chuvash from Kyrgyzstan
Now he lives in Russia ::)

-
chuvash from Kyrgyzstan
Now he lives in Russia ::)
He was born in Kyrgyzstan and lived there until the age of 25. He's living for about 2 years in Russia now. So he's from Kyrgyzstan, you dont think so? :P Its about the nationality and not where you temporary live.
-
he was born in the soviet union. before the soviet union, Kyrgyzstan was under russian controll since 1876 xD
guess it would be fine letting him play for russia ;D

i hope Almog can do it, He deserves!
-
Change: Crash plays it.
-
No doubt that capital C is the big winner of this giiiiig: a field of Chicken23, Chuvash, Crash and last but not least, myself. Sadly enough, I don't think that the winner of this years EAC will have a nickname starting with C ???
-
It would be a sign of lacking self-confidence not to vote for myself.

Cheerio lales, you have more fanboys than you think!
-
Head to head race involving Mablak and Random00. Well, not a miracle. ;)
It will be the same in real and it will be interesting, who is doing first mistake. And still, there is Crash, Almog, franz etc. wow, amazing starter field.
Only 3 weeks left before the start! 8)
Hm, I should start my training plan now. 2 hours ss, 1 hour battleracing, 2 hours nades and zooks, 100 hours elite-roping...ufff, a lot of time needed. :D
-
elite-roping
try this scheme (https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-919/)
-
wow, this is awesome Kory :D
-
funny scheme and maps, but too much technical to me. ;)
-
Hows not clan NNN involved in this :) interesting ^^

I think this poll will be great to give an award for biggest shock and underdog of the tourney.
On another note... as the oldest, most experienced eliters out of you all, trained by Griffix, respected by MPH, rival to sharky, voted best eliter of the early 2000s, countless elite playoff final experience, winner of elite tournies, aggressive yet safe, darksiding yet daring, the mentor and teacher of elite to many ex clan mates and wormers who are now some of the best allrounders today, Im ready to pack a punch!.. I've still got some stuff in the basement! Rocky is back 8) 8) 8) 8)

by the way, 2 weeks until the start! ::)

still a very close race between Random00 and Mablak! 29:29 votes! Amazing! 8)

My EAC2013-prediction:
1. Mablak
I believe the grand prize will be a fight between Random and Mablak this year. Mablak and Random being the best players in different timeperiods - it should be very close. Mab has been playing alot of intermediate for a long time now, which has given him both advantage and disadvantage when it comes to the Elite-scheme. There are no long ropes in this scheme! Still, Mab should be the favourite for the title based on skills, experience and his professional approach to the game. In my opinion :P
2. Random
Random keeps impressing me. I was not surprised he won the last season in TEL, but I were also not expecting it. He's really a winning machine. Random's mentality when facing Mablak for their matchup will be decisive in my opinion - because the two points given in the match will most likely decide the winner. I'm not saying Random is scared to face Mablak or anything like that. But they are on the same level what goes skill and tactic - question is who's got the strongest mind? Can Random let go of old feelings and play fresh against Mablak? I'm not so sure
3. Franz
Franz has continued to play lots of league games in the classic league over the past years, maybe not in the same frequens as during FB or XTC, but still very actively. He's turned a bit inactive in the past few months though (lol), yet his experience and skills should be enough for another top spot. I'm thinking 3rd or 4th, coinflip.
4. Almog
Almog has also turned inactive because TUS bores him. How much will it affect his gaming? Not that much! Almog is in my opinion the type of player that can be inactive for a longer period of time and still hold an impressive high standard in his game. He is tough to meet over five games and won't give away many points this year either. Almog was the only player to beat Crash in 2012, and that with a 3-0 rec. I think he and franz will fight over the last medal behind Mablak and Random.
5. Crash
I was really impressed by Crash last year like everyone else, that he was going to win with such a solid margin would have given high odds. That being said, I'm not so impressed by his games in 2013. He has been rather inactive, and those games which he has played that I've seen have not been a champion worthy. I don't think Crash has a serious chance to win the title this year to be honest.
6. SPW
SPW finished as number 5 last year, quite a few points behind the 4th place and quite a few points a head of the 6th place. Should be aiming for a higher rank this year, but it won't be easy at all. I think SPW can finish from 3rd to somewhere midtable this year, it all depends on him :D I'm questioning his huge inactivity though, and think his placement on the table will suffer for it.
7. JohnMcClane
Class! When I hear the name JohnMcClane, all I can associate the name with is pure class. And die hard ofcourse. He's a true elitist and as the eliter he is, he should be fighting for a spot on the upper part of the table. I don't know how much he has prepared for the gig, maybe he hasn't at all, but McClane is class and class we will recieve.
8. Chuvash
Chuvash is a great intermediater, but nontheless also a great eliter. Had a great season at TEL last time it was active, and he was really tough to beat. It seems like he's in great shape, and I think he can make a very solid figure in this tournament. Chuvash reminds me a bit of Albino for some reason, and that's a compliment for sure.
9. Dulek
I thought Dulek had a nice championship last year with a split 6th place. SPW thinks Dulek is not satisfied with it, but I'm under the impression that it was a position Dulek was happy with. Dulek has very nice overallskills and I think he will have about the same amount of points as last year. This should hold to placement from 7-10 or so.
10. Crazy
Finished off on the upper part of the table last year, something Crazy was very satisfied with. Has a win/lose ratio of 50 percent in everything he does on WA, and 18-20 points (depending on the amount of participants), seems like a good guess. These points should be enough to end from 9th to 13th place.
11. Lukz
Lukz is not easy to place imo. He is one of the best players on TUS, and he's won countless of titles. Elite is one of his weakest schemes though, and I don't think he will be in the top. Lukz, or Artic which is a much better nickname, has still so much class in his gaming that any position in the bottom is not very likely either. Midtableposition for Lukz imo.
12. Chicken23
What to say? Tom, how good are you as we speak? One of the great giants in Elite, but that was in 2003, not 2013. C23 will surely be difficult to play for each and everyone in this years championship. I don't think he can perform on a high enough level in every game he plays to ensure a top rank. He's been so inactive! C23 is not like Almog, who can go through decades of not gaming, and still play like the old days.
13. HHC
What is experience? HereHeComes is! Probably the only player left from 1999 that is still active on a weekly basis. He is known for his default skills, and has a wide knowledge on how to make use of weapons in the most effecient way. Sheeps will be crossing maps in ways you never have seen. It will be exciting to see what position HHC can get. I think somewhere around 9-14 is the most likely one.
14. Free
Freeman2 had a dissapointing performance last year. Table kinda lies a bit, as Free had three matches which he was not able to play and loss by default. He loves WA, he really loves elite, and everybody knows about his real level in this scheme. I don't know what to expect, but he should have a nice chance to make a good tournament this year.
15. Devilage
A solid player, but also a lazy player. If focused throughout the whole championship, Devilage could very well win it. But the days when mushrooms finds its way through Dev's mouth and nose destroys for him. How determined will Dev be for a good pos? Or will he take a joint, give a f@#! and rage TUS? I think the joint will win in the end.
16. Ray
I find it difficult to place Ray on the standing/table as well. Dissapointing result last year, where I feel Ray took too much risk in his play and lost many games because of it. He lacks some experience compared to most of the other players, but one year has passed now and that is in his advantage. If Ray can play more simpleminded and stay cold and focused, then maybe he will finish mid/upper-table. Maybe!!
17. Seba
Pass? I want to say pass. Seba is a player I don't understand at all. He can beat anyone and lose for anyone. Playing Elite at his best is a pleasure to watch. Last years performance was a nightmare. I literally wanted to hang myself with his rope. I hope Seba can show himself from a more positive side this year. I'm skeptical though, he has not played that much in 2013, so that's why I'm giving him the same placement as last year.
18. Lales
Lales, I love you, you are one of my favourite players at worms. Still going active, and always with a great attitude towards everyone. Someone had to end on last place in 2012, and it was Lales in the end. Yet, he is not to be underestimated. Lales has lots of experience in Elite, and can win against everyone in this championship. He beated franz in 2011, and I won't be surprised if he beats another top-player this year.
Will there be two more participants, or is 18 the final number this year?
-
Thanks for the vote of confidence Crazy and folks, that'll help me perform better ;0. I'm trying to get back into elite shape (for 1v1s at least), it's strange how hard it's become to find good opponents, and you can't exactly practice many aspects of it against yourself as you can with inter. I just hope I'm not unprepared when we start playing ;o.
-
very nice post, crazy :)

It will most likely be 18 players. So we're having 17 matchdays, which is still enough imo ^^
-
What about barman though?
-
Didn't sign up ;) no time this year.
-
Great post crazy, was really reading it with curiosity like watching Django UNCHAINED.
Also thanks for the kind words, but you got one thing wrong - I'm getting 1-3
@ Mablak
I hear you, how about we schedule a practice match?
P.M me with a date (perferably GMT evenings) if you wish
This btw goes to anyone, not only Mablak.
-
wow, nice essay
-
Hah, these are fun to read. :)
Top5 for sure, motivation is sky-high, I don't smoke weed anymore and my mind is clear and I stay more focused. Last year I had many 2-3 games vs the top players and this year those are going in my favor. ;)
-
yea nice post, crazy. thats the real spirit. wanna read more of this x)
maybe others will do it too? ;)
-
I must say, that's some quality you put into that post Crazy! Also, I really hope that you wildly underestimated my final position, don't forget that I'm in CF and in EA and of course, in EAC for a reason buddy! :)
But, unfortunately, I couldn't agree more, as your insights of my performance in last year's competition are very accurate. My goal is to be the surprise-guy and to bring high quality performances to the table, no matter who the opponent shall be.
-
How are the predictions shaping up now, as we get half way through the tourney? Will Random00 go flawless throughout this year? Whats been the biggest upset so far? Who's the biggest underdog thats come out with some impressive wins? And who hasn't hit expectations like they should have?
-
Crash is way off of his performance from last year. He won 2012, letting Random, Almog, franz etc. behind him. 2013 he seems not even close to that form from last year.
HHC is a little surprise but the strong opponents showing up soon. Random00, Mablak and Almog are playing a good tourney too. And chuvash is ranking there where I see him. Sure, he's playing a good Elite, but very offensive since he's using cows as a superweapon (the only one!) and big leaks in bng. But its nice to have some different kind of players in this championship. :)
-
Crazy and Dulek have been a disappointment for me I must say, of course I don't know their activity status really and I'm not judging by any means, that's just how it goes in this championship, but their positions are quite surprising to me.
HHC and chuvash are doing great on the other hand, good job from them. Weird how only a few moves, grenades, girders can turn the whole standings around, I could have won against Free and Crash too and should have done better against HHC, although he's in a great form. That would put me in like 9th or 10th position right now. Oh well. :)
-
I feel like my game has been so close, but no cigar. I've had tight games with the top players in the tourney such as Almog, Franz, Mablak and Random00. Although some of the rounds and results don't display this.. My main aim of this tourney was to put up a good fight and see if i can still pack a punch in elite. I've done that against the best and now im aimming to not drop any more points ;D
-
imo Elite on that level is 90% a mental thing.
you agree, chick?

Agreed.

I agree. It kinda reminds me of professional snooker!
-

:) It's going great so far yeah.
But as you say, I got a baaad row coming up. Mablak for this week and SPW for the coming. And after that toughies as well. Of the people on top of the standings I only played chuvy and Free and lost both. -vs- chuvy pretty easily and vs free it was a close 3-2. I hope I can surprise in the next few matches and snatch a victory here or there. After that we'll see how the rankings really look. Top 10 should be doable though, that's a nice debut 8)

I don't know Ray. I have two points after seven rounds, last year I had four points after seven rounds. I'm a slow starter man :P Look at my schedule, I've met HHC, C23, Random, Almog, Franz. Half my losses has been 3-2, so it's also a bit marginal. I hope I can climb to the upper part of the table, but it will be tough now... Like last year, I'm struggling to beat any of the opponents in the top-10.

Yea, you are right. I am really really excited about next round, because we meet. This week I face Lukz and you play Mablak, odds are that we are staying at the same spots as we are right now.
Which means! Whoever wins next week gets to overcome the other. :P I was looking forward for our games anyway, but this adds a little extra spice. :)
