did he have to go up on stage and accept it?

I would if it made me couple thousands of dollars.

"I would just like to point out, I got a trip to Korea and 500 bucks for hitting that rail, fat got his own soundcard for his victory over me ;)"

yeah i kind of figured that, but sticking strictly to the game then i'd consider it payback :p

Fair enough, like I said... he damn well earned that win. Especially adapting so fast after me rolling him on the first map.

oh cha0

oh freak !

Very nice write up, well as always.

Jared, I would really like to see you winning some major event. You have never lost a game withouth honor. And even if You had a little bit of a bad luck (like vs LeXeR), You've always faced it with dignity and you remained quite optimistic. Beside that, You have such a great atitude to gaming, people and scene. I'm not Your fanboy :) but in my opinion you really deserve to finally have a big, big triumph in esports. You're always ending up placing like 2-3-4-5 (just like fox :)) but still people belive in You. Go go go man, You can do it! :-)

Just a free thoughts.

Wow my fooKi bum love has nothing on this.

I love fox, and only him. Well maybe ZeRo4 and Z4muZ also, but i haven't heard much of them

GO FOX!

Yeah MANGE FTW!

Please don't discourage my fan =P

<3

Are you going to get a chance to do a big bootcamp for ESWC/CPL Summer or do you have to work?

I will not be able to bootcamp before ESWC but will be putting in just as much practice as I did for WSVG Lanwar. If it's enough to place top3, so be it. I will not be attending Summer CPL as there's just no chance I'll have anywhere near enough time to learn three new maps in less than two weeks on my current schedule.

There's really no words to describe how frustrating it will be to miss that event, but that's sort of where my life is right now so I'll just have to deal. I hope we see a surge in gaming in the coming year and my decisions of how far I want to take playing will be much easier to make ;)

Nice writeup man!

If you pick up some interesting vibes from the "industry" and/or community on your way to your decision, it would be awesome if you do a prediction article on how competative quake-styled fps gaming will develop in the near future. I find trying to peer, if only just, 2-3 years into the future damn near impossibly hard, so it would cool with articles of that sort, especially from a professional or at least semi-professional perspective :]

:(
Well, good luck :D

Something worth pointing out is that he manages to keep playing at that level despite working long weeks. Big props for that !

bah, it is somewhat frustrating how endorsed certain gamers are in comparison with others who compete at the same level.. Oh well, if it is any consolation I would have given you a small island for that rail shot at wcg.. One of the Maldives perhaps.

Rumor has it, when it's dark outside and the wind isn't blowing. you can hear cha0ticz cries from a distance. Eerie, but true.

chaoticz:

for those who werent able to see the game, it would be great to release the demo (if available). kinda frustrating that all these great games that happened at lanwar will eventually just be foggy memories because of the lack of demos.
