2008-10-01 19:56

Haha, at first I thought the same ^^

2008-10-01 20:03

I thought exactly the same.. eml out, blank or roccat in.. the only thing that eml achievied WITHIN 1 YEAR was the wcg thing, or am I wrong?! they even messed up wcg qualification this year.. omg

2008-10-01 20:59

Completely agree with you. Emulate haven't done a thing

2008-10-01 21:09

Excuse me, but you three retards obviously know nothing. Emulate first of all, won WCG, reached top 3 in SEC (Where all top teams were present), top 3 at DH Winter 2007, where fnatic, roccat, mtw were placed behind them. Top 3 gamegune (lots of top teams), top 8 eswc, above roccat, virtus and same as SK (who is in the 1st pool) etc. So could you please enlighten me what Roccat & Blank ever achieved? Exactly, nothing. And what about Alternate and Vitus.pro, same pool as emulate but what have they done lately? Then again, nothing. So who the fuck don't deserve the seeding? It sure isn't emulate.

2008-10-01 22:11

I usually don't discuss with people who use the word "retard" in their first sentence... but here it is a need! I just thought, the fact that blank was VERY STRONG agains SK and almost defeated them, meant that they're in a better shape. and emulate didn't do even well at their last event. I supposed that that: teams have been seeded into pools, based upon earlier achievements and results was referring to the most recent results because in my opinion it makes NO SENSE to promote teams who were good and aren't lately. I already know your opinion, and got an impression of your personality, so please do not answer...

2008-10-02 00:36

I only said Emulate should swich with Blank how does that make me a retard or someone who doesn't know anything?

2008-10-19 00:42

fnatic to pool 1 mouz pool 2

2008-10-01 20:06

justplay gl but i dont think they can make surprise :)

2008-10-01 20:14

Yea, i think the same, after some problems with their lineup it'll be hard to show something special.

2008-10-01 20:15

ROFL @ Evilzone - 5th pool..

2008-10-01 20:23

dig and evilzone should be higher :/

2008-10-01 20:34

2008-10-01 20:46

2008-10-01 21:01

2008-10-01 21:10

2008-10-01 21:12

Pool 1 is like a hell ^^ I expect from pool 5 some suprises :) Gl to all :D

2008-10-01 21:43

what do you mean by that?

2008-10-02 00:30

i needed some plugin and i donwloaded it, then it opened it whit media player or something like it, i said "Ready" i clicked play but then i didint saw anything.

2008-10-02 14:57

I think, as far as I remember and if it is the octoshape plugin you had to install, after the install you have to restart your computer for the plugin to work correctly ;)
