quads won. Some russian rat chewed on spzmans connection-line so he timed out. Instead some lamer named des joined, and compot got a warning. A2k won with 191-119

Decider @ e1m2 - spzman was disconnected, with full of hate to that chewing rat, so compot played with uzhas on e1m2 instead of spzman. It was tight on this map aswell, but after wenty full minutes, the russians came out as winners. With their 188-160 score, they took two important points against A2k6. Well played!

Score: Apocalypse 2006 1 - 2 Compot


Forth game:
Team Freedom (drama queens) vs. Veterans
I must say that I'm amazed by team freedom. They are a good team, still they manage to loose. They are a nice gang, with cool and funny players, if only c - the player - could admit he's the dr?ng of the team they could win a couple of games. Anyway, Veterans are perhaps the strongest team in div3, and Ake Vader said on irc, before week 1 started, "I will be very disappointed even if we loose one map against a team in div3". Perhaps they are better off in div2?
The first map - Dm3 was pretty even and the clans score was even aswell. It wasn't before the last penta when Ake snapped it that Veterans could secure the map. Veterans won with 194-174.

E1M2, the second map was pretty ez according to Veterans. They managed to keep gl/ya safe and Freedom couldn't do that much about it. Freedom needs more practice - so keep playing my friends! Veterans won with 278-166

Score: Veterans 2 - 0 Team Freedom (drama queens)


Fifth game:
The finnish players vs the russian players in NoName vs. Clan Metally Troopers
DM3 - hafog is more than a nice guy - he's also a nice player. He ruled Dm3 where it was pretty even. NoName through their super-star cheater ilf managed to keep up good. But, hafog(hfg) lead his comrades to victory - 156 - 115.

DM2 was a rape. Without cheater-ilf in the team, NoName couldn't do anything, and it was a easy victory for CMT. 234 - 86 for cmt.

Score: Clan Metally Troopers 2 - 0 NoName


Sixth game:
The thriller between Shadow Minions vs. Clan Metally Troopers
is the next game. mm is a teamplayer, trying to give his teammates credit, but I must say that he's the one who leads them to victory. I can say that sm is like d2 - sm is mm and tree players, d2 is billy and three players. Shadow Minions play great though, they get mm rl, gets mm quad, let mm frag out rls, lets mm secure the key on the map, take some rls, keeps the key seceure and lets mm frag for them. I might be harsh here, but thats almost the way it is. I really would like to see sm and vets in div2 next EQL. The first map was E1M2, where sm took alot of frags in the first 10-12 minutes, then played easy till the end and won with 208 - 142.

The next map was DM3 where cmt locked the map in the beginning. They had control over quad, pent and ra. But, sm played well and even with the map kinda locked by cmt, they managed to get some frags also. When there was a few minutes left, mm became angry, took rl
and quad, and fragged his way to a secure ra. A nice comeback and with mm's frags, they managed to win by four frags on dm3, 140 - 136. I would wanted cmt to win this game, since I like them, but the better team wins, and thats the way it is.

Score: Shadow Minions 2 - 0 Clan Metally Troopers.

The last game for this part is coming up now.

Seventh game:
the last game in this part is Compot Vs. Ax3.
My polish friend spokz with his 70~ ms played very well. I thought Compot would be a hard opponent to Ax3, especially
since they won vs. A2k, but I was wrong. Ax3 played splendid and won the first map - DM3 - with 175 - 88.

Even the second map - Dm2 - They played great. It was no problem for spokz and his axe team to axe murder some enemies and bring alot of frags home for their team. 283 - 92 to Ax3

Score: Ax3 2 - 0 Compot

Interview - Sassa

2006-01-21 21:53

I got this exclusive interview when Sassa had some spare time. (spare time my ass, this took about 3 hours, we did it manually in private chat on irc, and we both wanted to go to bed after one hour)
I wasn't sure what to ask such a experienced player and experienced admin as Sassa, but I think I came up with some interesting questions - and I got real good answers - although we had our own fight/discussion about some things that we disagreed on, and I thought it would be better to leave out our own fight from the interview. The interview is quite long and there is alot of text, so bunker up with chips, snus, cola/beer and your favourite music.

Read - Enjoy - and find out who Sassa is under the mask.

!Warning!: There might be alot of grammatic errors. I've fixed the most of the spelling, since Sassa writes like a crow. Sorry for that :).


The mighty sassa, tell us about yourself - where you are from, what you do, how old you are etc.
Hmm.. were should I start ? My name is Roz and Im from Iran, the mighty country of the Persians ;) I'm right now in Sweden and I am 23 (jaiiiijjjkkkz) years old
I have worked in denmark for over 3 years now, maybe 4 years. Going to move to Ume? and work/studdy there the 30'th of january and then finaly I will get 13 ping on iop ;) the big plan this year is that im going to WC in germany this coming summer and cheering for Swe and Iran ;)


When did you start playing Quake and how has your journey been througout the beginning to were you are today? (funny, difficult, boring, experienced)?
I started playing NQ with "calling ur friends house with ur modem" so only 1 person pays it ;) around -98. We often played e1m1, after a brief time I moved to nqCTF (98) but didnt knew shit about it. So, after 6 months I got really god at it and joined swedens best clan, at the moment, (fuck da world) with appelaxx/macatonia/marshal etc.
Unfortunately, it got disbanded like 10 days after I joined. So I created smurf clan, but due inactivity it was abandoned, so I joined DrQ (99). But, it didn't last that long, cause I moved to NQTDM(99) due all of those whining assholes in ctf and joined Lost Angels (who become the best clan with mm as the star player). I joined up with 036(00-01) and played there for a LONG LONG time - unfortunately, olof quit playing, so I joined Maniacs [0] (-01 > -04)
We won the last SQL league in netquake ;) then we decided to move over to QW. We participated in NQR3, signed up one day after we had begun playing QW. We had only played dm6 1on1/2on2/3on3/4on4/5on5 and sometimes 6on6, so I didnt knew jack shit about dmm1 or other maps ;) so basicly, we sucked. But, puzler joined Maniacs, and he really taught us how to play, in the end of -03. puzler is a 'hall of fame'-quaker. He has won everything that you can win in QW (tdm and tf) - he learned me the trix of qw 4on4 ;). Our squad was Sassa, Smalagreger, RocketZ, Diablo, Hustak and Goofy! Then I went inactive.

When I came back [0] was dead, so I joined up with fnu in div5 around 03-04 and then reformed [0] for 1 season of NQR, and I sucked big time, I was dreadful. So I have been around div3-5 all the time from end of 02->05
At qhlan8, I asked trash if I could join Suddendeath, I wanted to join a clan that had the same type of activity as my Maniacs had, that is to play all the time.

I hate playing 1on1/2on2, only 4on4 and endif is worth playing imo and trash took me in and I became a SuddenDeath member in the begining of 05. Most of the players in SD almost left because of me joining, but after lots of praccs and tactical improvments, they let me stay and we are a big fucking family now with 3 sections:

SD1 (div1) SD2 (div2) and SD.Project (div5)
We won div2 in nqr8 (but lost in the playoffs) and I'm now div1 ;) or am I?


We can see you as an admin for EQL, QW.nu, the QW-forum, duelmania and so on, when did you start becoming so involved in the qw scene as an admin?
acctually It all began when I played NetQuake - or Quake1. I was always clanleader for my clans in rqCTF, and in my first RQ TDM clan (hpw section) I was a cl aswell. So from there, I got to be the leading man and I helped out with SQL (scandinavian Quake League) season2 and 3 I think and 4? if im right? apa, blaps is that correct? And after that I moved to QW around the end of 2002, with Maniacs [0]. Reppie asked me if I wanted to help out with the new endif tourney, because I was specing alot and had the time to help out. So from there I got to be an admin. I must say, it's lots of work behind it all, and lots of ppl that dont get enough credit of their work!

I think I have asked to become a nqr admin several times but always got rejected ;). I always have ideas (good and bad) - and always want to make the best for the community - and now I'm back again as an admin.



I think we have all heard you comment games in teamspeak with gaz or someone else, when did you begin to comment highly skilled games between good clans and whos idea was it from the beginning to start doing that?
It all started when I put up a ts server on my private 10 mbit fiber connection (2003) that my clan (Maniacs [0]) used then I started commentating the games just for fun for my clanm8s, and I saw on the smackdown column site that hangtime did a commentary of the sd3 quarterfinals between tvs and fs on dm3 on the closest and fastest dm3 games I had ever seen. He did the commentary like 4 months after the game or something
so I had a qizmo night - as I had often back then. And alot of people asked me for demos. I started to give out the teamspeak server to more and more ppl, and it just grew. I think that around nqr3 finals? I started commantating real big games but the best game EVER that I commentated was with hangtime and blitz on sd5 I think - was the semifinals
LA vs cmf - were la won 3-1. I never cared of making mistakes as a commentator, I think its just a part of the thing to make mistakes and give ppl something to laugh too and just enjoy it even more. Just like Arne Hegerfors said: "ser m?rkt ut p? kameruns avbytarb?nk" (it looks dark on Cameroon's the substitutes' bench)



Some people might think you took over ParadokS place as a face for the qw scene, because you have put alot of time and a great effort with the things you have done. To have all the spotlights in your direction, standing in the light of glory, you surely must have taken, or take, alot of whine and crap from people, when you screwed up or done something wrong. How do you deal with all the malicious comments that you must have taken during your time as an admin?
its only gaz flaming me ;).... nah j/k
It is rather okey, I always listen to ppl and sometimes I make 2 hasty suggestions, which I should not do, I'm reffering now to the eql1 div1 finals..
But, ppl talked to me and got some sense into me. It's okey, no1 really whines and I'm not the face of the qw scene nor was paradoks nor is any1. The scene of qw is the ppl who are on the servers and playing and if I'm not playing, I'm not in the scene. And right now I' not playing because ur interviewing me - guys, dont read this, go and play GOD DAMIT


What is the worst thing that you have done, or the worst mistake - and what have you got the most negative critic for?
Hmm, now I gotta think :) (Sassa goes silent for a few minutes). I got lots of critic from the nqr admin on the last nqr(8?) when I wanted to bring div2A and div2B togheter and made a massiv protest for it, and I got kick+banned from #nqr and all my threds on the forum were deleted. But, I finally got my wish through and the tourney was one of the best I have played :). Well, what about when I said "what map will be next if cmf wins this" and it was already over? I think I did that mistake twice? man I dont really know what I have done bad? any1 help me here ??? Oh btw, I have been clanleader almost in all my clans since 98 and I have kicked out 2 players (?)
Hehe, so I dont think im that much flamed from players, I try to be the same way as I want ppl to be too me - SO BGSD on you



When I got a practice game to play - or EQL, I often break and write "snus" - because I can't play without snus. I often hear that I'm a 'Sassa-wannabe'. You're famous for breaking the countdown and writing "snus" - Why is that?
HAHA LOL! Its your fault that I write so much, I got another story right here, no1 knows this, so this is a first timer. In the old mqwcl client, where there wasn't a cl_gameclock, you could press tab(showteamscores), and you could see a little clock running. That clock started when u joined the server, so I wanted that clock to hit X:50 - or 20, when the countdown would start. So when the game starts, it would be X:00 or X:30 so I could keep track of the time, but lots of ppl bugged me when I breaked, so I always wrote snus, and I took a snus at that moment aswell. After 1-2 years, I just couldnt stop NOT taking a snus when the game would start. Now when I got the cl_gameclock I really dont need to stop the clock and sync it, but I need to break, because of snus addiction :)
(I hope u understood the explanation!)



You've been admin for a long time, who or which person(s) are the best people you ever admined with - from the very start of your admining career till today?
apa back in the rq.se time (http://hem.passagen.se/rqse/) from 01->02
trouby/thebeats nqeu.tk (http://members.webdeveloping.nl/~trouby/nqeu/) from 02-> now
AuF in SQL 01-02
Vert and eb (dope) in duelmania 02->03 I think vert has been one of the best admins I have ever worked with, his work is to perfection
then I got Ake_vader and Term in the current EQL that are just fantastic, I really dont know were I would have been without you guys. P
Paradoks, eter, jezaja and Zalon in qw.nu did a fantastic job with qw.nu, all their time and effort for the community was just fantastic..
all tourneys have to have a running guy, webmaster and a speaker
I think that we in EQL combine those three perfectly, thats why it has been a huge success, yeah its a success imo.



How did you deal with the matter of sd2. I mean, they got grisling, phrenic and molecule, a very good team, perhaps one of the best in div2. How come you placed them in division 2 with those players, and I've noticed splash joined, he's also a former div1, is it fair admining, or do you allow it because you are "one big family" and you want them to play in div2 to make some ez frags?
haha, well I was not that much into the sd2 talk, was more the other admins, same thing with letting splash join sd2 now during the season! (I mean if muti is in obv then splash can be in sd2?).
But the names or worth shit, just look at hhhv with goljat etc. ppl say it was shit of letting them join div2, and time tells, and it did. SD2 have lost 2 games already and will probably loose one or two game before the season ends! It's all about tp, not the players (uh ssc was not tp, sry, ssc was milton), but they need to get their tp going and get more active and than they will beat clans such as zoo who will win div2 imo.



How do you as an admin react to the incident that happened between CMT and Team Freedom in division 3. I mean with the 2xdm3-games. Did you bend the rules or just didn't care? And what are you going to do about it so it won't happen again? (need to ask so I can end the story about this h!o!t drama)
if both clans agree on a map thats in the list, why should we stop them? but its still not good to go against the rules
I think we should perhaps add a rule there
to give the clans the chance to play dm3x3 if they want to and yeah, we will improve more for eql3. We have already improved alot since eql1, or what do u say gaz and djevulsk?
bah Im tired now ;)



The map vote-system was dreadful. How come you made it like that?
We wanted each division to have its own map-list, if most of the clans wanted 5 maps then they should have 5 maps, if they wanted TB3 only then let them have tb3 only. I guess we made some errors there with not having 2 votes, 1 for 3 or 5 maps and 1 for extra maps, then the result would have been more accurate than it is. But, they are the small mistakes that a new league does, and it was the begining of eql2. We had to get a new design (thnx bps), and a new schedule which we worked on for 1 week to get it correct. We still have lots some errors that needs to be fixed, and we are trying to solve them for the next eql, think that NQR had lots of season behind them until they made it "OKEY".

We want each season to be better than the next 1 for the players, but not all players get satisfied, there are always a bunch that disagree and mostly they are the ones that u hear from. Honestly, there aren't that many arguing about the map voting, not more than 10 and thats not so many, but still we listen to them, we want eql3 to be better than eql2 and 1 :). So, it's good that u guys speak out, DO IT, just DO IT @ Ben Stiller :)



You play in SD(Sudden Death) and have played there since the beginning of -05 if I remember correctly, where was your skill where you joined compared to today - and how have you managed to raise your skillbar so much?
I was around div3 when I joined sd2, I was acctually below average div3, we got phrenic from div4, and retic from div3 aswell. ok98, bps, splash, bagge and tumult were left from their old squad.
It?s really easy to explain why I became better (did I?) We played vs better teams, all the time. Behind all this is lots of talk about how to play the game in its tactical point of view - if ur on dm2, with 1 rl and the quad is coming in 10 secs
u got 200 200 10 rox, should U do a rambo attack?

it's important to learn what to do, when and how, we use mm3 (ventrilo) and that helps us aswell.
Now we have a core team of 4 players (retic/bps/ok98/sassa) and we know exactly how to play on all maps.
you just need to get some advice, look what I (yeah what I) did with jokkmokk, got them from div4 to div2 with learning them some basic tactics.
I think that all teams in div4 can go to div2 in 1 seasons after some "basic tactical camp" :). Haha that sounded so gay, it's not how you play the game, its how you think in game... kind of



So, what does the great Sassa do when he's not playing qw, or doing qw related stuff?
Im ADDICTED to Football... I used to never miss a game, had all teh channels and watched football 24/7..
during the summers when the weather is bad. When there was no football, we watch any sport we could find and bet ;) like waterpolo, vollyball or just any sport.
We had persian/greek/french/german/uk/spanish channels and there was always some kind of sport on the tv.

I played lots of football earlier aswell but due to my traveling lifestyle it wasnt that popular in my team. I was (am) a fanatic fan of Malm? FF, the best club in swedish history, and used to go to all their homegames + 50% of their away games, but now I just cant do it anymore because if they losoe I will go nuts.
I call myself the lexicon of Football ;) though I'm not that good with the english football history, so be kind on those questions :)

Im as good with girls as dag is on dm6 ;)


You have been a admin for several years now, do you have any plan when to retire? And if you choose to retire(or not choose, perhaps if you die), who do you want to see step up after you and fill your great hole? Who do you want to see become the next Sassa?
Hehe, there is lots of candidates, you got peppe/stroller that are devoted to qw.
You might see some pl guys aswell like lorkn that is running the 2on2/endif tournys in pl.. JSS is doing a nice job over at qw.ru so he might take it over totaly if he decides to step out of russia ;) But, my final vote would go to JSS (runner up: peppe)


dm3 or dm2?
dm2!!!!
discharge or axe murder quad?
discharge ;)
snus or getting a blow job?
break snus ready
dmm3 or dmm4
dmm4
sluts or hoes
sluts
russia or poland
poland
play or comment+spec
comment+spec
blonds or brunettes?
blonds
weed or beer?
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed+beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer
join oblivion or getting anal raped?
* Sassa takes his pants down
gaz or ParadokS?
Para

Anything you would like to add to those who hate you out there (gaz)?
hehe he dosnt hate me, its all love under the sheet :), PEEKABOO to all sd's!! damn this took way2longtime, its all racers fault with good questions.. good fight good night and may allah be with me
ps. Alexander the great was from Macedonia and not greece (puss goqsane)

Alright, thank you for your time, I hope you will continue being an admin and good luck with your career
No problem racer =) and thnx for fixing the spelling, as u guys now I dont care of the spelling :)

Division 3 interview - mm

2006-01-19 21:13

I got an interview with the starplayer mm from Shadow Minions.

What is your irl status? Like name firtsname if you are shy),
age, work/school and other basic stuff?

My real name is Stefan and I currently study at komvux in Stockholm, Sweden. On my spare time I like to work out (gym/thaiboxing) play qw and smoke weed =)


Give us a brief resum? of your qw career. How and when did you start and why do you keep playing?
I started playing rq(regular quake) in -98. I played with LA(Lost Angels) for a while
Autumn of -00 I started playing quake3, and I played it for about three years, and I played one season in eurocup before I quit playing Quake3.
In the early year of -03, I was fed up with Quake3 I wanted to play something else, so I begun with qw. And now I keep playing qw mostly because I really don?t have anything better to do =)


What is the greatest moment in your qw career?
I don?t really have any greatest moment(s) yet, but I hope I got some stuff to brag about after this season in EQL2.
There is one thing I could mentionhough, once we beat DT on dm2. =) It was the first and only time we ever beat a div1 team.


And the worst moment?
Hmm, maybe the final in NQR4 vs PE, it was a quite disappointing because I played terrible, I let my team down, and PE won.


What sort of qw game style do you prefer the most? 1on1, 2on2, 4on4, ffa or other?
I enjoy 2on2 the most, but the other is fun to. I prefer 2on2 because I can control most of the map myself. 1on1 is sometimes too much cs, even though I like to play cs myself, but I really get annoyed when my opponents play like that =)

You're good in QW as we know - Can you see yourself playing any other multiplayer game on the same level as you play QW?
I think I was better at Quake3. as I said before, I played in eurocup for a season, the highest division. I came second place in a Quake3 4on4-tournament at DreamHack 2002, won 8000 SEK(about $1000, split in 4)
One time I won a 1on1-tournament in RQ and I won $1000 =)


Do you usually whine alot during games or do you belong to the quiet ones who just keep playing and have a fun time whether you win or loose?
I get frustrated sometimes, but I usually whine irl, like screaming
"VAD T?L DU?!?!" (whats your hp?), I'll leave the teamwhine to blaps and mooseman who mostly whines in ts2.


According to me, you're the starplayer in sm, but who in your team do you think is the key to the most victories?
Blaps of course, he got some amazing clan leading abilities, u wouldn?t believe the things he know, without him we would be completely lost.


Where in the division do you think your team will end up?
I think if we have our best lineup and some luck, we might win divison3 =)


What team will give you the most difficult time to win a game in divison3?
To be honest, I think with our best lineup only Veterans can give us trouble, but the thing is aap isn?t allowed to play qw, He got to satisfy his girlfriend.. All the time :/

What team will win div1?
I would say LA, nabbe is really good, and I hope to see dag playing some.


What do you think about EQL- good and bad things with it? Compare it to NQR, is EQL better or worse?
Eql seems to be more active, with previews and such. But overall I think it?s about the same.


Would you like to see another season of smackdown? Why or why not?
I don?t know what smackdown is, but sure =).


Whats the most fun - to play vs. a team thats alot better than you, or alot worse?
It's more fun to play against way worse teams, I hate being spawnraped for 20min, but I really like to play teams that are a just a little bit more skilled. I like the challenging part in QW, like sneak attacks, the RL war at quad, or both teams fighting at pent when it's about to spawn.


Ok, here comes some quick questions

Besmella or QW.nu
qw.nu

TB3 or kenya?
TB3

Playstation or Xbox?
Xbox definately.

RL or shaft?
Shaft with truelightning =)

Speccing div1-games or playing div5-games?
Playing div5-games, I don?t like speccing

fallbunny on or fallbunny off?
Fallbunny? Whats that?

Airgib or quadrun?
quadrun

dag or griffin?
dag

BGSR or BGSD?
wtf?

Nqr or EQL?
EQL :)

Milton or ParadokS?
Milton, I might be wrong but paradoks seems to be an asshole (no offence)
because I think he has a bad attitude, calling people he playes with/against
for noobs and so on. I don't think he realizes that most people in the qw scene
plays because they think its fun.

Shotgan Trick Bud or Sassa?
Sassa

Anything you would like to add or tell your fans?
Yes - smoke alot of weed

Alright then, thanks alot for your time, and good luck in Divison 3
Thanks, and you're welcome :)

Division 3 report: Week one

2006-01-09 03:06

Division 3 - Weekly Report

So, the first week of EQL2 has passed and we have seen
some interesting games. I think it is going to be one
hell of a season in division three. Now, I guess most
of you already know it, but joulukuu has turned down
Hippushnik, and made his way back to division three
in clan metally troopers. This means CMT got back their
starplayer from last season. CMT is going to be a
very tough opponent with joulukuu and jenna15 in
the team. Mipa sure has some tricks in his sleve
and I believe he has his and his teams eyes
directly at the top of the division.

I'm realy excited to see cmt make some gibbs
with their strong lineup, so, let the games begin!

*** Note: Be sure to read the third game AND how the admins
fucked up their own rules. GG! ***


There was five games played this week, and here is a summary
of all of the games:

First game:

First off was shadow minions versus Team Freedom.
Freedom won DM3, without any trouble, clive(znappe)
starplayed and was able to make 70gibbs for his team, and lead them to victory.
It's nice to see Freedom with their oldschool players manage to take one
map vs. sm. Continue the good work boys!

Continuing, next map was DM2 which sm won, thanks to their
starplayer mm, who always smokes pod and calls himself stoned,
in the late hours of mix games on the wargamez servers.
Maybe it's just me, but I cant' recall mm playing for 3-4years ago.
Maybe he changed nick, or I'm just way off the line. Anyhow,
he is one of my favourite players in div3, he has the
skill of a div1player, the tp of a div2player, the
awareness of a div1player, and he just keeps on topfragging
and dodge the discharges of the opponents.
I can't understand how Freedom didn't win dm2 since
I got this nice quote from one of their players:
"dm2 ?r tr?kig, vi vinner ju bara d?r" (c) flintheart
(dm2 sux, all we do is win there)

So the score was tied, and since division three only play
tb3, the decider map was E1M2. It was tight game,
it could have ended up with victory for both
teams, but sm, with mm as usual in the lead,
secured their victory by fragging enemy rls,
taking armors and clearing mega/ga.

Score: Shadow Minions 2 - 1 Team Freedom.



Second Game:

With minping 49, the second game, shadow minions vs. PsychoHaloons Crew
started off with a tight DM2. Although, when the, sorry for
repeating myself over and over, starplayer mm got his hands
on rl it was over. with almost the double frag score as
his runner-up teammate, he won them the map. If I were you,
I would really try and keep mm's hands away from the weapons.

E1M2 ended up with mm in the top aswell, I don't have a clue
how he does it, but he does it. SM won e1m2 and got three
points for it. mm really is hot, so watch out for him!

Score: Shadow Minions 2 - 0 PsyhcoHaloons Crew.



Third Game:


clan metally troopers vs. Team Freedom was the third game this season in div3.
This game was realy good, I didn't spec it, but I can tell from the
screenshots and the people talking about it that it was GOOD.
It begun with DM3, where it was tight, but Freedom pulled out
the victory thanks to clive, who seems to be their starplayer.

Second map was DM2, and it sure was tight, when it was 2.5minutes
left of the map, Freedom was in the lead with 26frags. CMT
took over the map, and Freedom started slowspawning, and hiding.
But Jenna15, our nasty and hiv-whore sniffed their penises
and were able to get frags, and cmt won with six frags.
I would like to quote flintheart again:
"dm2 ?r tr?kig, vi vinner ju bara d?r" (c) flintheart
(dm2 sux, all we do is win there) well yes, we can see that.

Now, when I was writing this report, I noticed that they played DM3 twice.
And I've seen you already noticed it, since you brought it up in the games comment.
Anyhow, I smelled something 'wrong' about this, because there should've been third map
as a decider. And I found this line in the rules.
"If a decider is needed and the first two maps wasn't the same, the third map will be the map that hasn't been played."
But now, there was no third map played. How come they played DM3 again?
And WHY the hell did the admins confirm the game when it broke the rules?
I checked it up with c and znappe in Team Freedom, and they tell me that
they said they didn't want to play E1M2, and cmt accepted that. So they
played DM3 again.

Team Freedom tells me they thinking of demanding a rematch. I mean, ofcourse
we all break the rules sometimes. But This is rather the admins fault to accept
this. This is h!o!t drama and I'm just dying to see where this is going.
(I can translate this for those who wants, but come see me in #triada)

[-02:45.18-] <@c_> s?h?r nu vet jag
[-02:45.25-] <@c_> skriv att vi ?verv?ger senare p? s?songen
[-02:45.31-] <@c_> om vi ska l?mna in en protest n?r vi vet n?rmare om det beh?vs
[-02:45.37-] <@c_> dom po?ngen f?r o vinna div 3

We'll have to see where this is going.

But in NQR5, 4k and eq even agreed on playing e2m2, and that wasn't allowed in
the playoffs. Maybe even EQL rules are made to be broken? I think they should
change the rules, and make the players decide which map is going to be played
for decider, afterall, it's the teams that plays the maps, I think they should
have the freedom to pick maps from the map pool as decider.

The second DM3 cmt won, with eleven frags.

Score: clan metally troopers 2 - 1 Team Freedom



Fourth game:

Brutality vs. Compot.
Brutality is a new dutch team, and they seem to handle things
quite well. they won DM3 quite easy. Compot is also a new team,
a russian one, they seem to know how to play quake, but
there was lack of teamplay. I hope they manage to get some tp
and show us some real nice games.

Second map, DM2, Brutality got first quad, but oase brutality bored. Brutality managed to keep control over tele after oase brutaly took second quad, and kept it that way. Purity managed to get the last quad, got
nine frags and he got 101 frags total!
Brutality brutaly owned Compot on dm2. Way to go both teams,
ggs!

Score: Brutality 2 - 0 Compot



Fifth Game:

The last game played this week was Apocalypse 2006 vs. Ax3.
There was no Hagge here, sadly, but one of their new h!o!t
players showed up a great fight, namely springs. They
played well on DM2, and won, with tGM in the top.

The second map was DM3, and here springs realy
showed his skills. He jumped, he dived, he ran,
he died, he fell, he got armors but mostly he just got frags.
It would be awesome to see Hagge AND springs playing
at the same time. Though Hagge is quite inactive, I think
they can get him to play some more. Ax3 is good, spokz
can sure manouver his team as he wants, but it wasn't enough
this time.

Score: Apocalypse 2006 2 - 0 Ax3.

This is my first report, I would like to get some replies on it, what I can do better, worse etc.
I hope you will enjoy reading it, and keep up the playing!

Over and out!

Division 3 preview

2006-01-09 01:09

Division 3 preview.



So, I have been assigned division 3 of European Quake League 2.
I will try and do my best, and if you want to confront me
about anything I have said, just give me a pm. Good luck in div3!


I have tried to be as fair as possible, including present
seasons, players, new players and the teamplay skill
of the team.



Shadow Minions

SM basicly have the same team as last season, they have
left one player behind. It's a strong team which, if they
had played all their games in eql1, could have won
div3 in eql1. I think they have a good shot to
be in the top this season aswell.

mm and mooseman are SM's starplayers, and they can take SM far.

My guess of Division place: top 3.



Clan Metally Troopers

I had big hopes on CMT in eql1 but they disappointed me.
I think they were kinda disappointed themselves, but
I know CMT has got the winning spirit. All they need
is to control their teamplay and they can place themselves
high in the division. They have got a new lineup for this
season and if they could manage to play good with eachother
they could be dangerous.


CMT has lost their former starplayer Joulukuu, and Jere left
but instead they got Jenna15 from qandrade and medar which is h!o!t.
I hope they played enough with eachother to become a threat to
the rest of the clans. gl to mipa and his crew.


My guess of Division place: Divisions middle.



PsychoHaloons Crew

PsychoHaloons Crew didn't manage that well in the last
season. A polish team that are very busy in the nqr-ladder.
They have what it takes but they need to practice more.
I think Psycho can make the gibs if they
gets a hold on their teamplay.

budziorre can glow if he gets his hands on
rl and armor. I think he's PHC's
starplayer and he can win them a few games.

My guess of Division place: Divisions middle.



NoName

NoName played in division four last season.
They won the division pretty ez. So they
got promoted to division three and more
skilled opponents. NoName has a strong
team and it will be fun to see how
NoName manage in a more skilled division
then they are used to.

Their team is strong, with prow, bloody,
ilf and armadon in the top.

My guess of Division place: Divisions middle.


Bad Luck Troopers

BLT is an old team with a new linup.
They have been inactive for a while
but now they have got some active players
to take care of the clan. They won
div3 in NQR 8, so I guess they
can win a few games in EQL2.

Havn't checked their tp-skill yet, but
I guess they lack tp-skill since they've
been inactive.

My guess of Division place: Divisions lower.

Veterans

Veterans played in div2 last season.
They are a good team, perhaps the
favorites in div3. I think their
place in eql1 is kind of a
disappointment to them, I know they
could do better. Veterans is a skilled team,
and they get the chance to play vs less
skilled teams than the last season. I think
they will draw an advantage to have got
good practice against div2-teams and they
will be ready to kick ass in div3.

Ake Vader is realy hot now and
with him he has got speed, mille
and its for real. They can cause
some damage to the rest of the teams.

My guess of Division place: Top 3


Compot

Compot is a new? russian team.
I have never seen them before
They didn't play in last eql
nor they have played in the nqr-ladder.
I wish I could write anything
that could give away their status
but I am completely blind here.

My guess of Division place: Divisions lower.


Ax3

Ax3 with spokz from D2, fluff/verth from DOS
and borch from PHC. Ax3 was inactive last season
but they became active again when the polish
players decided to bring Ax3 back to life.
Ax3 have a good shot in div3, since they are very
active and they play good with eachother.
I'm looking forward to see how it goes for our
polish friends.

spokz can starplay when it's needed
and I think he can lead them to victory.

My guess of Division place: Divisions middle.



Apocalypse 2006

Apocalypse 2006, known as 2005 last year,
has a good lineup. They lost chad
since he went to the US.
a2k(6) can perform realy good and I
hope they can keep active and give
us some good games in division 3,
cause I know they can.

Chad left, and that strikes the
team hard, but with hagge in the
linup they can do good. He has
backup from Willgurht and the
newcomer springs who played in
boefje before. springs and hagge
can show us skill. They
have a good teamplay and I am
sure they will show us that.

My guess of Division place: top 3


fun?


fun is a hot polish team.
They came third in the last eql
and I think they have plans on staying
in the top. It would be awesome
to see them become a bit more active
so they could kick ass some more.
The polish teams realy starting to
catch attention. I think fun
can make a great season and win
a alot of games.

Kat is starplayer, and when is
playing, I think the other teams
should watch their back.

My guess of Division place: Divisions middle.


Team Freedom

Team Freedom played in div1 last
NQR season. Then they went inactive.
They have a half new lineup.
Team Freedom has the potential
to become skilled once more
and perhaps can go div1 once again
but they need to become active first.
They are rusty now, but I learned to
never underestimate teams. Freedom
can win if they just spend some time
on qw. I hope they do.

the former cmf player past has joined,
and ovrd which played in ClanBE last
eql has joined too. c, flintheart,
sweeper and crock are dangerous,
and they can starplay.

My guess of Division place: Divisions lower.


Brutality

Brutality is a new dutch team
created in early december last year.
They players in Brutality
have been inactive a while.
They arn't as active as they
want to be, and that is a
disadvantage against the rest of the
clans in the div.

Purity will lead them to victory
along with vleesch on his side.
If they can develope a good tp
they will be hot.

My guess of Division place: Divisions lower/middle


I will continue write news during the season
