If you can't understand that despite having no LAN competition in past as reference, it is still very clear that some teams (mainly those Vor named) are big favourites given their past online resultsAgain you are speaking of something "very clear" that anyone who knows shit about QL should understand. Let's suppose that I don't know shit about QL. Can you formulate and explain this very clear thing for me, that implies that some teams will be big favourites?
then a couple of posts below u mention online results to claim that evil is better than some other playersThat's for duel, and it's not online results only.
some teams have been dominating the online competitions in TDM therefore they should be considered as favourites on LAN, periodSome teams have dominated the online competitions in basketball, therefore they should be considered as favourites on TDM LAN, period. See, those kinds of statements are not obvious at all, you can't just assert that they're true. If we change "basketball" to "online TDM", the structure of the statement will remain the same, it won't become obvious just because we change one parameter.
Ah, so it's ok to use online results for duel but not for TDM ?Yes it's ok, and I explained why. I can repeat if you find reading too hard: "For duel we already have seen many LAN and online tournaments so we have some data to approximate the relation between the two". Not the same at all for TDM, because there were no LAN TDM QL tourneys.
And where have u seen evil vs demon on LAN since u've been comparing those 2 ?
That team A beat team B in some noob league online doesn't mean shit on LAN.Your own words ;)
Q3 times was winning multiple LAN tourneys defeating the likes of cooller
his pt4 play is really sweet



This...
stermy, how important will the TDM tournament be for you compared to the Duel tournament?
Italy stermy: I think the TDM tournament will be my main tournament at Dreamhack , since I will not compete in the Duel competition at this event . Time/Personal reasons - but I will try my best to fully be back on 1v1 for Quakecon.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to shed a bit of light on the whole seeding for the TDM tournament.
Since TDM on a major LAN hasn't happened in ages you can imagine how tricky this whole thing was for us. It was tough having to rank some of the teams which, even tho on paper had great individual players, had never played together in any TDM tournaments out there.
Not to mention that some of these teams changing line-ups so often didn't help our case either.
These seeds were made before the Jeesports Dremhack TDM tourney because myself and blaze were going to be away for a while before the start of Dreamhack,
and we didnt want to leave any unfinished business. In hindsight, it might have been better to wait, I know, but we're all humans :(
So once again, I'm sorry if any of the seeded teams felt offended, and hopefully there will be another TDM tourney out there that will be able to make good use of the experience gathered during Dreamhack Summer 2011. I really hope this is TDM being ressurrected right here, since it feels like learning to walk again.
