Oh hellz yeah

Good to see czm in, and fatality rofl :icon32: (don't think he'll make it very far...)

don't count out fat. he made deep runs into a couple latter-day qcons where people thought he'd get bounced early. given some hardcore lan prep he has as good a shot to finish in the money as anyone, even if he wouldn't be a favorite to make it to the final.

be interesting to see if toxic's q4 play of late will transfer back to q3.

Oh I didn't even notice toxic on there. I thought he was moaning on and on how it was a bad choice to go back to q3 and all he would play for a while would be q4, hmmm...

The names I'll be watching (in no particular order):-

socrates
cooller
Python (I assuming that this is the Python from days of old).
cha0ticz
daler
fatal1ty
czm
Toxic
cloCk

that said, they are the only names I recognise... getting long in the tooth these days

good list. lol everyone's a fat hater, poor jealous boys.

Don't forget fojji

That's fox

It doesn't really matter because the best q3 player of all time has better things to do than play q3..

Andrew=Python from Australia.

if he can get in the country...

hmm.. what ever happened to ZeRo4? I loved watching him play.

What happened to Fooki?

Didn't realise Fojji was fox thanks Mogul, that's another one on me list. Other names (though sadly most have moved on), outside the list I posted above I remember on my travels are (all have had some effect on the way I play):-

Thresh, Shub, Blue, Zero4, Makaveli, Immortal, Rix, Lakerman, Sujoy, Blokey, Lexer, PowerK, Pele, Polosatiy, Doomer, Wombat, Timber

Thresh, Blue, Maka, Immy & Rix to me are more Q2 players though.

The three who have influenced my play style most are Lakerman, Pele and Python.

I'm really hoping Python (thanks busetibi for the confirmation) does really well, it's been a while since I've seen him play.

ive always felt sorry for Pyth, dont get me wrong,i think he's a hell of a player, christ hes been number 1 in oz for 5-6 years, you can't stay on top unless you're really good, i believe if Pyth was in EU or USA he could have been number 1 in the world, he's just never had the competition/ been pushed to his limit here in oz to make him a great player, which in a way is sad, great guy,always willing to help you with tips etc, but yer tis a shame.
I hope he does really well, as he deserves it

yea, that poor bastard's never won anything outside oz (afaik). seems to also get really nervous in his big matches and ends up making clutch mistakes to let the other guy win.

Been watching back a few of the old games (downloaded from ESReality.com in anticipation of this event.

In the Teams box for the search criteria enter XSI to get the following list.

XSi pack Fatal1ty
XSi pack Wombat
XSi pack Makaveli
XSi pack Kane
XSi pack Shub
XSi pack Lakerman
XSi pack DOOMer

Each demo pack contains several demos (some classic games here) for each player against other top players in previous matches. If your looking for pure action you might want to look elsewhere these guys are playing for money and the games are all about tactics not gunho running around.

I'd also recommend doing a search on Blue and picking up the Blue Vs Python on T4 demo as well. (Just picked up some czm and cooler demos but haven't watched them yet).

Can I also recommend picking up Seismovision v2.27 for viewing the old demos. Once installed all you need is a double click on the demo in windows explorer and your off on a Q3 journey

Wonder what maps they'll pick for the upcoming tourney. Any guesses ?

Is that list official as to who will be surely attending or not?

Cause last time I spoke with toxic on IRC he said it was very doubtful if he would actually play CPL this year.

no, they've reserved spots and that's it. we won't know who actually shows up until the tourney starts. international players are frequent no-shows since they have to raise a lot of money to make it out... and q3 sponsorship isn't what it used to be.

i feel a certain pity for Python, ive seen him play, and he certainly deserves that title

yer feel for the guy, still 3rd aint bad.
props to Andrew for flying the aussie flag.
wd m8

it was a pretty good effort hey.
I watched him destroy ventz awhile ago so not supprised he made 3rd, but I reckon your right, not enough comp to push him the next level in Aust...
