Primary Strike 2002

Posted by Myers at 13:45 15/1/2002.

Just to clear up some confusion. The dates for Primary Strike are as follows:

Please note the finals are on the 23rd of February not the 16th as many people thought.

Four clans have recieved byes straight to the finals due to time restraints & performances at previous lans. Those clans are Four-Kings, Does Not Compute, Nocturne & Prozac.

The website is now up and more details should appear on it over the next day or two. If you have a question that is not answered on the website please join #lanarena.uk on quakenet and ask me (Myers), Dunkz or Silus

Why do proZac have a bye? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

coz of the CSC7 perrformances in the past lanarena tournaments where they have finished 2nd in both. They will also be flying in tau and i-e from abroad, and are looking in good shape to become a real threat. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I'd say the reason they got a bye is because two players are coming from finland or wherever.
Totally unfair since IE or futz havnt proved themselves on lan nor have any of the other players. But understandable. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I guess they had to give it to someone but if we would have known they would give you a bye just because you were coming from a different country we would have come over :/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Khaos and geno (ex-csc7) have proven them selves on lan.

K and for UI who beat CSC7 21-3 at CPL Dallas Qualifiers, we have to qualify :) So as for CSC7's performances well.........

Anyway don't worry, we'd rather get the practice in qualifying :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

point taken about the cpl quals, but were talking about performances in past LANARENA tournys where they finished 2nd in both, beating 4k and coming runners up against noc. so there :P [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

For what it is worth I believe that new clans should start form scratch reputation wise. OK they have two players from CSC7 who did do well in previous events but Prozac have played no LANs as a clan (I think :P). There are many teams who have been about for a while and proved themselves at LANs with their current teams who should have been given this place IMO. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

lol proc....csc7 was dead before the cpl, i believe the second half we played totally with dual elites only. Yea you were better than csc7 at cpl, but no one could be f***ed with csc7 anymore, sn, kix, silver, hardnut.. all gave up cs.

He's talking about when csc7 actually cared, and came runner up at wcg, and beating 4K in previous lan arena events.

And for the record, I-E and f***z attend regular lans in finland #naps if you dont believe me. Ask a few of them what i-e and f***z are like on lan. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Fair play to prozac, they have proved to be a good squad online.

Prozac are not csc7 in the slightest, but i think prozac getting thru like that is cool, cant think of many other clans that would beat them tbh

As for procs post lol, i wish u guys was about when we gave a crap, as for that scoreline seems good yeah, but you were playing serious when we were using mac 10's? ok [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Prozac got the bye cos some of their members are organising this thing. Not because they have the quality of 4k, dNC or noc. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Eagle, Yes i am organising this with dunkz and silus, and yes i am the manager of prozac. However i was organising this before i became manager + prozac got the bye for reasons listed above. have a nice day :). And dunkz was the one who gave the 4 clans a bye not me.

Silver if your going to say that performance didn't matter, you could say when you beat 4K at lan arena it didn't matter either, because like oppie said it was a competely diff team. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I don't want to get drawn into this argument about the byes, but how many teams will be competing in the finals btw? If it's going to be the 4 byes plus 2 winners, one from each qualifier then personally I think it should have been top 2 clans from both qualifiers and 2 byes.

In all fairness there are 2 clans leading the UK CS community and as we all know that is noc and 4K. Both have proved themselves countless times online and at LAN that are the dominating forces behind our community and will continue to be for the duration they stick around. To give two extra clans byes for any reason is just being too nice. Though dNC are a very strong force so my point is clearly arguable.

Also just out of curiousity but what have ProZac done to prove themselves as a clan? Not the fact that 2 CSC7 members were in it, because as we all know this is a 5 v 5 game. Having trouble getting members across Europe is no ones fault but their own and they shouldn't be rewarded for it. They chose two Finnish members and should pay the consequences with what that brings, like what 4K have had to deal with in previous LAN's and not being able to field their strongest team.

Xceed..
the qualifiers are in group stages..
the top team from each of the 6 groups at each qualifier will go through to the finals..
thus 6 teams from notts, 6 teams from maiders..and 4 byes = 16 teams...
the finals will be a knockout format, but with a losers bracket. pretty much same as cpl in that aspect [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Good luck myers and crew at the end of the day you cannot make everyone happy.

They have given there reasons for the byes at the end of the day it there comp and there descision is final.

People would be better putting there effort in surporting such events rather than knocking them before they begin.

Alot of time and effort goes into these sort of things and u can be guaranteed that most people involved are doing it for there love of the game not "money".

If your not happy with the way things are being organised then vote with your feet and do not take part. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I just saw this LANarena tournament and thought it looked pretty interesting since the majority of cF live near the newcastle branch.

I was wondering if we could enter from newcastle or if we would have to travel to either Maidenhead or Nottingham for the qualifier?

Note, we we probably wouldnt pass the qualifier considering the opposition but it looks like it could be good experience anyway. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Not to b***h, but 4K lost to csc7 primarily because they (I was not infact playing khaos) agreed to play on the connection that csc7 refused to play on (ie hosted at their end with regular 600 ping spikes) secondarily because of ,imo, daft rules (not CO nor MR) and thirdly we probably could have put out a better team.

Pretty gay post I admit and Im sorry, as for pzc getting the bye:
Everyone knows pzc look like one of the strongest teams going participating and will do well, but in my opinion the bye should probably have gone to someone else as this is their first event. The fact they have two finnish players shouldnt really come into it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

ok, Primary Strike was thought up by silus, myers and me during a p*** up in a strip club in October. At the cpl, me and Myers were approaching clan ( 4k, LR, PRO, noc etc...).
Since then, we have had countless meetings (including one at myers beach villa in gay capital of the world, Brighton) disscussing everything from the layout of the tourny to the rules. Although the web site is taking an EXTREMELY long time to get up.

This tourny has the potential to be a big hit. Give us your backing and we will do all we can to make it run smoothly and better fo y00.

LA Config looks good, just a question tho.

interp 0.05 is in the config, now there is a command interp (which has no assigned value to it) and ex_interp (which does assign values)

interp is either off or on , so it can't be 0.05
ex_interp obviously can have any value you want

so i assume it is mean to be ex_interp in the config? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
