He was taking a well earned rest at this point, but it seemed the recent flight back from Dallas had affected a fair few of the players and managers alike...

A little piece of me thought this might have been his tournament, but his curse (losing to 2GD) struck again and then playing terribly he lost to k1ller as well. 3rd is not going to make him happy.
Edited by ReDeYe at 04:07 CDT, 17 August 2006 - 2881 Hits
Me, Carmac, Garpys brother, r2k's brother and Zaccubus were the entire spectator list. Oh and James from atr of course as a manager.

He played well but erratic, maybe it has something to do with him stopping Q4 very soon and concentrating on Real Life™.

Another year and another Qcon gallery. This years gallery is a little smaller than normal as I didnt take as many pics this time round. This was mainly due to having two roles at the event, both for iTG and working for a TV company on a documentary at the same time.
Never the less, I thought it would be nice if I at least put up these shots.

Grapevine last year was kinda in the middle of nowhere, so the downtown area of Dallas being close by this time, made things a lot easier for everyone to get out and have some fun.

Possibly, the most popular booth all weekend was the Activision booth. The fact they had 12 machines playing the soon to be released ET:Quake Wars certainly helped...

The Bring Your Own Computer area is always a crazy sight at quakecon and although there were less seats this year, it was still the craziest area of the whole event.

Simply put, Tox was on fire at quakecon and never lost a single map, either in the 2v2 (with Ztrider) or in the 1v1 and went home with a healthy bank balance.

Out of about 3000 people, Rafik's name was randomly pulled out of the hat to play in the "mystery 1v1 shootout" from Nvidia for $1000.
To make matters worse, he not only took the $1000, but the $4000 in the final. Despite having a bad weekend in the tournament, he still earnt more cash than he has all year...

He might be laughing, but the 1v1 didnt go as well as in previous tournaments. His 2v2 partnership with destrukt however, at least took down the FPO duo of Fatal1ty and Stermy.
