my prostate can't take much more of this shit!

ZSX(speaking louder) + Joe/Dahang (if he gets knocked out early) should shoutcast

or 2GD + Joe if they are there and willing.

Ischju needs to not stumble on his words. ZSX says exactly what iscjhu wants to say except says it clearly without any mistakes (stuttering/wrong words) which makes ischju obsolete.

However ischju is very enthusiastic and vibrant, which wins vs ZSX, but because he stumbles on phrases and words, by the time he finishes describing some amazing play, its been 20 seconds past that particular play and something else amazing has already happened, and he misses it.

Which makes him a terrible caster for quake.

I have to admit that towards the end my performance was really bad. I do agree on that part. You have to see that we have been here the entire day and I have never interviewed so many people, nor have I casted so much Quake in an entire day before. I was tired as fuck. I was really trying to keep myself awake in the end.

I don't necessarily stutter but sometimes I have problems finishing my thoughts because I get caught in what's happening on screen. I've talked with 2GD about that. I will work on that I have to find a better better balance between shutting up and letting other people say something. But it is really nice to have someone co-cast with you because it just gives you way more to discuss about and it nicer to listen to as it does not feel like some awkward monologue.

Also: This is my first time doing this. EVER. I have been doing this for like 6 months now (casting duel) in general. I have still a lot to learn but with the ability to talk to the pros and zsx at my side I am pretty sure that we will can continue this awesome event.

Stay tuned for some more action.

You did a great job issue. People underestimate shoutcasting. Especially when you have to do it for so long without any preparation. I could notice you had trouble interviewing the players, but thats mainly because you had no information about their played games.

I think 2 shoutcasters is always better. You and zsx really rocked.

anyway, well done!

I think you've been doing really well man. Everyone gets compared to 2GD which is unfair, as we can't all be that fucking awesome, but your enthusiasm also shines through which is good enough for me.

Please don't put Strenx back on cast, god he was annoying in the K1llsen vs Cypher match

If by "playing like shit" you mean in the best form we've seen him in Quake Live (air rockets, 70% rail, 40% LG) and a confirmation from cooller himself that he is playing at his peak (as he tells strenx) then yes, he will play like shit.

ATTENTION LEVEL UP TV

Absolutely amazing. It's ridiculous that this is your first live event at a tournament, and it's been this awesome. Other people have tried, and have "done" it, but you've actually shown everyone what streaming at a LAN event SHOULD be like.

Having TV1 and TV2 is fantastic, as well as having LQ and HQ. This pretty much satisfies everyone on any internet connection.

The quality of the stream has been amazing. Zero hiccups, zero problems, and great quality.

Let me make this clear. ZERO problems. Oh, Quake Live was down? You guys filled the stream with some friendly and entertaining people, connected with the community, entertained them, answered their questions, did interviews, and a lot more. I never saw your logo sitting there filling time. Not once. You provided content constantly, for many many hours.

The casters? Very nice. The casters KNOW Quake, the casters are exciting, and the casters are comfortable to listen to. No bullshit, no immature people trying to be funny, no garbage. It was Quake and it was awesome.

The reason I went this in-depth, is because FINALLY someone has done it right. I give kudos to people like DJ Wheat, he does a great job doing SC for MLG too, and has done great for events like Quakecon too.

Basically, casters? PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. All you people trying to cast and stream? Level UP TV is your teacher, sit there and be the student. They've done a ridiculously amazing job, easily the best I've ever seen. When people watch a Quake stream, they want Quake content, and that's it. The second you cast Quake games and try to make jokes by saying cringe worthy internet phrases (herp derp, "cool story bro", etc) you've instantly lost credibility, and are probably being muted by many people. Don't satisfy the LOWEST FORM OF INTERNET USERS with channing memes and unfunny bullshit. It's not funny. We're not here to laugh. We're here to be comfortable and watch Quake.

These casters KNOW Quake too. They aren't casual players that haven't touched competitive duel, these are players that know their stuff, and can GIVE insight. Many, many casters out there don't know Quake, and the casting suffers. If all you can provide your viewers are terrible one-liners and only giving them information about what we all see "He's going to rockets, nice rail, he's going to mega, etc", then what's the point of watching? Casters are there for insight, not an audio version of what is visually happening. "He took mega". Yeah, I know, I just watched him do it. If you can't give any insight, don't even try. A fancy voice and giving viewers no insight is waste of time and talent. "Wow, he missed three rails in a row, what's wrong with him". What are you expecting? ABSOLUTE PERFECTION FROM PROS? It's painfully obvious when casters have not played at a competitive level, because they act shocked and disgusted when a pro misses three rails in a row. Example? Quake Live TV casting the 2v2 tournament a few days ago. It was ridiculous to sit there and listen to casters moan and groan about players missing shotgun shots. Do professional basketball players always hit three pointers? No, they don't, so don't expect the Quake players to be hitting 60% rail all the time. It's time like that when you need to be respectful to the players, not mock them or act like they're terrible. When 2GD says a player made a bad decision, he probably did. He's 2GD. He was top 8 in the world for Quake 4, and overall a great player. He knows competitive Quake, he's played at the high level. If you're casting and don't have that experience, don't tell your viewers when a bad decision is made, because you probably can't see or understand the bigger picture of what that player is doing. Just because he's not at MH when it spawns, doesn't mean he FORGOT the timing of the item. Don't assume a player is playing stupid, ever. Top players have a plan during games of what's to happen. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

Basically, if anyone wants to know the "right" way to cast an event, it's Level UP TV. No watching a logo for hours, no streams constantly being disconnected and reconnected, no terrible casting, no bullshit.

I'm happy I've seen the light. Good coverage IS possible, and you've proven it. I'll be definitely donating some money to you guys as soon as I can.

Can't wait for day two and three. You guys fucking rock.

EDIT: Oh, and VODS are up the SAME DAY? http://www.own3d.tv/lvlup#/watch/42399
Un-fucking believable. You're getting double what I was originally going to donate.

Such a nice tournament and I can even bet on these at XLBet for real money. Well, at the moment it is just for the first map's score instead of results and it seems they have some fairly harsh rules for actually getting any winnings out of there but it's still possible if you win enough. And I like the idea, been waiting for years to be able to do it.

I'm completely unrelated to the site, just like watching QL & betting and hope they keep doing it in the future. :P

yes coverage is great.

I'm mentioning the in-game sounds coz they are rly important in understanding why a player is making certain decisions etc. And to be able to hear everything a player hears the casters get way way to loud.

+ some kind of echo or "hall" effect is present with in-game sounds.

look at the bright side. He can get it over with and enjoy the last two games.
At least as long as k1llsen doesn't go gamescom mode.
And as long as spartie doesn't have one of his good days.

Cooler go go go!

I hope he will play at his peak and a have a more luck than yesterday

group stage:
cooller vs dahang 2:0
cooller vs voo 2:0
cooller vs stermy 2:1

I only hope he won't meet cypher too early.

Wow killsen. Should have lost aerowalk. Biggest idiot in the game. Without rail he is easily the worst player. No creativity. No interesting moves. Absolutely no balls to make a play.

yeah he absolutely doesnt know, but you do :D
i think the main problem on aero imho was that he wanted to slow the match down and expected to do enough dmg with rail to get back sooner or later, but he was caught of guard by how strong spart1es attack were. if he would have pushed for some major items he might have given up some frags faster but would probably have ended up with control again sometime

You don't have to defend him. The last 4-5 min was really bad played. Instead of running away and trying to get the rail he should have tried to get a synced item. It was the same vs cooller on t7 yesterday. Cooller predicted him so well because k1llsen is to fixed on his rg.

such fucking fantastic casting today, just so solid. This rivals 2gd/joe (minus the humor) but its really good. I'll have to donate something, perfect stream + this casting + great quake = super win.

Noctits mistakes make rapha rage. He forgot mega time so he went to YA and rapha ran into him like 'wtf brah? mega is spawning for you!' and died then noctis got mega lol.

Hate to rain on your parade, but you aren't coming up with any revolutionary insight that no one else has by saying that.

It's like watching Muhammad Ali dominate ever other boxer in a tournament and then picking him to win saying, "You can quote me." Well no duh! The obvious pick is cypher.

If you were to say "p0ni is going to win" and then said "quote me" then I would give you some credit.

strenx is such a bad caster, plz get him off. he thinks he is funny, but he is not. beeing a good player does not mean to be a good caster.

It also seems that strenx talks down everything what killsen does and cheers everything what cypher does. Personal shit. Rivalry can be interesting though, like cooller/rapha, but they just have more quality than strenx.

i'm really enjoying strenxs casting, he gets so excited! and he actually comments on whats happening NOW! not what happened ten minutes ago.

i'm not a big fan of this "analytical style" casters are trying to adopt, its so annoying when something really exciting is happening on screen and they are still talking about quake philosophy! it's a bit like watching a football match and listening to the commentators nonchalantly discussing a refereeing decision, while someone has just scored a winning goal and they completely ignore it.

wtf?

all I heard from strenx was "nice rail by k1llsen" combined with bullshit catchphrases that arent funny or stuff like "remember how cypher played against cooller at Qcon on aerowalk" during a ztn game.

strenx just wants to find his image in the quake scene as "the funny clown", but fails miserably.

edit:

remember on ztn when k1llsen was aiming from teleporter exit to RA in order to shoot a rocket when cypher would RJ up to RA?
cypher did this awesome unexpected RJ towards k1llsen and totally surprised him. well, guess what happened on stream: they talked about some nonsense nobody wants to hear and completely ignored it.

totally agree, strenx has no quality. you could tie a chimp to a chair, give him some xtc bananas, but I guess it's cheaper to get strenx.

But honestly, refering to kRoNic: being analytical does not mean, you can't get excited. Take djwheat for example, he masters both. And for me, the levelup casters do a really good job. of course there is room for improvement, but it is far beyond boring.

ye i think its fine to be analytical but when something exciting is happening i think you should put your theories to one side. i'm just thinking specifically of spartie vs cypher on aero, cypher had a 10-0 lead and spartie brings it back to 10-8 and during the entire comeback issue(?) was going off on a tangent for the entire time.

Didn't see a wheat cast for looooong time. But back in those days, I loved his way of commentating and also his tactical thoughts about the matches. He also provided us with the personalities of the players and their history. The iceclimbers matches he commented where so good.
Maybe I was/still am too newby these days to understand real tactics, but I enjoyed it. Anyway he had no real competitors. Especially not at the painkiller era with "booom waang wooom baaaaang shakalaka" :)

it all depends what you come to see, i come to see the best players play quake and not listen to some eager beaver trying to tell everyone (in great detail) how much he knows about quake.

it just bores me to death listening to these so called "insightful" comments that really arent insightful at all if you have any amount of duel experience.

i'm not saying strenx was brilliant, but for me it was like a breath of fresh air after listening to the previous day of commentating.

What i cant see is how top players are thinking and why they make some of the weird decisions they make. So more analyzing and less stupid comments about what is happenings, thanks.

casters rating of the last 2 days:

vo0: ok-ish outside the game, bad commentating during the game.
Likes to hear himself talk way too much.

garpy: Surprisingly very good, calm and analytical. Being a native speaker helps aswell.

zsx: Also quite good and calm, although insulting other people irl comes across as quite sad (I know he doesn't mean half of it, but still)

ischu: I'm sorry but I can't stand him at all. Talks too much, and about the wrong things. Also during interviews wants to ask the questions AND give the answers himself. Seriously dude stop interrupting people all the time after you ask a question! He can and will probably improve because he casts so much, but right now... :/.

dahang: Also a very good, calm doesn't talk too much or too little. Talks about relevant stuff. Made a great duo with zsx yesterday.

strenx: Trying way too hard , but still young so somewhat understandable.

It's not that they're too analytical. It just skips on a lot of the important action. This is what we've been getting:

"oh my gosh. and that was a... really good... rocket jump from... uhm... cypher"
*meanwhile cypher performs a double backflip rail, tying the score*
"uhm... and now hes got very low hp"

i guess the problem is just in the nature of a fast paced action game.
looks like very hard to divide the visual impressions with the strategic thoughts. i also guess, thats why the "best" commentators are the ones that arent too focused and narrow minded at all, and keep their head open for links to unrelated stuff. so to say in a constant circulation mode.

Also, k1llsen had better rockets there today too, so why complaining.

nothing to do with courage tbh
he's not doing it to tell everyone what he thinks of killsen, he's doing it to release anger (which comes to his mind in his native tongue obviously).

not saying it's the right thing to do, of course

courage was not the best choice of words maybe cause i have to agree a bit, its prolly his natural way to release some anger but thats only one side of the medal and the other side is what i wrote in my post

Strenx casting was awesome. Hillarious and funny! No need to be serious about quake

Yesterday my day was made when strenx beat cooller, and today k1llsen beat cypher.

Cypher got outaimed on every weapon. Especially k1llsen's rl was > cypher's.
Ah and to quote myself

I think k1llsen or strenx can beat him because both can time 2+ items and have a aim which can keep up with cypher's.

the thing on dm13 k1llsen usually times one item, not more. he has a very good sense of when the items spawn without timing them but on some maps you just need to time them by the second and he often he does not. he is also does not use sound clues for timing very well like rapha does for example...
we dont have to agree on anything here, but i have seen enough of k1llsen to say that timing is not a strong point in his game

Well, with yesterdays result I wasn't expecting k1llsen to beat Cypher. I find it interesting that dahang and k1llsen stepped up their games vs the two finalists in the Beat IT tournament. Yesterday I thought Cypher would have an edge in the final over Rapha but his bad/careless performance vs k1llsen today might get to him more than Raphas loss to Dahang will.

They should move av3k / strenx and cooller/stermy to the front of the games, so that they actually play it normally. Since if they do rape the others in their group and it comes down to the last matches with them together, they might actually try to fucking lose on purpose to get dahang/k1llsen instead of rapha/cypher for brackets.

So having them first up would make them actually play for real, with the threat of getting kicked out if they choke on the other group opponents.

How the fuck does he always do this? He routinely comes back from 2-0 in grand finals. He got stomped by cypher yesterday, and today he was playing with a 1 map deficit.

a better solution for DE would be if the guy coming from LB has to win two sets of Bo5, while the one coming from WB only has to win one set of Bo5, both starting at 0-0 ofcourse.

It's fair that cypher gets an advantage coming from WB, but it sucks we get to see fewer maps because of this.

well that actually does get used in other games and stuff
but it seems like kind of a big disadvantage, considering you already had to play more matches in LB, and then still got this long road ahead in grand finals

i dont have a preference personally, both ways seem fine to me

How about making it like tennis, a winning streak of two ends the game?

Let's say there are A from WB, and B from LB.

first a bo5, if A win then A win.
If B win this bo5, then an additional map is played. If B still win, then B win. If A wins, then they play another map.
Then on this map, if A still win then A win; If B win they go on playing another one. ... etc..

The point is that B wins the bo5 so he is equal to A. However, in order to reduce game length and make it more intense, any one wants to win just needs to win two maps straight.

I want ONE big bo5 grand final, even in DE system, the winner of a tournament shouldn't be determined by mathematical details - but by winning the final.

it's way better for the players (less tiring, still kind of fair) but also for the audience (even the casters were disoriented for the whole matchup by cyphers 1 map lead)

Someone loses in group stage theoretically will have a penalty in the playoff (since he may only rank 2nd and need to play 1st in other group). So...
The idea of DE is to give ppl a 2nd chance, so why ppl from WB have to suffer a disadvantage (no 2nd chance)?

I appreciate the effort and all, but ishcju sounds like someone with high-functioning autism who studied how to become a commentator from a textbook. He doesn't sound natural in my opinion.

yeah, he sometimes does that. But then again, his limited phrases may be a result of his limited vocabulary. I'm not saying that this is the only reason, but I'd assume it plays a big role.

I think you can compare it to calipt's casting. He also developed some catch phrases like "he's gonna have such a hard time...", which eventually became annoying and didn't always fit.

To be honest, I think zsx is really a great caster and I can already see that he is performing really well - he is indeed a natural. But not only does he play duel on a very high level but also does have the advantage of being a native speaker.

I have played Quake since 2000; however, I've only recently transitioned from tdm/ctf to duel. The lack of experience that I have in duel makes it sometimes really hard for me to pin point the exact moments were players take great decisions. Yet I"m pretty sure that I'll pwn most of the moaners.

The only thing how can solve this problem is by playing more duel (and I will do so in the future - I have round about played 300 duels in QL). This will not only improvement my analysis but also will make it easier for me to find things talk about.

Also you guys probably cannot estimate how hard it is to actually cast fucking hours and hours with hardly any sleep in between.
This is my first event and I am doing as best as I can but that is obviously not good enough.

Not complaining, just saying where you can improve because it's always easier to judge this as a listener than when you're talking yourself. You're doing a great job nonetheless.

I know that you've been playing quake on a high level for a long time (biberbutzemänner etc). No need to justify yourself as a caster.

you're doing really well today, the first matches you and zsx casted today were amazing. When you cast with garpy for the MSI beat it you screwed up some names and started screwing up some phrases and stuff again though.

Just cast with ZSX after dahang gets tired of it. You + him make a really fantastic pair.

You gotta hear your vod of those games vs your vod of rapha/cypher match and you'll understand your errors after comparing them.

I thought the ischju - zsx/garpy combo was very good. I don't get how people let it bother them even if they don't express the same level of enthusiasm for a particular moment in game, my own senses are quite capable of doing that for me. I can enjoy an OMG moment by saying OMG to myself, I don't need casters to do the OMG for me all the time. Implying that the experience was somehow ruined for them because the casters misunderstood the map order is just baffling. Given how many games are being cast, mistakes like that are to be expected, but why would you let that bother you?

Understand that this is their first tournament and they're obviously going to improve. But if people compare their casting to high-functioning autism I wonder what incentive there is to invest so much of their money and time to cater to us. Anyway I hope they fully ignore the un-warranted criticism, take in the constructive criticism to improve and understand the appreciation people have for their troubles.

I've followed most events since Razer '99, this coverage has certainly been one of the very best. I can only imagine how much work goes on behind the scenes by Trance and co, not to mention the monetary sacrifices, mucho props.

I'm sad that there is such a small amount of really really high skilled players like av3k, strenx, k1llsen, cypher, cooller ,and rapha. You always expect those people in the finals. I would love to see much more good players like in for example SC2. There is a much bigger possibility of seeing an unexpected final I guess (I'm not much into it). So c'mon id do something to increase the playerbase :/

This ZSX and rapha interview is fucking phenomenal. ZSX asks some really nice questions, this guy is doing some work. Rapha saying that he leaves players instead of punishing them on the internet because the moves wouldn't work on lan, is just genius. This makes his practice - really practice for lan, no bad habits.

Rapha's insights are super high tier pro shit, really makes you think.

ex. Cooller rj'd out to top RL on dm13 because he knew vo0 didn't have enough lg ammo to kill him, so he would run out of LG and die to coollers rockets.

That is just 'WTF' casting, and it seems correct!

I think it might be something with losing on purpose. He didnt seem to give a shit at all playing his game vs strenx. But if av3k won it, it means he first of meets rapha in playoffs, now he's playing k1llsen.

I really think he lost on purpose. I mean he tied and his brain went off and he knew if he won he'd play cypher. I bet he's so much better with playing k1lsen instead which whom he 2-0 yesterday.

Thats lame if its actually true but not that you haven't seen it in the past :)

Avek is a fucking tard if he lost on purpose. I hope k1llsen smacks his rail deep into aveks polish hole and rapes him like he did with cypher.

A way around this would be to allow the winner to pick the player he wants to play against - the #1 or the #2 from the other group, that way both players will try to win. But of course that solution has several flaws.

I think something like this had to be sorted before the tournament started, either by choosing the random pairing, or by having matches played at the same time. NOW it is too late to do anything.

They should just go on with the rules. Stermy and Cooller should play, and the lesson should be learn by tournement organizers.

it's not really too late.

they could just flip a coin and make a new SE bracket.
Then all strategy is moot.
And noone could complain really, as they all "tried their best to win".

It is too late because the tournament started. Changing rules while it going it is plain bad. I'd rather accept that there was a mistake in the preparation and suffer the consequences/abuses, than just enter this far west mode with all sort of dumb suggestions and rages.

Nothing should change at all in the rules, there is no proof of any of this so tbh stermy should play or forfeit his whole place in the tourney.

If anything changes then the admins are essentially accusing them of throwing games too and thats unproven and makes them unprofessional

It was apparent both from the behaviour in-game and from avek and cooller's expressions when talking to strenx and the admins (you could see them on stermy's stream). That you're trying to defend the two guys who acted lame, and insulting the guy who played fair even though he said on the stream that it would be better for him to lose says a lot tbh.

my ass. For all we saw, stermy also tried to throw it, cooller only did it better :)

It's all circumstantial and saying it happened one way or the other is just bullshit.

In any case, it's not the point here if someone tried to drop the game. The point is they were given the chance to do it in the first place. That should have been thought over by admins BEFORE releasing the brackets, right now it's pointless they wanna consider changing or randomizing brackets and put whole DH in bad light.

Admins should just stick to it and not change anything at this point. And learn from it in the future how to prevent this. But changing now cause of whine of some players is just crap.

It's just a stupid situation that winning a match puts you in an (arguably) worse position.. even if you're trying to win, you're probably not 100% in it, though.

And btw. there were quite a few moves by stermy on dm13, too, that made rapha on stream go "wtf".

yeah they probably all threw their games after rapha lost to dahang (seriously). the one question i still have is why this "rule" (first of group one plays second of group) isnt abused more, like in the football world cup where germany had to play vs argentina and then vs italy (which was a way harder bracket) then to play england and then brasil if they had lost to ecuador.
the key problem still remains. i havent found a solution to this problem. the only solution you might think of is to play all matches secretly so that no other team of the other groups know the results but thats kinda impossible...
anyone got a clue how to fix the problem of abusing this system?

Every tournament system that creates situations where playing your best (1st in group) puts you into disadvantage (meeting cypher in the quarter finals) is flawed. You can not blame the players.
Easy solution: Double elimination from the start.
Wasn't it Carmac (otherwise awesome dude) who insisted on this group stage horror (OMG its like in soccer!!!!11 so pro11! ). Now it's used in every larger tournament without thinking:/
Thx to Cooller/Avek (and stermy by complaining about it when his own plan did not succeed) to having the balls to show the faultiness of this system in such an obvious undeniable way.

Just wanted to comment on lvlup's coverage so far. You guys are doing such an incredible job this event. Even in the downtime, I've been glued to the computer screen, what with Vo0/2gd and zsx (who is doing amazing as a caster) and rapha (who is also an amazing caster/analyst--very insightful and fun to listen to and learn from) and all the interviews and the constant updates on what's going on in the tournament and with the drama and everything. Just all around an incredible job from you guys. I'm sure I speak for a lot of people here when I say thanks. We really appreciate it.

Now about this drama, it's really, really obvious that av3k threw his match, and that both stermy and cooller were trying to throw theirs, which is why stermy was so mad even though he was winning the games. Cooller was just better at losing on purpose. It's the organizer's fault for putting up the brackets before groups were finished. It's also not against the rules, albeit sort of lame/unsportmanlike. It doesn't matter though, they'll all have to play cypher or rapha at some point if they want to win the tournament. They act like playing dahang or killsen will be a cakewalk, but after beating cypher/rapha in legit games, that's obviously not the case. Anyway, tomorrow should be interesting, and again, thanks to levelup for the awesome coverage!

I hope dahang and killsen both beat cooller and av3k just to show them they were wrong! :) And no doubt they have the ability to. Can't wait for the games.

Did you see his match vs strenx? Kind of obvious he wasn't playing to win. Even the commentators mentioned how differently he was playing that match. And after the match he says "wp" and shakes it off like it's nothing to him, but when he plays smaller, less important online cups and loses a single match he rages. Doesn't make any sense. No way he was really trying to win. And if you saw the stermy stream, it was showing him and cooller laughing it up right behind the admins when they were all talking. And he said he didn't think there was anything wrong with throwing a match. Pretty obvious if you ask me.

Making odd decisions, taking odd risks, taking obviously losing fights. Maybe I'm being paranoid though. But he and cooller sure were acting guilty around the tournament area.

I think the game was silly.

I think both Cooller and Stermy wernt playing "serious".

However, i think the difference is Stermy stopped in the game in order to find a solution and he was also willing to kill Cooller to take the lead in the deciding map.

Cooller won t7 , which only took it back to a draw. He was spamming that bind which i guess was an ironic comment about the situation. Cooller does ofc have a history in this kind of behaviour, which was admitted.

If av3k did throw his game he did in a much smarter way without strenx realising till after the event.

Noone can prove anything even people would have to say Cooller and av3k just had bad games. Afterall Cooller was wound up.

The admins would re-draw the brackets imo, who can object, just av3k and cooller and in doing so they admit guilt. Or another alternative is to make all the second guys play each other first.

Sad thing to happen, hope it never happens again and well done to Rapha and Zsx for staying professional.

Or if he did it didnt get to the point where he was playing weird back.

To put everyone's mind at ease why not go ahead and still do the random draw? Everyone who was featured on the stream suggested and agreed that this would be a good idea.

Why the tourney was announced as using double elimination brackets and it still says so on the official tournament page, but the current schedule obviously implies single elimination playoffs?
If the playoffs were DE, it would not matter THAT much, what players would be put up against whom in the upper bracket, and the whole drama could have been avoided (on the other hand, what can be better than a good healthy drama?).

and wait for next round with "FUCK YEA."-face

agree, alltho i think stermy was laso trying to lose.

tho his try went more along the lines of "ill try to lose, if it doesn'`t work, ill complain to the admins, winwin". which seems to me the lamer option.

he also tried to justify his action with lame excuses, "yeah during the game people were telling me, and then i noticed myself"

the only thing i noticed, was the commentators making more remarks on stermy's weird play.
even tho cooller rocketjumped all around the place... that really isn't that weird of an occurence.

im not trying to argue that cooller wasn't trying to throw the match. just that he's way better at it, since the commentatore were only making comments on stermy's game.

IMHO, if you're playing for the win, you have to be prepared to defeat any opponent, be it cypher or rapha or whoever else. If you are a player with mentality of a true winner, and you see that your opponent is trying to lose on purpose, what you should do is pwn him humiliatingly hard to fullfill his wishes and just continue to go on through the tourney.
Both cooller and stermy were behaving like lame asses in this situation.

What you fail to grasp is that if Stermy did play "serious", Cooller would have played serious , but missed a couple of shots etc and noone would have seen the cunning plan.

VODs of our 2nd day of Dreamhack coverage are up on www.own3d.tv/lvlup (I think 1 or 2 more VODs are still processing right now).

Our demos can be found here: http://www.rapidshare.com/files/433358344/dh_day2_demos.rar

Thank you all for the kind words you had about our coverage, it brings the whole Level Up TV team great satisfaction to know you have fully enjoyed our streams and we hope to keep up it up tomorrow as well.

ps. I forgot to mention before closing the stream today that the TDM show-match will happen tomorrow sometime after the consolation final (I'm guessing around 16h30-17h CET?)

silly whining; nothing illegal happened
one can argue that it is "lame", but imo its just a tactical move
especially since there's no hard proof, just speculation

and changing brackets mid-tournament is of course bad for your professional credibility

frowned upon by whom? the hypocrits that just happen to be in a less luxurious position, but otherwise would of most likely done the same thing? strenx and stermy whine now, but stermy was obviously playing an extremely suspicious game himself, and strenx was just oblivious as one of expect of him, else he'd surely try to pull something like that off himself.
these guys are professionals, in the sense that they want to go as far as possible in the tournament, making this the logical thing to do.

if this is something people don't want to happen, then it just should've been organised so that the deciding matches were played simultaneously, or that the playoffs were made randomly.

agreed, but I rest my case. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I do not approve of stermy/strenx gibberish after that, it's not entirely cooller/whoever's fault that this occurred.
Likewise, I don't agree that stermy/strenx would have done the same thing.

Frowned upon by whom? check this thread for example, surely we have both sides fighting but there are plenty people who disapprove of such behaviour. Me? I'm a fence-sitter.
