Dreamhack QL Final Standings: Av3k Wins!

Poland Av3k won the Dreamhack Quake Live Tournament after beating Sweden Z4muZ in what started out as a complete runover by the Polish player. After winning the first map and almost securing the victory on the second map, his mouse died and he chose to replay that second map. Z4muZ couldn't change the inevitable though, and while putting up a good fight, Av3k was simply better. The third map was a walk in the park for the Pole.
This concludes our coverage of the Dreamhack Quake Live competition. If you missed some of the big games, you might find them by browsing through the VODs of ustream.tv and levelupyourgame.

Poland Av3k € 2500
Sweden Z4muZ € 1500
Russia Cooller € 1000

2 : 0


Seems like Russia Cooller is back as he ran over Sweden fox. Also underdog Poland Av3k seems to be an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. The quarterfinals should be finished by the end of the day. Belarus Cypher wasn't able to continue his success after Dubai by stranding between 5th and 8th place.

Update: The schedule of Friday is looking like this:
10:00 CET Stermy vs. Z4muZ - Delayed because Z4muZ has problems with his mouse.
11:00 CET Cooller vs. Av3k
14:00 CET 3rd place
14:00 CET Final

If you missed the games from Thursday you can still watch some recorded VODs on ustream.tv and levelupyourgame.

More coverage will follow!

imho kinda expected av3k would do good, fox has had his time, rapha would win if he was there.

av3k underdog, I lolled. He was maybe considered the underdog the first time he wrecked fatal1ty on the world stage, but by now he is easily one of the top 3 players in this competition :P

You compare sports to some nerd-game.
Even if i support something i dont make thousand journals about it. Or reply to every guy who doesnt support av3k :D

Some people dont like watching sports. They enjoy watching e-sports. Can't say im one of them, but the point is still there. I just find it irrelevant - different people have different opinions. What makes yours right?

Besides its a gaming community, if you dont like gaming discussion, fuck off.
Parent

sac 27 Nov 2009, 18:18
I am not gonna argue with a gamer like you + Its friday night - means PC + prac for you but party + drink for me.. thats how it is :/
Dont get mad because you are a nerd gamer who likes to spend his nights watching e-sport. I dont think my opinion is right but thats how i think and if a gamer like you cant stand it then i dont care. I expect a reply from you because a serious and mad nerd like you simply cant let me have the last word :DD

I'm afraid ive most likely got much more of a life than you buddy.

I dont have a clan to prac with, because I dont play much ET anymore, an hour or two a week unless im home from uni for the weekend. Infact id put money on you playing more games and going out a lot less than me ^_^.

I did say I prefer to watch sports, like rugby but im guessing reading is a struggle, thats alright though thats probably coz of all the socializing, right?

I'm not, but Im in enough to know that av3k is pwning most of big lans since couple of years alredy and calling him an underdog and allaimnobrain is rather not a good idea
Parent
▼
Krosan 27 Nov 2009, 14:59
First, he *is* an underdog because his latest results were far from good. Secondly, "all rail no brain" is one of Cooller's famous quotes...
Parent
▼
dnl 27 Nov 2009, 15:21
he won last dreamhack, isn't it enough to put him in favorites of this event? :XD

and about the quote i didnt know it so I failed here, but as i wrote im not an expert ;)
