He will show up. And I even saw him taking away a map from Cooller -> online with a ping of 100. He is actually not that bad. But no chance imo to get out of that group :/

you initally made it sound like reaching top3 at dreamhack is a walk in the park for anyone half decent... you have to consider that with killsen not being a top seed he'll already have a hard time in the first round of the playoffs.

i'm not saying he'll win dh, just that i dislike the apparent killsen hate on esr :) just look at the recent demos vs avek, the guy is a beast!

if he doesn't win his group (as in: beats cypher) he's almost guaranteed to meet cooller next. i'd argue that there are easier roads to the final then getting cypher in groups and cooller in playoffs first round!?

edit: looking at the qf setup he'd probably have to play cypher in groups/ cooller in qf/ avek in semis/ rapha in finals to win dh.

and if he does win his group?

Also, if k1llsen would be in the top seeds either rapha/cooller/cypher/av3k would be a high seed, so basically he'd end up having someone in his group he definitely can lose to either way except maybe if he drew dahang.

i have to drop some tears, because k1llsen has the only grp with 2 players who accomplished top in ql.
big joke, since strenx didnt accomplish anything on lan, spartie should be in his grp next to av3k.

btw lol @ dahang/rapha in grp stages. i really cant stand that duel anymore.

if guard kicks coollers ass in grp stages, ill transfer 200 euros to his bank account.

Strenx lost pretty close to cypher, cooller and av3k on lan, so I wouldn't call that nothing. He is good enough to bet those players.

It's not about winning one lan, it is about winning the most recent lan and performing the best of all players online most recently. Past performances are pretty irrelevant.

Yeah it doesn't ;) I agree with the seeding I just think no one would blame them if they would change avek with k1llsen and spartie with dahang. K1llsen beat avek twice both on lan and online lately and spartie had better results at gamescom and quakecon than dahang (could be wrong?). Nonetheless imo the seedings are ok.

I don't get 2 things. Shouldn't Spart1e be in the high seed instead of strenx/stermy or something? I think Spart1e have had better results... or maybe i'm wrong?

AFAIK you're wrong about spart1e he hasn't performed very well after gamescom 2009.

he was eliminated in groupstage of IEM european championship, strenx/stermy both went through to the playoffs. strenx finished higher than spart1e at dreamhack summer, stermy finished higher than spart1e at quakecon etc. it's totally justified to put him in mid seeds.

also, I don't really know how far guard got in IEM 4 but noctis went to the european championships + guard was eliminated in groupstages at dreamhack summer 2010 while noctis went through to the playoffs.

With lan presure (bad sound, LCD) I drop lot of my conficence , what I got in home and in Qauke, even LITTLE MEAN MUCH!

Before last DH I was playing good online too, but I didn't pass groups (I had close games to skilled players and won dem0n). So in this group I think I will have 3 losses. Still it's fun and I don't care.

no it's not a feeling you liar, you're watching everybody's accounts for practice results

And that's pretty sad, both that you always follow accounts and the fact that Cooller isn't performing, unless he's just trying stuff out of.

that's not a good criteria at all.

If you follow it closely then the best gamer ever is a guy who won a million dollars cash playing MLG. Then comes sc players, some random games (hl2dm and lots of other mini contests), cs, etc.

the other thing is cpl didn't pay those prizes, so in this criteria it just doesn't count and voo falls behind to even cooller.

obv this is not a serious post.

also you can say thresh is the very best, which coincidentally happen to be true both in money and skills, while developing and promoting fast paced fps games..

Fazz was the better player for a long time but guard has been stepping it up, and bar some very recent results (and they even might be in Guard's favor, I don't know) I'd say he's the stronger player.

Not sure why people are bitching over p0ni (or any relatively new player). He won the qualifier, he deserves to come and play. Bashing him because he's not cooller or rapha isn't really the smartest thing to do.

Surely the chances to win are thin, but give these people some motivation.
