+1, as a native English speaker I love seeing people from other countries using the language. It has some pretty funny results sometimes, but I'm glad people aren't afraid to attempt to articulate their ideas. International's broken grammar can cause them to be more concise and, in my opinion, can sometimes allow them to get their point across more effectively.

2011-10-13 20:56

2011-10-11 23:46

2011-10-12 00:29

Serious? :s

2011-10-12 00:42

absolutely. semXorah's NYC team: [Brazil] Frederico "atx" Marques [Brazil] Felippe "felippe" Martins [Brazil] Felipe "brtt" Gonçalves [United States] Erich "ninja" Beyer [United States] Adam "cypress" Abukoush

2011-10-12 00:59

wtf! thanks btw :)

2011-10-12 03:18

aren't they good? i read that cypress plays in a team called "Mobility Gaming" is he any good?

2011-10-12 01:19

cypress plays in Success Gaming, tagged 6S. ... not mobility gaming, as i recall, it was always latin americans that made up mobility gaming.

2011-10-12 08:43

esea.net/teams/40540 not sure where you get your info from... but its not ESEA. i mean cypress is alright so is jmaldo but if you're expecting players on caliber with the other teams at the event, you're going to be disappointed. theyre an entire division below EG / UMX / Check Six

2011-10-12 15:05

lol? i didn't do research, was i not correct about which team he plays for? I believe i was, i was just unaware they recently changed names. I even said he didn't play in mobility as i recall, not to mention the past teams mobility gaming has sponsored usually been open or im and latin american.

2011-10-13 04:16

go sx

2011-10-12 00:32

Why was ATE replaced?

2011-10-12 00:35

Esea news article says "The Indian team ATE notified ESL about their inability to attend the Global Challenge event in New York City recently." It doesn't say why they can't attend, but it was their choice not something ESL did.

2011-10-12 01:31

Sad to hear.

2011-10-12 01:42

:( .. really sad!

2011-10-12 02:28

most likely cant afford to attend

2011-10-12 02:47

ATE had the folowing lineup " r4id RiTz KAppa Wuzz PexxeR and as u dont know Kappa had some probs with the passport so they arent able to attend the tournament...not becoz they are financially unstable :)

2011-10-12 09:06

i was just speculating, it was either visa troubles or money troubles i just happened to guess wrong

2011-10-12 15:38

￥s problem

2011-10-12 04:15

Go WinFakt:)

2011-10-12 00:37

this will be the worst participation of a brazilian team in a international tournament, ever... they will play with two americans as stand-ins

2011-10-12 00:38

okay that sucks

2011-10-12 00:55

hauehuahea

2011-10-12 00:58

2011-10-12 01:00

hahahahaha sX group... THEY ARENT EVEN GOING TO WIN 5 ROUNDS (counting all matches) TRUST ME if i were them i would just skip this tournament unless they are traveling to NYC just for fun

2011-10-12 01:13

wtf, but 2k's fixed, is that enough for an all-round trip and a four-day accomodation

2011-10-12 04:11

yep I know, 2k's fixed but they have to share it and pay the trip to the US :)

2011-10-12 18:07

hmm i thought m5 were going to be there

2011-10-12 01:12

they are too drunk to play this tournament xD

hltv.org/news/7541-moscow-five-skip-iem6..

2011-10-12 01:33

ah yeah and they added winfakt isnt it?

2011-10-12 02:15

hard matchs for sX! gl gl

2011-10-12 01:32

mtw

1° SK 2° mTw 3° EG or WinFakt 4° CheckSix or UMX.us or SemXorah GL for all Team's

if you think eg or winfakt will make 3rd, why do you think the one who doesn't make 3rd won't get 4th? :D

2011-10-12 07:08

It's funny how common that mistake is :D when the logic fails...

Black & Yellow ? who are this guys ?

2011-10-12 01:56

aZn btk chE mediaN peachie projeckt have no idea if theyre any good only heard of azn and che before

2011-10-12 02:50

azn played in their esea matches but isn't listed on their team for this lan and if i remember right, che didn't play in their esea matches so che's most likely azn's stand in perhaps because azn lives in hawaii, so that'd be an expensive trip for him

2011-10-12 07:10

its a NYC mix they are all great guys and fun to play with. some of them have played multiple seasons of esea-invite which is the highest league in North America. They could be deadly and make some close games and possibly win one but it will be very hard for them being a last minute thing =]

2011-10-12 02:53

2011-10-12 03:49

iem GZ 2 china's teams iem NY 4 US's teams plus a south america's one wtf oooohh immunity i remember that but 4 local teams seem too much

2011-10-12 04:00

it's in a sense funny to call the 4 us teams local. i mean that honestly, as i chuckled when i read it. frod lives in tx, 2700+ km from where IEM is; n0thing is even farther at 4500+ km. in comparison, at sec, m5 wasn't a 'local' team, but moscow is only 1100+ km from warsaw, less than 1/4 the distance n0thing will travel. of course sweden to guangzhou is like 8000 km, so it doesn't quite match the distance euro teams traveled to get to iem gc. but i agree with you that it would be more interesting to see more big teams there to then compete with one another, or at least a more diverse set of teams, like if ate or m5 had made it. i imagine this will go like arbalet dallas did. an interesting side effect of this, though, will be to see how the us teams play. in their last lan, EG mentioned they basically worked off a default and called things on the fly instead of running strats because the us scene is small enough that it's easy for teams to memorize anything their strats, being as static as they are by definition. so, it will be interesting to see if they play non-us teams entirely differently than us teams, and to compare their success in each.

2011-10-12 04:19

Oh yeaaah buddy black and yelloW! Good luck btk1 <3

2011-10-12 04:16
