[25-26-27 February] World Game Cup 2011, Cannes, France

Confirmed:
Hilde BANNED
1vs1 competition
3vs3 competition

Question:
Do you prefer the solo competition on a whole day
or
the whole comp except top8 on a day, then top8 at the end of the WorldGameCup event ?


KingAce
No that's not an option. Sry.

Cool at the rules!

Imo the way you run the solo competition makes no difference to me. Whatever makes the lives of you guys easier but the one thing I will say is if you do do it all in one day it means everyone has more free time to chill and get FT5's in etc.
 
[25-26-27 February] World Game Cup 2011, Cannes, France

Unfortunate, because I think you would get a bigger turnout if players had more time to prepare.
 
[25-26-27 February] World Game Cup 2011, Cannes, France

I wonder if it'll be USA vs France first round again. I can't believe that happened last time. I think it was docvizzo who brought it up and eventually that happened. Silly idea doc!

Yes, StarWars/Algol banned.

Thuggish
Last year, we could have put France and USA in different part of the braquet, because France and USA were last finalist at the time.
But, I told you the story then...
This year, last finalist are Italy and France.
So, this will probably be random again (if not, only Italy and France can be seaded).
 
[25-26-27 February] World Game Cup 2011, Cannes, France

I read that thread though where docvizzo suggested we go against each other first so it can be "fair" for other teams competing so' that they can not get eliminated quickly. Eventually that's what happened. And we got there first thing in the morning with no casuals starting it up. I just thought that was bad.
 
[25-26-27 February] World Game Cup 2011, Cannes, France

Yeah blame me :)

I still think it was the right decision, but indeed it took away the hype :) But i remember KDZ not even passing pools, SU losing MM against random people etc etc...only you and RTD were constantly strong. So i dont see a reason why the US team should have been seeded for other reasons than Hyping a France-US Final...still in one match a lot can happen, we saw that at the German EBO tournament where the favorite teams just played utterly bad :) Same could have happened at Cannes, but it did not so everybody blames me :)
 
Lol I wouldn't but your the one that came up with it. It was basically finals right there. You don't put the 2 strongest teams against eachother first round :p. Might as well do that for singles comp too then.
 
Yeah yeah sorry :) I already got enough hating for that :P

The US players did not come the europe for several years before that, there was no reason to assume you are above singapore, germany, italy etc.. :) Human typhoon, KDZ, Esom and SU all lost casuals to me for example (esom said he was sandbagging of course after beating me in one match in the tourney of course :) )....the only US player that beat me bad was you! No need to seed a team with 4 scrubs and one champ :) (sarcasm, just to hype a bit :) )

I think we should just do double elimination for the world team, than everything would be fine :)
 
A couple things....

1. Docvizzo where did u place in the tournament in comparison to me. Just saying.
2. You beat me in our MM and that was it. Get that correct. I would be more than happy to fix my mistake and do a run back MM just for u while I FT5 everyone else. After all u never did run it back after I cleaned you up 3-0 in our set in Furzy's room. Remember that or did you forget?
3. Yeah losing to a grand total of 3 people in MMs with an extensive win record in MMs makes me such a scrub.
4. Snatching a couple firsts and consistently place top for the majority of my tournaments makes me a scrub :)

So holla at me when u catch up...
If I make it out there again hopefully this time the run back will happen. Last thing I wanna do is clean u up 3-0 and have u dodge me this time...
So wats good?
 
Sure we can MM when you come, i dont mind..free money is cool for me.

Maybe we can also do the Rock MM that is still open? Remember, the one where you said that you can beat me with any char cause you play on a different level? The one i didnt insist on cause i felt pity for you after beating your Kilik, remember? Bear in mind saitoh has a sidebet on this...so better spare some money.

And lol @scrub, it was a JOKE! I actually do not think you are a scrub, but not that scary that you have to be seeded either :)
I actually typed "irony" instead of "sarcasm" in the last post, just to make sure people get thats its a joke, guess i failed :P

So trash talk is on :)

P.S: about the 3:0...i really dont remember...Was that Cervantes-Kilik? I remember a guy who said he is not playing serious when there is no money involved, so take that as my excuse :)

EDIT: BTW Thugish!! FT5 15 Euro (20 USD) Re-MM ? This time Setsuka-Amy, i switched chars quite a while ago! Since you accept all MMs i guess its ok, right?
 
Lol its funny being on the other end of the spectrum in a MM. You have the trash talking rights in that regard so I can't say much. But I thought I would point out its just in that regard. Your still not as dominant as me but good shit!

For clarification though that Rock MM was all your call. I never declined so get that straight to. I have the balls to challenge anyone under any circumstances. I'm out there no need to waste time talking shit and not be willing to scrap like a lot of people on here. So with that said a Rock MM is still your call. If you want it you got it.

I don't need to be seeded nor do I care for it. I have the history of having the toughest bracket at almost every tournament I have been to for this game. It never changes. Shit the same thing happened to me at the recent TX tournament I went to. In fact I encourage no seeding. Not sure about other people who enjoy freebies. I'm not one of them.

Yeah Kilik vs. Cervantes 3-0 when I could actually punish you and shit that time. Oh the difference was marvelous. Use what excuse you like it makes no difference to me. This time I won't have to worry about fucking up on block stubs and giving u free wins in our MM. The ridiculous turn around in that set was a clear indicator for what happened when shit went down correct but for now you got it so talk that shit :).
 
Ok so its Setsuka-Kilik FT5 15 Euro!! Hope i'll see you in Cannes!

If you wonder, i stopped playing Cervantes months ago...

For the Rock MM, no i dont insist on it! :) Better spare the money to make sure you have enough for the flight!

@ShenYuan

Ah sucks. Sad face from me :(

Malek will do the honors ^^.
 
Sounds fun!

SC is more fun and fair when there is no Hilde. Banning her is the right thing to do for the longevity of this game. I'll have to see if I can ramp up with some else before considering this event.

I'll let you all know.

Also, leave the Star Wars characters unbanned for the coolness factor. It has been proven already that they aren't broke by any means.
