Polish WC3 admin. ClanBase gathered dedicated community people from all over Europe. It was cool to see not only a player from Poland around but also an admin.

How could I forget her name? Wtf...

Unholy still had the strength for joking around though his mind was seriously lagged by now.

After the event, Brett invited the whole crew (20+ people) to a club, then to a dinner. There's no party like a GGL party!

Brett's businees associate from Denmark. Really cool guy.

He doesn't say much and he's shy. But hell, can he play games or what!

Hope to see this lad in Q4. One of my favourite players.

Sander with his "oh fuck" CPL Spain impression from our video interview. Guess he wasn't happy to pose with me.

They were everywhere.

Ze Germans. It's always ze Germans.

Both ins0mnia and Xandra were impressed with how the EuroCup felt. I don't understand why a man would enjoy phallic symbols to such an extent.

Yes, she is a feminist.

She had a black bra and red thongs. Duly spotted by roach from fnatic when she thought no one could see.

The Russians playing CS watched how Cooller was doing and he watched them play. Sadly, both parties lost their finals.

frag^m let me wear his stuff for a while. Istantly, I felt a bigger man!

The kid's young. A bright future ahead of him!

Brett interviewed before the CS grand final. When he was asked who he thought would win, he laughed and said he's not a bookie.

fox is just so pokerfaced all the time it's depressing.

TosspoT interviews ic during the decoration.

This kid has two cell phones, a video camera, a tripod, a photo camera, an mp3 player, a digital sound recorder and a laptop. And he drives a truck because he can't carry all that shit on his own.

Behold the immesureable excitement!

Vo0, meth and Lauke watching the Q3 grand final live. They were cheering for the underdogs.

frag^m talked shit prior to the event, during the event and... lived up to it. He has a right to celebrate.

The winners of the EuroCup XI with their manager.

The best (?) play.aAa player could not bear the view of Mouz celebrating. Some of the others are not having that much fun either.

Neither daddy nor kiLLu felt like touching the cup with their lips after Cloud did it.

frag^m kisses the trophy. You can even see the lips on it!

The big man behind the GGL and the big man from fnatic.

The Dark Horse of the EuroCup. Beat everyone and won the trophy in WC3.

Unholy in the middle, dying. He hadn't slept for more than two days straight but he remembered his good old Quake days and managed to stay awake somehow.

The man with beastly aim... BARA RAIL, JOHAN! ;)

Before the grand final, ic were very focused and definitely wanting to win a lot. More than their reactions showed.

Before the grand final, ToD had a reason to smile as he was in it. He fell short in the long run, though.

Rush3D in action. Cooller gave jibo quite a scolding at times. If you understood what he was saying you'd get an idea of why he is the #1 player in the world.

Cooller and jibo before the EC final.

I believe in the times of SMAU ILP almost over a year ago, this team was valled Victum, a.k.a. Cliptum, because they were infamous for clipping (a kind of a cheat technique in CoD).

He has this Leeroy Jenkins sms tone. Actually, I was the last man on earth that hasn't heard of Leeroy Jenkins prior to this event.

Here's a small dialogue from the EC LAN between Unholy and Cooller:

Cooller: How do I get the money?
Unholy: You fill out this form, give it to me, we process the money and send you a check in the mail in six weeks.
Cooller: So long?
Unholy: Well, six weeks is pretty fast.
Cooller: Cash is pretty fast.

I gave him lots of shit for trading accounts. Now we both make fun of it. ToD's a pretty cool guy.

jibo showing off his cool clothing.

There. Posted it. Now you can give me interviews anyway.

Unless you're playing you should be practicing. And if you're not practicing you should be practicing. And if you can't practice you should be resting. The way the pros do it.

A caption for this one -- met him in Milan last year, at SMAU ILP. Seems a nice chap. Originally from South America iirc.

No caption.

No caption.

Cloud - frag^m - daddy - kiLLu

Apparently, the farther away you sit from Cloud the less of a thug you are.

The ClanBase WC3 supervisor and a man of great talent in terms of posing for photos.

He's the man! One of the founders of ClanBase and the creator of the ClanBase EuroCup III movie. He says he put in a LOT of work into hiding he has no talent for movieing. I'd say he succeeded greatly!

Fantastic guy I have to say. He plays WoW with makaveli on a regular basis. Guess what jokes are still in fashion?

After a very close game vs. Ocrana in their first game there were no surprises. Frag^m's shit talking turned out to be realistic yet again!

The youngest and the most coy in Mouz.

I don't know what's up with that hair style but you're not Blizzard... The shittier half of Mouz UT btw.

One of, as roach so elegantly put it, the better half of Mouz UT.

I swear I've never seen him play with his mouth closed.

Trying to look like DevilMC. Ain't fooling anyone here, mate!

Likeable guy. I was being an asshole saying he should be replaced in the middle of the deciding map of the UT2004 final because of his negative net during the shoutcast but that was only because I couldn't think of anything meaningful to say.

My model for Swedish pronunciation, though he says he comes from the part of Sweden where the accent is more redneckish than that of Z4muZ. Don't know how true this is but I guess it's still funny.

Unholy paid Vo0 to wear this but still, he kept refusing to smile :(.

That's what it looked like inside. The show was quite nice to watch and listen to. Red and Toss casting.

The one Fntaic team that's pretty much average, for a change. That's SpawN's brother on the left hand side by the way.

They're a loveable pair. Though they kind of lack the p1mpish shine of proZaC + fazz, they're my favourite Q3 duo.

TosspoT interviewed Xandra who turned out to be a World of Walking geek. WHAT A LOSS TO HUMANITY!

...and I got Iris to pose. That's how they do it in CowWorks!

As someone pointed out on ESReality, you need to photograph girls from both sides...

I don't think she had much to do with the LAN itself but she wore the CB t-shirt nonetheless.

The Russian mobsters were there as well and took second place in the tournament. Now they want to conquer New York City and DigitalLife but I'm not that certain that they'll make it there.

Inside joke. proZaC I love you!

...Blizzard...

The CS EuroCup winners from Germany, Mousesports themselves.

I stood at the reception desk on the first day trying to negotiate some extra coupons for food and drinks because it was my birthday. And here comes this guy saying "Carmac, hey."

Ha! Another fanboy, I think. But lo! it was my superboss :D

I know you've seen them in other galleries but what's a EuroCup XI gallery without the trophies?!

Man, I talked to her all the time, I sat down at the hotel bar for at least a half hour on the first day and I have no fucking recollection of what her name is. Sorry about that, Finnish girl!

We nursed lauke at the ECG in Hannover together and what kind of a friend is he now? He wanted me to moon his camera and say "ownage owns my ass," and I'm dead fucking serious here.

Bad rob, bad...

That is where the guys picked the stream music half of you probably hated and that's where all the backstage shit goes on. TosspoT was downloading porn there in his free time.

That shirt > the fnatic shirt. Sorry, zr0.

Mister triple rail ironbyte and desp. They are both very good teachers of Swedish.

I wear white socks and I am proud of them!

fox = culprit.

It tasted better than it looked. Imagine that!

Helspawn turned out to be a really great lad. Additionally, his mother is a marvellous cook.

TOX revealed that his victory over Cooller at ESWC was not a coincidence -- he had the Russian well studied.

On Thursday, there was a gettogether at sizah's place. Lots of cool people were there. That included Vo0 who was desperately trying to articulate "th" properly. Or at least it looks that way in the picture.

Iris, the one one the right, recognised me at the LAN reception. Turns out she's a geek and reads ESReality.

And yes, I had to take a photo of both sides.

The inside of the building was just as inviting I'd say.

The venue of the EuroCup XI LAN looked rather inviting from the outside.

ClanBase's Nico, the Norwegian kingpin. Terrifyingly calm and quiet.

I thought it was pretty cool until I was all sleepy and had to close the damn curtains.

We were lodged in the Bastion Hotel in Amsterdam which was a bit annoying considering you had to get up early to get to the tournament area before the players would... but it turned out to be a blessing for those who went out on Saturday night and had a flight home on Sunday morning.

...teleported to Holland, you'll definitely know where you are.

At the airport I saw many cameras and got ready to give a dozen interviews. Unfortunately, they were there for the Polish volleyball squad. The only person waiting for me was Beldin (the bored, ugly one).

END OF GALLERY!

Goodbye France. On the plane, having missed two flights... Don't even ask.

Sorry for the blurry picture. It was way too little sleep for me.

The Finnish guy falling asleep on me on the way back. Funny thing is I fell asleep on him too and he got a photo as well.

No sleep for more than 24 hours. At least I was in very good company.

We met proZaC riding around the place in this chair at about two o'clock somewhere in Paris.

Looks like the lad moved somehow. I wish I knew French so I could understand what the hell he was muttering.

That's Lam's co-presenter on the ESWC stage. She works in a dumb girly TV show for teens. The bright side is that she dances like few people can.

ZTN!

...and taking a rest.

sizah demanding a rematch.
