The winner of the tournament #3

We want to thank all participants again for taking part and entertaining us with exciting matches. Thanks!

Result of the final

zhady vs koukouz - 5:4

Congratulation to zhady for winning this tournament!

CyclopP, the match admin, wanted to say a few words about the last night happenings:

"As you probably witnessed at that moment, the match flow had to suffer due to some technical problems.

First it happened during the first match on kz_kzsca_ancientblock when koukouz's internet collapsed, thing that required to restart the match. The problems continued on the second map when the godmode command didn't work, both players dying while performing the shortcut. Because the rules clearly stated that the second map, kz_ea_parkblock will be played with godmode on, I had to try to solve the bug. Unfortunately the cvar commands didn’t respond, making every attempt I had for 10 minutes, to not succeed. I decided then to do a rematch, this time both players knowing that godmode is off, in order to have a fair battle.

By the time we got to play the third map, koukouz lost his focus, giving up the map to zhady. The score then was 3-0 for zhady and the remaining maps were in jeopardize to not be played. Quickly, I decided to have a private talk with koukouz, trying to save what was left of the match. I guess that the talk we had did solve something, as koukouz won the next 4 maps, making the result 4-3 for him, with two maps left. zhady managed to win on kz_facility, making the match on the final map to establish the winner. Unfortunately, the mentioned problems started to affect koukouz once more, giving up again the map.

As you can see, everything started with 2 technical problems, creating a chain reaction for what was to come.

As the match admin, I would like to apologize for any inconvenience you might have experienced. Currently there are admins working on updating the server and all other plugins we will use for future tournaments, to prevent any malfunctions from happening again.

Hopefully you are excited for the qualifiers and tournaments to come, as we prepared many new surprises.

Best regards,
CyclopP

Demos of kkz

We will update the news as soon as we receive the files.

The price

As you all know the price for the winner of this tournament was the gaming mouse Gigabyte M6980.

This would have been zhady's mouse now, but he refused his price. He stated that he does not need another mouse and would not use the Gigabyte. He suggested to send the mouse to someone, who actually needs one.

How we will determine the lucky receiver is still unclear at the moment. Currently the admins discuss about the topic to find a fair solution.

zhady <3

18/04/2011 20:09:00

King zhady is back as the top live player in the world. But let's not forget that as of now it is 1-1 and that only one last epic rematch can judge who will become the all time city king. I wanna thank the admins and the players for a really good tournament. It's been a pleasure following these last two epic showdowns on live KZ skill.

18/04/2011 20:10:00

You wrote some mad history there, guys! I really want to thank you both for the entertainment. Also, congratz, zhady, for the wise decision about the mouse. It's better this way, no need to let it lay in some cabinet. :)

18/04/2011 20:11:00

GJ TOM !

18/04/2011 20:12:00

tournament hasn't good start but it was nice to see...GJ zhady

18/04/2011 20:31:00

I think the winning prize should have had more of memorable aspect than money aspect. I mean not just give somebody some mouse. It should be unique, something like cup, medal :D or shirt with XJ logo with your name... :)..

18/04/2011 20:37:00

Give the mouse to us leader enemy boss!

18/04/2011 21:10:00

18/04/2011 22:34:00

give the mouse to itachi^, his one just died

18/04/2011 22:37:00

I want to say some words about my tournament experience: First I want to say thanks to ChrizZo for invited me to such a big tournament.. First I didn't wanted to join due to free time but I managed it for make a good view to the public. Unfortunately I found some "errors, lakes,bugs or whatever you want to call it" that make my intentions go down and down.. The first point was communication between both users for make a "day and hours for make the match". Second was CyclopP attitude that make some users of this tournament really angry. Talking about mine I asked him for change a map of the maplist because I found that map really short for a 5 min match.. And He really answered me "NO" before know if the other player was agree or not.. It was really an offensive attitude from his part. On same situation we (zhady and me) didn't know how we can make the match.. First we said "sc" then No, then yes.. This crap was really weird and funny, but CyclopP said again with his attitude.. "I don't know if i will restart the map".. About Last match: sincerely sucked hard the organization of this last match.. About parkblock: "They knew that godmode was disabled" I was there watching the match and I saw how kkz and zhady goes to the same place again.. They didn't fail at that jump.. I can understand Koukouz sittuation and he really deserved to win because he managed to win next 4 maps after his injustice.. ps: Yeah kkz I'm defending you.. You are not dreaming Nothing more to add.. Nice Job and I wish you luck for next tournament

18/04/2011 22:40:00

Nextime write straight not " / " form , my eyes , omg !

18/04/2011 22:42:00

gj both, grats zhady

18/04/2011 22:44:00

nice words kunqui :) anyway gj zhady

18/04/2011 22:51:00

gj zhady use ur self have an extra one if ur mouse breaks or just gief it to me

18/04/2011 23:00:00

How can I change a map when it's against the rules ? Everytime the maps are announced prior to the match and you have _MANY_ days to practice on them. How can any admin approve your request ? Also, if the play time is 5 minutes, it doesn't mean that the maps which are played must be as well 5 minutes long. It was just a personal request, that any admin that knows the game and respects the rules, wouldn't approve it. As for the sc thing, since it's not a separate route in the official record list, nor specified in the tournament news what path you should follow, you as a player decide how to jump and where to jump. And also I don't think I said "I don't know if I will restart the map". My answers are always direct with no room for interpretations.

18/04/2011 23:19:00

Hope kkz will win next tournament :"( GJ zhady GJ koukouz You are the best!

18/04/2011 23:26:00

Who's gonna get the mouse ? Will there be another XJ lottery or what?

18/04/2011 23:49:00

finally, zhady won ! Great !

19/04/2011 00:01:00

boys, both tried their best, but the best was zhady! gj zhady and kkz zhady :first:

19/04/2011 00:27:00

I gotta say, it's a bit uncomfortable to read some of this, as some of it comes off like excuses for koukouz. Saying he got unfocused becasue of this and that. It's not necessary to clarifie that to anybody. As i'm sure koukouz does not want to make any excuses for losing, nobody else should do that for him either. This mainly because it takes away from zhady's performance, as if he only won because koukouz was unfocused. Because like you said, he started winning after you had a chat with him to get him focused again, then he lost, so that means he was unfocused again. It's just unfortunate that you put it like that :/. I'm sure this wasn't your intention but it can easily be read wrong. As for the technical issues. That's just things that happen, don't blame yourselfe :)

19/04/2011 00:33:00

gj zhady, mouse for kkz

19/04/2011 00:44:00

Worst final i've seen :( But when zhady have won facility i thought "now is begin the final :D" Well, gj zhady PS: Sorry for my english :o

19/04/2011 00:59:00

really not the best decision xj made imo you should have simply canceled this match due to major problems. but well its your thang and it aint matter anymore

19/04/2011 01:31:00

you said it all omilo :o no more words

19/04/2011 02:13:00

Not calling anyone out, but I slightly agree with omilio. There should be no communication between administration and players during match time or out side of match time that [b]DOES NOT CONCERN THE TOURNAMENT RULES/MAPS/OR LIKEWISE[/b]. If a player gives up, it is their own choice. If the flow of a tournament is disrupted it is the administrations fault. [b]NOT[/b] the administrations duty to make sure the players get back into the groove of a match. The only thing administration should be doing is controlling the game and its aspects. Not controlling the players.

19/04/2011 02:49:00

I agree with omilo.

19/04/2011 03:54:00

GJ zhady! oldschool win)

19/04/2011 04:18:00

The winner should take the mouse, so use it for another tournament imo .. will spare money :)

19/04/2011 06:00:00

kkz the best!!

19/04/2011 06:11:00

i need a new mouse =s

19/04/2011 08:06:00

I also agree with omilo, didn't like the way you wrote..

19/04/2011 08:39:00

Fair enough, what Fire said!

19/04/2011 08:57:00

I was afraid that some of you could understand the text that way. I agree that the way I wrote makes it vulnerable for that approach, but if you read it with an unbiased mind, from a simple spectator's point of view without taking sides, I'm sure you will have another opinion. I am fully aware of the words I chose, but I felt like I had to tell the "story" with raw facts and exactly how it happened. Also, the reason I decided to talk with koukouz, was because at that point he no longer wanted to play. Maybe it's silly, but I felt like it was my responsability to make sure the match that had been announced with 1 week ahead will be played, in front of over 600 spectators. Oh and btw, don't imagine that the conversation I had with koukouz was something like "cmon man you can do it, you have what it takes, etc." I simply asked him what's the problem, since on the first map he disconnected and on the third he stopped playing. I am sorry if some of you felt offended in any way. Personally, I think that I just stated the exact happenings from the match admin's point of view.

19/04/2011 09:10:00

gj both esp zhady for this won :). chrizzo nice work !

19/04/2011 09:24:00

Cyclop I'm sure everybody understood what you actually ment, they merely pointed out the way people could misinterpret your comment. So no bashing required, found it a little bit odd way of putting but yeh, unbiased mind ftw. For the tournament, yes I noticed kkz being a little off his game an improved upon the 4 maps he won, zhady was a little off his game then too :) DEFENCE! Imo it was a great final except for the mad driving wait in the park block which was nobodys fault I guess, though wouldn't hurt to check if the system works before starting, like you said a 600 spectator event. Being such a big event you're creating alot of hat0rz to come up which is always annoying to see. Prize: zhady, you probably grew a great number of percentages to your fanlist by that unselfish move, damn you politican! :P Imo you should still take it, start recording so many demos so your old mouse will eventually your mouse will be unsable! after that you have a brand new mouse Great job jizZo!

19/04/2011 10:04:00

congratzzzz

19/04/2011 10:29:00

Andr +11111111

19/04/2011 11:02:00

That one sentence didn't make any sense... Damn phones, "so your old mouse will eventually be unusable!" is what I ment to say.

19/04/2011 11:10:00

Of course my heart is with zhady, but wouldn't kkz have any problems either with his internet connecntion or with that godmode thing on parkblock - he would win..............

19/04/2011 11:13:00

GJ Zhady and kkz ...

19/04/2011 11:59:00

sell the mouse and give money to xterme-jumps trololo

19/04/2011 13:37:00

statistics could say that the winner is zhady, but for me as a spectator, winner is kkz. still GJ guys. Next tournament gogogo!

19/04/2011 15:17:00

GJ zhady! nice work

19/04/2011 15:36:00

I partially agree with omilo... zhady was there and was better than me on 5 maps. The kz_ea_parkblock issue should have been treated another way imo, like replaced with another map or simply cancelled. But at the first try, zhady was still the first to reach the sc and I probably didn't have a lot of chance to catch him again. Also I want you to know I don't complain about this final, I am mad at me for my mistakes during the match and my connection problem /:. The only thing you should really take care of, are these (useless) people joining the server. This is the main reason that got me "unfocused", but actually totally pissed me off. Next time, keep only the two participants and the match admin, others can/should join the HLTV (or is it not VIP enough). Thanks for your understanding, because not everybody wants to read crap while trying to concentrate. Gj zhady

19/04/2011 16:27:00

lol'd at kkz internet connection problem.. He got an even bigger advantage after the restart on ancientblock, and dont forget i was first by like 2 blocks on parkblock, it was me it affected not kkz lol, instead he was given a shot to win that map again when his chances of winning that map without the godmode issue was like 0%. ye get rid of the specs imo after 3-0 they got me so unfocused that i didnt know what i was doing and let him into a match that should've been 5-0.

19/04/2011 16:33:00

Just hook me up if you want a rematch, only hltv for specs so I can play a "focused" kkz who doesnt ragequit as soon as he falls.

19/04/2011 17:07:00

I agree with Mehz. Gj both, tough I'm a slightly bigger fan of zhady 'cause he's the eminem of kz. And he's from Sweden. And omilo makes good spaghetti for him. :(

19/04/2011 17:18:00

YE, zhady is right :) First of all, good job both of you. I,myself, enjoyed the match , even though I expected a "pressure"(something like 1-0 1-1 2-1 2-2 and so on, but not my luck :) ) Second is/are VIPs and lets say "match disturbers". I think there were lots of people in spec who should have been. And yea , when zhady was playing dementia , comments like "yea sure 3-1" pissed me off aswell. And the last ,but not the least , I propose to XJ staff and to kkz and zhady(only if you want to) a rematch , now for the mouse itself, because the match could have been MUCH more interesting if not all those problems. Plus now I do understand zhady why he doesnt want to take the mouse. I think he feels somehow this mouse not well-deserved. Best regards, ME! :D

19/04/2011 17:21:00

sorry for double post "I think there were people in spec who should have NOT been". Trolls , you know)

19/04/2011 18:28:00

I think there should be 2 XJ HLTVs. 1 for VIPs + Chat 1 for normal people w/o chat and the xPaw one with chat :)

19/04/2011 18:49:00

I've said it so many times and I will repeat myself again: I hate amxx plugins. Is there anything more to add? Godmode works everytime I enable it and suddenly it doesn't on parkblock? Yes, we could have checked it before, but seriously, we didn't expect this to happen... There is always something you forget :( Some more thing: I already adviced that only tournament admins should be allowed to spectate on the server, but my propose was denied due to the rights of normal XJ admins. "They deserve to spectate as XJ admins" is the explanation I faced. Wrong, in my opinion. They don't support the tournaments at all, but demand special rights. Also, it's just unnecessary; the hltv works. As kkz said, it looks like it's just not VIP enough. I change the rule to the simple one you guys proposed: only the two contrahents and the match admin connect to the real server. Thanks for the critique.

19/04/2011 19:16:00

Kayne said it, save mouse for upcoming tournaments.

19/04/2011 19:41:00

Chrizzo, I don't think admins should be given any special treatment like that. I've been an admin here and know what works and what doesn't most the time. This isn't like joining a normal cup server or having VIP access. These are live tournaments with stakes at hand. It doesn't take a crew of admins to work on one match. Furthermore, I don't agree that just because you have the title "XJ ADMIN" you should be able to put your self above others. XJ has been around a very long time and has seen some spectacular people come and go and none of them ever would have used the fact they are an admin to better them selves. Its unfair to the players, and unfair to spectators. tldr; IMO there are no rights as being an admin. If an admins can be warned and banned, they should be given the same level of respect as everyone else. Do what you do for the community not for your own interest as "XJ admins".

19/04/2011 19:42:00

Sorry for dbl Post. I just noticed you said you changed the rule chrizzo, good.

19/04/2011 20:01:00

it was a very moving funeral, i am deeply emotionaly damaged and only a big hearted gift could give me back my smile ... :)

20/04/2011 01:59:00

congratulations zhady

20/04/2011 05:19:00

kkz the best

20/04/2011 06:30:00

Well, I believe the coming tournaments would be much better. CyclopP, you just did what you can do, don't be sorry for things happened.

21/04/2011 17:06:00

wow that's nobel zhady :D refusing to take the price. GZ for victory

21/04/2011 17:29:00

We agree Fire, I think you misunderstood my post.

24/04/2011 12:45:00
