Several of America's longtime Quake 3 superstars have decided to sit out the ESWC US qualifiers. United States of America Paul "czm" Nelson, United States of America John "ZeRo4" Hill, and United States of America Jason "socrates" Sylka will each take a pass on the online qualification system set in place this year, while United States of America Walter "walter" Outlaw's situation is up in the air.

"I would only sign up if either (1) fatal1ty signed up and ZeRo4 did not, or (2) the total number of registered participants were divisible by 12. Neither condition was met," czm explains. "Maybe, just maybe, I'll apply for ESWC masters. I'll have time before the Masters to get in shape. I mean, when was the last time I didn't place top 3?"

"I think the US qualifier is full of cheaters," ZeRo4 said emphatically. "Either the USA has the top 10 players in the world, or somebody found a way to shoot 70% rail and 40% LG without even trying to control the map. I'd really love to see who's legit and who isn't."
