? They sure are, the deathmatch refers to the format used in playing.. it is like this, east and west each pick a starting team, when that team then loses another team from their side must replace them, first team to get all teams eliminated lose.. It is known from WC3.. E.g. fnatic vs east team #1 - fnatic win fnatic vs east team #2 - east team #2 win mtw vs east team #2 - east team #2 win sk vs east team #2 .. and so on and so forth..

I think : fnatic > WeMade FOX mTw > k23 SK Gaming > TyLoo fnatic = mTw WeMade FOX < SK Gaming k23 > TyLoo fnatic > k23 mTw = SK Gaming WeMade FOX > TyLoo fnatic > SK Gaming WeMade FOX < k23 mTw > TyLoo fnatic > TyLoo WeMade FOX < mTw k23 < SK Gaming Good luck all teams

2009-06-24 18:54

yeah so? dont understand the point.

2009-06-24 19:28

and nothing, I just said my opinion.

2009-06-24 19:38

for me fnatic > mTw and mTw > SK xD

2009-06-24 20:49

what does CS Threesome and Deathmatch mean?

2009-06-24 18:55

fnatic.MSI !!

2009-06-24 18:57

Omg I cant wait ;((((((( GOGOGOGO MTW! WHIIIIIIMPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-06-24 19:20

threesome LOL :D and i m not thinking about gaming :D

2009-06-24 19:32

You want to see GeT_RiGhT, zonic and solo in bed together?

2009-06-24 22:40

4 replies

zonic would occupy the entire space

2009-06-24 23:21

GeT_RiGhT and solo on top?

yeah maybe rofl

2009-06-25 13:16

Well... zonic might be heavy but that can't be nice either, having two not exactly skinny people on top... and not goodlooking either.

2009-06-25 13:26

Good luck k23!

2009-06-24 19:31

googog fnatic ftw!

2009-06-24 19:44

CET? Don't you mean CST?

2009-06-24 19:46

Central Europe Time

2009-06-24 20:04

Yeah i think he does (:

2009-06-24 20:05

You mean CEST? Which of course we technically have since it is summertime, but i still think CET is the least confusing thing to write..

2009-06-24 20:06

Keep writing it, I wouldn't understand CEST:P

Ya, that one.=]

2009-06-25 15:04

central european time....CET Compared to EST its 6 hours ahead... not so good... always really early in the morning or late at night for people east coast United States i will still probably watch most of these haha

fnatic <3 iZnoGouD

2009-06-24 20:18

good luck k23 go go go !!!

2009-06-24 20:27

Threesome means that ex) fnatic vs wemadefox sk vs K23 mtw vs tyloo 3:0 or 2:1

2009-06-24 20:38

they have to play AZTEC and cbble ? omg

2009-06-24 20:47

i still think teams are allowed to remove maps or something, so some teams will probably remove aztec. cbble <3 here's an example of a game on cbble SK starts CT fnatic starts T sk win 15-0 teamswitch fnatic tie 15-15 overtime 3-3 3-3 3-3 3-3 keeps going until the first player either fall asleep or getting an epileptic seizure.

2009-06-24 22:13

That's why we love it! :D

2009-06-24 22:41

wow nice... what tournament was it? I must see that....

2009-06-24 22:42

sorry, wasn't on a tournament. that's just and example of how much CT-sided cbble is. though, i still love the map.

2009-06-25 14:45

tbh aztec is more t-sided, the t's get to mid faster then the cts... aztec was incredibly ct sided in 1.5, but not in 1.6 especially with top teams this holds true... im sure they would take advantage and just try to get a pick and take mid quickly every round

2009-06-25 09:35

still it's not hard to use 5 he on the mid and kill most of T

2009-06-25 10:35

Yep we kill it Gangbang!

2009-06-26 20:52

I had the exact same thing in mind, like wtf aztec?! And cbble well, I can live with! D:

2009-06-25 09:13

this is going to be so awesome!

2009-06-24 21:37

aztec? back to prehistory omg

2009-06-24 22:24

cbble!<3

cbble > tuscan by far

2009-06-25 04:56

No not really, though it's fun with some really Stone Age maps.

2009-06-25 10:00

2009-06-25 00:39

2009-06-25 01:35

2009-06-25 14:41

2009-06-25 16:19

why wicked aren't visit famous championships ?

2009-06-25 03:22

clearly it's not good enough

2009-06-25 04:53

admins were choosing 3 teams from west and they choosen fnatic, sk and mtw, but not wicked

2009-06-25 11:09

I ask's not only about this championship.. at all ?

2009-06-25 19:53

so what are you talking about? they only didnt attend to dreamhack summer

2009-06-25 20:40

I don't understand the rules of each match mode. Would someone please post the page where I can find the rules?

2009-06-25 04:33

fnatic will give no chance to the other teams.

2009-06-25 04:54

2009-06-25 09:59

Can someone explain how DM will work?

2009-06-25 10:34

#53 posted by nomad

2009-06-25 10:37

it does not explain how a team can loose a match, since in online dm u respawn right after you die

2009-06-25 10:53

You probably just play an ordinary match, maybe with less mr:)

2009-06-25 13:27

It is a normal MR15 match. It has absolutely nothing to do with Deathmatch that you can on a FFA server.

2009-06-25 15:15

ok thx

2009-06-30 17:54

Thanks.

2009-06-27 19:30

TyLoo god whit you!! Good luck!!

2009-06-27 18:49

damn no wicked :/ anyway fnatic >all

2009-06-27 18:58

is there any chance of getting both HLTV and stream into the finals? because if they don't speak english on the stream, it will get REALLY frustrating to watch when you can't understand a shit. A HLTV on the finals really won't hurt anyone, so maybe try to talk the crew into accepting it would be something to go for?

2009-06-27 18:59

are going to play deatmatch? like mTw vs fnatic in DM?

2009-06-28 20:08

no it will be lika a normal match, but when fnatic for example beats a team from the east side, then a new team from the east side will be put up to play vs fnatic. it will keep going until a team has defeated 3 teams in a row i think, not sure.

2009-06-29 12:42

GOGOGOG mTw.dk my favorite :-)
