Division 5 is over

2006-03-08 15:29

So, I guess that's it. Division five group games are finished...
We have all played and watched exciting games that made som of us scream out loud.
The battle between Clan Cube Squad and Oldones on winning division 5 all came down to the game Suddendeath.Project vs Oldones, where Clan Cube Squad was 2 points ahead of Oldones.

Suddendeath.Project chose dm3 and got an arse-kicking loss there(should have seen Oldones secret tactics coming there).
As the time came for the second map, more specs joined and changed their nicks(funny enough) to "go go sd.p". I suspect nimfo and engineer from CCS.
Thanks to their support we won E1M2 which was Oldones map.
Now, the last map was cmt4(where more funny specs joined) which I think both teams preferred since we have played equal on that map several times(or atleast 2). Suddendeath.Project controlled the map for the bigger half of the game but somewhere around 6:00 Hoder flyes over my shoulders and steals the pent, this is so awesome I will have to make an .avi of it :)
Despite the pent-steal we managed to keep the map somewhat safe, until Oldones started stealing quads and shafting our rls to death. The frags just kept on coming for Oldones and before we knew it, they were in a lead of 15 frags or so. I got the last quad and had 200/200 rl
but neither mli, knast, hoder or Jambba was to be found. All we got was a few frags but slowspawning helped Oldones so they won by 10 frags! Short to say, it was ggs.
And by this, we congratulate Clan Cube Squad on winning division 5!

In the bottom of division 5 we have been waiting for Looser Squadrun2 to win a game, or even a map. Sadly enough this did not happen, ls2 ends up on the 9th place.
Just above ls2 is SamoJedit, what caused them to end up this low is probably inactivity.

Shadow death, this team surprised us and stole a map thanks to sneaky moves by M4r1n3.
They even won against The Gibbers, I hope to see shadow death fighting for it in eql3 because I know they can if they want to.

The Gibbers hasn't been too active either, but I dare to say that they will be top4 next season.
More pracs and they will go further than 6th place.

Vitun Kova Bosse, what happened? haven't seen them play for ages, and this makes me sad because playing vs VKB is always fun. Well, I hope VKB will be aiming for top4 next season. 5h place for Vitun Kova Bosse :F

Suddendeath.Project has played alot this season and finished quite well even though we've only played one season together, I couldn't be more satisfied by the 4th place we got.
The competition was good and better than us.

J?garna has dropped their keyplayers xero, eggarf and und to wunderbar, this is not good for next season but they will probably fight as long as Eipert, Frasse and Edvin is around.
3rd place for a dangerous J?garna that surprised everyone by winning against CCS in the middle of the season.

Oldones, praccing all day long and trying to learn this mm3-stuff. they finished 2nd by bout 500 frags... This was a tough season but Oldones has been playing well all matches and I know they might do the same in div4, if they get there :O

Clan Cube Squad, CONGRATULATIONS! they won division 5 and they sure deserved it, I know these guys are good after seeing them rape div4-clans(not gonna mention what clans).
I expect these guys in div4 and hopefully win there too.

Interview with xer0

2006-01-19 23:45

Tell me a little about yourself; real name, age, nationality,
what do you enjoy doing on your spare time?
My name is M?rten, im 19 years old (systembolaget in some weeks) and live in Sweden.
On my spare time i like to watch movies, play qw and get drunk

How long have you been playing quakeworld?
Think i started around 98 when a friend called me (hollow) and told me he got a new awesome game.
Then i started play vs frogbots all day long.
After some time i created a clan with an IRC friend (Bozzy) and we played around 10 minutes then everyone dropped :P

How is your setup?(qw-client, mouse, mousepad?)
Played with fuhquake for some years now. Got a razer diamondback and a Qpad.

We all want to know, what is the key behind J?garna's succes this season?
Well, we prac more often now and our individual skills have becomed better, got some more members like Edvin and Iffy.
Eggarf is active again etc. Think we got better TP now aswell.

Do you usually whine alot during games or do you belong to the
quiet ones who just keep playing and have a fun time whatever the
outcome?
Depends if i had a good day or not hehe. Before i never whined and just enjoyed the game but nowadays i whine pretty much, yes.
Excuse me everyone i whined on :o

How is the competition in div5?
There is some good clans like CCS,Oldones, SD P, the other clans i dont know much about.
Dont think div5 is very active so often you have to play div 3-4 clans if u want to play and therefore its not so easy to know how the other div5 clans are.

This season we are playing cmt3 and cmt4 as well, good? bad?
Think its pretty good, not always u want to play tb3 maps.
Maybe qw needs some more maps to stay alive? Cant say i like CMT3 much though :)

What is your favourite gameplay in qw?(1on1 2on2 4on4 ffa?)
I like 2on2@dm2 most. 4on4 is very fun aswell when you got good teamplay and play equal teams.
Really hate 1on1 and almost never plays it.

What is the greatest moment in your qw career?
Hmm, cant remember anything specific. Think the time when i played in SD and we were as most active was a really fun time
with praccing all nights long and whining on vent :)

Do you have any favourite clan/player of all time?
Always liked GTG, nice players and nice attitude.
Favorite players, nr1 is ofc Hagge \o/ Then i like Griffin because he is a really good dm2 player.
Lakerman was my favorite in the beginning, couldnt stop watch lakkandm2.qwd :)

Have you ever used "movement-scripts" or such?
No, dont like scripts. More fun to train them until u can do them by yourself without any scripts.

What is your opinion on them?
Think they should be forbidden in all leagues etc.
Not so fun if you have trained a specific move for some time and when you finally can do it a friends joins and press the x button
and do it even better without ever trained on it before :(

Now some quick ones;

rl or shaft?
rl

id1 or kenya?
id1

speccing div1-games or playing div5-games?
depends on what div1 teams playing, but i say playing div5 games

fallbunny on or fallbunny off?
Fallbunny off

toast or fullgrain?
toast

airgib or quadrun?
quadrun

excersise or prac with hb?
Both, but usually i end up pracing with hb :)

coke or pepsi?
pepsi

Prince or Micheal Jacksson?
Michael Jackson

playstation or Xbox?
playstation

Dog or Cat?
Dog

gaz or sassa?(commentators)
sassa

Euro or SEK?
SEK

(sassa wanted to know)Hoppa Huvve or Trixxa me mig ollen svin?
Dont really know what the second one means but trixxa with a olla sounds fun

Well thank you for your time and gl in the future

thank you, good luck with SD P :-)

division 5

2006-01-10 01:17

So, the last division, division 5. Lets take a look at the clans participating this seaseon shall we.
I would first like to say that division 5 has often been underestimated, but this season will be active and filled with action :)

To give a view of div5 first I will say that the most active clans will probably win this season, those being ccs, vkb, -oo- or sd.p
From t.g and JeDi I haven't seen a single prac or ladder, only reason why I don't believe in those teams. Misters a newly started clan with players like JSS and En3my could be dangerous.
J?garna has got a new recruit whom I've never seen before, who is this mysterious und? He might take them higher on the list.
shadow death and Loser Squadrun 2 I don't have so much faith in, shadow death I have only seen playing once and Loser Squadrun, sad to say, never.
Now division 5 can enjoy the sweet maps cmt3 and cmt4 aswell, hopefully this will lead to more unexpected wins and tight games.

Clan Cube Squad, I must say, this team is very active and might just take it all with nimfo in the lead.
These guys never give up and always say yes to pracs. They know cmt4 and cmt3 well so they have a big chance to win.
Strength: know all maps well, good tp.
Weakness: few
My tip: top 3

Suddendeath.project, the clan I'm in. Trying to get 4 players every day and searching pracs. We were very lucky to find good teamplayers
and at the same time having some time to prac before eql2.
Strength: all new players
Weakness: teamplay
My typ: middle section

Oldones, now these guys have been here a long time and they sure know where to stand. At the top of the list. I'd say their keyplayer is old, he knows how to
turn the map back and win at the very last minute. What I'm expecting to see from this team are nice dm3-games and lots of frags. Look out for Oldones.
Strength: players old and hoder, dm3
Weakness: cmt-maps
My tip: top 3

J?garna, as I said, who is this und fellow? I think J?garna can place themselves higher than last eql now that they are being more active and I heard they have taken on csn and won.
Now, not to be rude but these guys used to get wipped all matches, now I think they have seen the turning point and starting to play active, J?garna is a real threat to clans thinking to high of themselves.
Strength: players und and eggarf
Weakness: reputation
My tip: middle section

MisteRs, what to say? well I think these guys can play good and win some matches. Although they haven't played enough. They need more pracs, that or they already are mysterious winners right now :o
Even if they have good players, other clans know their tp better. I'm only speculating, this team might even crush the whole division.
Strength: players
Weakness: few games played
My tip: middle section

Loser Squadrun 2, led by link, oldschool player I'd say. I haven't seen this team play at all so I wouldn't be surprised to see them playing only 3-4 games this season. This team needs more devotion and more pracs.
Strength: Team leader link
Weakness: few games played
My tip: bottom section

shadow death, well, these guys has really gone far with their leet nicks. But to comment on their gameplay I have to say that they need more practice. All I've seen them do so far is run around on dm3 like crazy ants.
Still, I know very little about this team, but I don't dare give them too much hope since they have no familiar players on their line-up.
Strenght: willing to play
Weakness: gameplay and map knowledge
My tip: bottom section

The Gibbers, these guys played last eql but they didn't come high on the scoreboard. Sadly to say, clan-starter zerkki has disappeared from their lineup, the question how they will perfrom without him will be answered this season. Even when they took in div3 players they did not win too much. Doesn't seem to serious anymore in The Gibbers.
Strength: teamplay
Weakness: devotion
My tip: bottom section

Vitun Kova Bosse, now I know these guys have a big chance of winning. Their teamleader Jukka gives it all to win a game and he makes a good leader. When playing vkb I noticed they have a very good way of taking maps back in control. They never loose it
Strength: teamplay and players
Weakness: active members
My tip: top 3

SamoJedit, finnish clan Jedi always make me go: "What?!" They really know how to play, it's a shame I haven't seen them play anything since november last year. Maybe this will place them lower than what I first expected. Now that they lost their first eql-game they might start playing more(I really hope so). I don't know how well they know the cmt-maps but they will have to show it this season.
Strength: players and dm-maps
Weaknes: activity
My tip: middle section

This concludes my division 5 overview, if I don't get strangled I will return with more updates on division 5.
