Bloody bastards make it look so easy

I can probably teach you some stuff. I beat several of these people in FFA and TDM a few weeks ago. Wouldn't stand a chance now, but still. :p

Pretty shitty episode. 17 did awesome but the whole transformation part was cringe and very hard to sit through. Fucking anime man, I wish it didn't have to suck so much.

That was done on purpose...because you know that's the joke. It was supposed to be cringey since the point was to subvert magical girl animes.

Yeah, I get that it's the joke, but ironically making bad scenes still only results in bad scenes. And it's not just that. It's no one taking stuff seriously too. 17 attacking them during the transformation was one of the best things of the episode, and it was quickly done away with.

I think it's a solution that both overestimates the effectiveness of armed teachers in these situations and underestimates the potential risks that come with it. The case in favor of their effectiveness seems pretty flimsy, and I imagine that the costs and logistics are pretty prohibitive, not to even touch upon the risks of a teacher misusing it or a student getting his hands on the gun.

What about it?

Damn, really interesting development. The best American team just dropped their weakest player just before the tournament and took on Winz, a European and one of the best TDM players ever. They have a really strong team now.

Team Liquid, that's kind of rude tbh, unless the "weakest" player decided on that himself in the first place.

No clue. I heard some people in chat say he left to focus on CS:GO (his main game) instead, but not sure if that's true. AZK didn't mention it on his twitter. Still, it's good for Liquid. Winz is an amazing player, probably top 5 TDM / CTF players in the world.

Alliance is out, so that's almost closed the door to Spartie qualifying. He has to travel to Qcon on his own expenses now if he still wants a shot at competing, which is very unlikely. Too bad, but Defendants is also a great team.

And Myztro beat Miasma. Not the outcome I was hoping for, but still a good game and great team.

The remaining teams that are facing each other for the final 2 spots are:

Miasma: DDK, Demon, Juvenile, Lithz. DDK is one of the most famous Quake personalities because he became one of the biggest esport commentators there are and hosted big tournaments like Dreamhack CS:GO. Demon is another big name pro who attended Quakecon duel several times before. He's also Belgian, which is the main reason I'm rooting for this team, as them winning gives him another shot to qualify for Duel. The other two are pretty new names that played team modes in older Quakes.

Myztro: Garpy, Hell, Vo0, Hypno. Good team with a few known players. Garpy and Vo0 both used to be sub-top 1v1 players, but only barely failed to qualify yesterday. Especially Vo0 could really prove to be an upset at Quakecon, so if they qualify as a team they both still have another chance for the duel mode. Hypno and Hell are both good team players.

Defendants: Av3k, Deus, 2GD, Krysa. One of the teams with the least pro players on it. Av3k is their star player who also managed to qualify for the Duel section. 2GD is a well known caster like DDK. The other two are sub-top but decent enough team players.

Alliance: Spartie, Strenx, Busdriver, Syndrom. Another big team. Spartie and Strenx are famous duelers. Strenx is already set for Quakecon, but Spartie failed to qualify and might be given another lifeline through the team mode. Busdriver and Syndrom are both well known players, but not among the very best.

I hope Alliance takes it in their game. For the other game, I'm tied between the one with the Belgian and the one with (who I think are) the better players. Should be interesting nevertheless and I'm already pleased with the two teams that qualified so far.

This is fucking hilarious. I would post the link, but I'm not sure if it's a bannable offense.

If there's no actual porn on the site, it's fine for me.

Daily reminder that the Tobey Maguire movies are the only acceptable canon lore.

Wait what, Spiderman doesn't always generate the web? What is this shit

Woah Batman went blind?

So Wichtl and Cooller both qualified, which is great, but Tox lost. Big shame, because the bad brackets now prevent 2 of the very best players (Tox and Evil) from playing in the finals. Luckily, Tox still has the team games coming up tomorrow so that he might still qualify like that and then ends up winning in the BYOC for a last minute qualification. But as for Evil... We're going to need to see a sponsor or something fund his trip to gamble for another spot in the finals.

Overall though, pretty happy with the EU qualifiers. Shame about those players, but there's still hope and the matches today were already top tier.

European players who qualified for the finals so far:

Xron
Cypher
Av3k
Killsen
Clawz
Fazz
Agent
Noctis
Strenx

Those who can and hopefully will still qualify:

Cooller
Toxiq
Wichtl

Unfortunately, due to the crappy seeding and unbalanced division of qualifiers, these top players have not qualified:

Evil (saddest news of the day)
Base
Stermy
Nitrino

I'm really hoping some of the ones who didn't qualify still end up taking the gamble and attending the BYOC to still qualify. Especially Evil still has a good chance.
