lurppis to AEC Malaysia with Karnal
By: GoMeZ
Time: 2012-07-10 14:06
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Former WinFakt captain Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen will be standing in for Karnal at Asia E-Sports Cup Malaysia this weekend in Kuala Lumpur.

Kovanen initially offered his services as a ringer for the upcoming Asia E-Sports Cup qualifiers in our first news post announcing the event. After some planning, it's finally confirmed that he will be representing Karnal at the Malaysian qualifier largely thanks to fellow HLTV.org employee Maxim "mitz0r" Maximov who plays for Karnal.


lurppis returns to CS in Kuala Lumpur this weekend

The Malaysian qualifier for Asia E-Sports Cup will be held this coming weekend at Invasion Cyber Zone in Kuala Lumpur. So far the participants list includes Hybrid, Orange and Karnal, the top three teams from the country. Signing up is still possible at CyAC's website. Winners will receive up to $5,000 in travel support to Tokyo as well as free accommodation during the finals.

Karnal at AEC Malaysia:

Mohd "Bruno" Khairuddin Said
Tomi "lurppis" Kovanen
Maxim "mitz0r" Maximov
Haron "haron" Mustaffa 
Mohd "wanro" Syazwan Hanafie 

AEC finals will take place during Tokyo Game Show 2012 on September 20-23 in the Japanese capital and will feature a $16,500 prize purse for the four teams from Japan, India, Malaysia and Singapore.

2012-07-10 14:09:15
They'll be speaking english in its broken form. In Malaysia and Singapore, broken english (asian english) is very common.

hf lurp always good to have pocket money for a trip :D

Actually, they (Asian teams) speak very good English. They don't have a good flow but it's rarely incorrect.
2012-07-10 14:55:52
dont know about malaysia but my signaporian friends speak way more fluid natural english than the heavily accented swenglish ive heard by most swede anyway.
2012-07-10 15:50:36
true for singapore, but I'd say a bit less for malaysia ;)
2012-07-10 16:30:40
Yeah but swedes are the worst with waarden countries and france :p
2012-07-10 21:09:50
Waarden - eastern
2012-07-10 21:40:06
We (french people) may have a bad accent as you say, but you have to know that English girls love our accent, what about yours ? muahahahah

2012-07-11 07:55:15
girls like your accent? oh you mean in the movies and 30+ years ago, plus your country is seen as the pussies of the world :/
2012-07-11 14:30:14
most swedes aren't heavily accented at all.
2012-07-11 01:34:37
Right, the 20000 swedes at DH are just an exception
2012-07-11 07:56:56
I guess you talked to 10001 swedes at DH.

most swedes of course have an accent, but I've never thought of it as "heavily accented swenglish". what is this then?

2012-07-11 11:59:10
Actually i interviewed a bazillion for some kaostv clips on the several trips, and spoke to many swe players as commentator at 2 dh events. I just happened to bump into the 100 swe ppl of which 99 either barely spoke English or spoke broken English or with heavy accent? :p
2012-07-11 21:12:53
We have perfectly good English. It'd be great if you people stop generalizing us.
2012-07-10 20:25:43
It's broken but good. ~~ Its broken in the sense of grammatic differences from UK ENG :)

Don't forget nxl :) They're a good team from Indonesia. MiTH e-Sports will be there as well.
2012-07-10 14:53:52
hehe, i didn't say they can take the tourney... just this team :P
2012-07-10 15:31:55
You are so wrong :-D
2012-07-11 06:32:25
Maybe. But Brutality have been in rather excellent form lately.
2012-07-11 06:40:34
hmm...all the top5 teams in India are equally skilled since there always is a rotation in the top standings in local tourneys. This is good with respect to Indian CS scene, but i highly doublt if we'll be able to do any damage to the outsiders. We lost to Austrailians back in WCG(i think), that was the biggest disapointment.
2012-07-11 10:59:41
Not really. Brutality has been raping everyone since a past few months (ATE included)... Mostly under 16-10 and quite frequently under 16-5 as well.

Noddy

VipeR
+1 (forgot :P)

TBH, I'm not even a fan of that team but i have been following the results and they have been dominating the scene for quite a while now.
2012-07-11 12:55:45
I heard that Astarr has stopped playing CS after CYAC...
2012-07-11 23:44:45
No clue. Would be sad if he did because Brutality have been doing very well recently.
2012-07-12 10:49:06
viper is good, but i doubt if others are as good as the results speak :-D
2012-07-12 07:22:34
Individual skill level is hardly their biggest strength, although that is not to say that they're not good in that department either.
2012-07-12 11:01:44
yups...agree with that. Lets see, btw are u not going play in this league's qualifiers?
2012-07-12 11:11:30
Haha... 3 big reasons.
1. I'm noob.
2. Haven't played much in the past 2 months, since i started working. Only about 20 hours total or so.
3. Don't have a team in Bangalore
2012-07-12 15:13:27
lol...seems like u gonna miss out some fun. I may be playing with my juniors :-D haven't played since 50 days or so...but it will be cool overall to attend a gather :-D

2012-07-10 14:56:51
Tomi,TyLoo probably will go to Singapore :P
2012-07-10 14:57:39
according to aec rules you have to be 60% from the country to participate in the qualifier, so a team needs 3 people from any country to play in the qualifier.

unless tyloo uses only 2 chinese players they cant play in the singaporean qualifier.

"For teams, at least 60% of the members must be citizens of the country they qualify in. CYAC or the national partner reserves the right to ask for proof of citizenship." (http://www.asiaesportscup.com/tournament -- RuleBook at the bottom)

2012-07-10 17:28:24
This is that I wanted to say :D
2012-07-10 18:44:42
Yep that is true, i organize the tournaments in cooperation with CYAC and that's my rulebook.

I never expected people to use this rule to do these kind of line-up changes.

I guess, cu there ;)
2012-07-10 19:48:17
do you have the cyac gui or can you upload it?
2012-07-11 00:08:05

Finally, cs news in Malaysia. I believe lurppis and karnal will most likely pwn in this event. Great chance for cs pros in Msia to meet up with lurppis though. Malaysians normally speak english or malay but there is also indian and chinese :)

I don't understand what is the problem in communication. Everyone knows what B, long, A, flash, smoke is - you don't need to know fluent english to play the game.

you realize you're playing a game that's made in english and smoke/flash/he is universal? A and B also... and it's not like people in the world don't speak the least amount of english to be able to understand spots - they can go over them before the event anyways. Don't see ny problem with that.
2012-07-10 19:33:41
how about an game advice or a headshot-only tactic? You should know english well to get it anyway.
