You could always send your previous PM :) Btw, we don't need PSR to seed your team anyway and when the tourney ladder goes live, we don't need anyone's PSR.

[Netput]

Indeed, the PSR is just an indication for our seeding.
After a bunch of tournament we already have the 'top clans' and we know which should be seeded first.

Now gogogogo sign up clans! :D
Don't let us down for being so awesome and make this weekly :P

[Chavo]

It seems that this tournament will be occurring during the same timeframe as the HL finals :(

Lots of tournaments = nice
All matches in one day = not as nice

[JIDIz]

It seems that this tournament will be occurring during the same timeframe as the HL finals :(


That's bad....np, WHP fast 2-0 :D

[PanterA]

screw the HL finals...you want to be there for GR tourny ..trust me :D

good luck to HL finalists though :P

[KissKiss]

Still got places left so make sure you drop me a PM before 12Noon GMT tomorrow.

We will miss you [5] :( ...not so much WHP, we are used to them not showing ;P. Good luck in the finals.

[StRiDaH]

I'll miss you both, but than again, I'll be casting your match so...

HI

Brackets!
http://www.gamereplays.org/heroesofnewerth/portals.php?show=news&news_id=553092

[Loosance]

poor brackets... unless a big fail we expect to see QuC vs FFS at least (and a catch up points prize to QuC for GR ladder, they deserve to be in the top 5).

Brackets are now up here (http://www.gamereplays.org/heroesofnewerth/portals.php?show=news&news_id=553092).

[KissKiss]

Yeh, we are missing quite a lot of teams this time around, and having a prime number of clans makes the brackets look messy. Still, I don't think there is a better way of arranging it.

I just hope we don't get the same amount of clans not showing as we did last time, or round1 may as well not exist at all.

[Nervi]

poor brackets... unless a big fail we expect to see QuC vs FFS at least (and a catch up points prize to QuC for GR ladder, they deserve to be in the top 5).

We will probably see QuC vs PSP/NrB and then FyC vs FFS for the games to decide finals.

the brackets are done just fine. unless by 'poor' you mean not too many good teams.

FFS should make finals easy, PSP/NrB vs QuC will be a good one imo.

Any 'big fail' will involve the 'underdog' team picking sandwraith+turtle.

How does QuC 'deserve' to be top 5? No tourney wins, no wins against any top 5 team in tournaments. Beating bad teams up until you play a good one and losing by a landslide doesn't mean you're successful.


2nd GR tourney QuC plays randoms until finals, loss to 143 wasn't close.
3rd GR tourney QuC beats pokerstars+5, beating pokerstars means little. that was their one and only competitive HoN game. Team 5 now and Team 5 then are completely different.
4th GR tourney The only team notable QuC beats is PSP and they've yet to place well in anything. Loss to FFS, not close.
Fnatic tourney QuC's only notable opponent is trn(same boat as QuC imo, a lot of credit for 'good' tourney placements, but beats no one good)- QuC plays 'team ringer'(Team 5+friends mix) loses bad.
HoNLeague tourney only notable opponents are smf(suave gaming) and they didnt participate / place well in any tournament. they lose to WHP, not close games. yes they win 1 game but refer to
"Any 'big fail' will involve the 'underdog' team picking sandwraith+turtle."
You see the sandwraith for trn(FyC) beating clan clan in the fnatic tourney and most would agree thats an upset loss
5th GR tourney QuC has easy matches until the finals. If QuC loses to anyone before finals theres no way you have an argument for 'QuC deserves top 5'. If QuC beats FFS in finals I think we'd all be surprised.
Im not blaming QuC for easy matches until the finals, but beating FFS is their best bet for any shot at deserving a top 5 rank.


Top 5 teams listed in power rankings(from 1 to 5 imo)

1 WHP

2/3 FFS+5 swappable
4 clan clan
5 143(current 143 is only 2/5 the players from the gr tourneys roster. willing to bet they would still be 5 if they do get a stable roster going.)

of the teams listed above every one would win 7-9/10 games against QuC.

If you think thats untrue then youve just got a lot of faith in QuC because past tourney matches make it hard to dispute.

[Loosance]

I don't really like QuC, but they deserve to be in the top 5 regarding their effort to be part of it; When i see some teams having 5 years of experience and don't show up to tourney. I don't really check wins, i check the evolution, they don't have legendary players like loda, levent, or chu ... they are new to the gaming scene compared to some teams and they have some teamplay problems but they are capable of doing such perfect actions sometimes, no team is abble to do the same at the moment and this is the result of intense training, i can see that; Knowing that, they are just at the begining of their career, if they keep the effort and keep the same line up they might deserve the top 3, for the moment they deserve the top 5 as 143 is not complete.

[HellFire69]

To be fair we didn't turtle against FaB and QuC are bad.

[StRiDaH]

nervi where is ur team man, get in these tournies

[Loosance]

after that speech you could sell me Miracle Spring Water for 3 easy payments of 13.99

nah i lied, but you almost had me fooled by starting that off with 'dont really like QuC'

I don't want to sell anything, its a fact; QuC got a valid roaster, 143 don't ... so 143 => out until they get a full lineup. And if you ask me to bet money on a match between QuC and Trn i bet on QuC that's why i don't put trn as fift (even if i think hellfire is a good player).

[Nervi]

nervi where is ur team man, get in these tournies

we played in the fnatic tourney. will get in these gr ones tho since theyre weekly now. gl in the gr tourney you guys got a good shot at makin the finals

[Freshpro]

sadly it was apparent you needed WAY more than a firstblood to win that game. please include that fraps with vent convo so I can hear how excited you got after a fb. you prolly thought for a second you would win LOL.

haha nervi is cool.

[CHEESEBALLS2]

Cheeseballs2 here.

Some very different trash talk between the teams.

Although, I may have to be on Nervi's side here.

QuC lacks in social lives, and you can easily figure it out if you watch [QuC]Angel's youtube videos.

Friggin sranks!

[CHEESEBALLS2]

What team is nervi on?

[HellFire69]

Kaution is really good at HoN.

[StRiDaH]

NrB loses to PSP
QuC loses to SMC

Props to PSP and SMC, some very good play by PSP especially, well done guys.

[MnMFTW]

Lol....

QuC still talking crap and they don't even make it out of the first round. I don't know whether to call it Karma or just true colors.

Stridah you still the man. Ty for the updates.

[Krangry]

Man idk who you are lol, but its all good. SMC played really well, we also didnt have angel . Oh well. WP SMC good luck to the rest of the teams

[MnMFTW]

A nobody. That was established. I just questioned why your teammates had to talk so much crap, and they kept it going, and now karma has rolled around and I just think it's a bit ironic and funny that's all.

[HellFire69]

We got gg raped by the asians. :( Lots of upsets this tournament I guess! TVh gonna win it all IMO!

[Krangry]

A lot of new good teams in this tourney, good to see the scene getting bigger and bigger

[Utred]

That was a GG, nobody miss the cast!

[Freshpro]

yo dawg if you get fb that means you win lane even if puppet gets double kill right after and has way better cs than your mali. haha woops i lied again, damn shits too easy.

SMC was just too good eh? well you won your lane i bet. just keep tellin yourself 'well i won my lane, no other improvement necessary'. victory will follow

Omg u both suck now stfu and troll each other in pm jesus. Kangry only pro.

[Blitzl0l]

WTF does freshfrifly mean. Am I just a moron and can't figure out an acronym in there somewhere?

Also, Krangry is a boss.

[Krangry]

Fresh, im still waiting for you to teach me to taunt like a pro, i never get smackdowns :(

[Freshpro]

haha indeed i am the smackdownmaster :D Years of practice baby.

[evoL`1]

Got owned by PSP. :( Comeback destroyed by my super bad Kongor call. :((

[tkothethrill]

go psp=]

[sharpcat]

Should win a few tourneys before talking trash or big braggin', Fenald.

Why can't all of QuC be cool cats like Krangry? They might accrue some respect then.

[Keitaru]

[Katsie]

Because those sunglasses are ugly.

[tabako]

i gotta settle this argument

first of all, i had a ton of fun playing in the fnatic tournament, and that is because nervi is awesome and the most hilarous person i have ever played dota/hon with.

second of all, how could it possibly be the accursed's fault for giving up fb in that lane? don't blame nervi for that one
i clearly overextended myself and thought he had mana for another spell when he did not. you guys were still getting destroyed on cs and barely lived with that kill, faciliting an easy double kill after i tped back 15 sec later.

you can dislike him for talking trash all you want, but his support play is very good so don't flame him for that

[Freshpro]

Aside from wanktalk FFS played PSP in finals and won 1 - 0 . Since this is actually a tour thing not argueplayground.

[Fenald]

lol'd @ all my posts being deleted.

I>nervi
I>tobako

get carried.

[StRiDaH]

This tourny gonna make for some interesting power rankings. ;)

[Nervi]

Any vods of the tournament?

[kustodian]

Any vods of the tournament?

There will be a few vods during the week. Our cameraman is busy by Tuesday, so there won't be any VoDs before that.

[Broodax]

You guys need to find better hosting for these VoDs. People in the US like me can't stream them because the host is in London or something. There has to be some where else you can host these!

Are you talking about fileplay not working for you?

[StRiDaH]

he's talking about how the stream isn't fluid, as in it buffers every 4 seconds, for 2 seconds, and repeats.

[JackandPep]

Yeah streaming is teh sux on fileplay for the HD vids, takes about an hour to load chapy's badass vids on a great comp. Could it perhaps be an issue with the internet here on campus?

I can watch while the vid is loading without lag. It's probably your internet.

[JackandPep]

yeah i figured it had something to do with the school limiting bandwith
