ESWC Masters

Published by Free July 3rd, 2008 in Quake 3, World events.

ESWC Masters final players list The event that all Quake community is waiting for - the ESWC Masters - has released its final players list. This event is going to start in 9 days, on July 4th and had to include 24 players. In fact it will include only 23 players and it’s:

ArrW
av3k
Chance
Cypher
czm
ddk
Donjing
draven
falcuma
fooKi
fojji (aka fox)
Griffin
K1llsen (aka K1ller)
Link1n
Matr0x
Noctis
Prozac
Rapha
Razerj (aka Jibo)
SLX
Unity
Vo0
Zero4

Anton "Cooller" Singov will miss the event as well as fazz, who couldn’t find sponsors for the trip to ESWC, and if-22, who will miss the event due to work (they were replaced by noctis and vo0). Cooller told that he already qualified for the Grand Finals that’s why he won’t participate on the Masters. This kind of "inactivity" makes some doubts in his win on the Grand Finals. As we can see, Anton Singov isn’t in the best shape and if he won’t train he won’t be able to show his best.
