I can confirm everything Thalash ever said in the past and everything he ever will say in the future.

It is probably hard to prove, but in the Warcraft 3: TFT mod Jungle Tower Wars I was unbeaten... ever. Over a period of like 2 years of almost daily play. I didnt play Jungle TW exclusively, played a lots of TDs and TWs, but still, never lost in Jungle TW in probably several hundred games.
Does that count? :>

TF2 came out on October 9th (at least according to wikipedia) the first newpost on etf2l dates back to the November 11th 2007 and if I remember correctly the website was registered 3 days before that. I don't know when ESEA picked up TF2 though. I just know that a lot of people at the time in the EU scene had a Team Fortress Classic background, playing that competitively, so they just picked up TF2 as the successor of TF:C and started a competitive league for it I guess.

I obviously don't know the book. But it looks like the first link gives you the problems and the solutions. So you can do with them whatever you want.

I don't know where you are looking, but they are at the bottom of the i46 team list you linked: http://cf-event.multiplay.co.uk/public/teams.pl?opt=TeamsList;sectionid=1067;compid=1126;event=i46#h

Also what are you talking about quintosh? :D

Vancouver Island University for my semester abroad

Seagull and Hero are friends of the team, they dont have to talk to each other for that. :>

I wont play, especially not as demoman, those days are long gone.

The practice tournaments were set up before I got involved. But afaik they will be run every week.

The practice tournaments are there for teams to test the platform. Additionally those teams that test can and should give feedback, where problems might have appeared, what could be done better or what should be added. So it is definitely desirable for teams to participate in the practice tournaments.

Once you test it you will find that a lot is indeed automated. I am not sure what exactly is in place yet, because I couldnt test it due to the major TF2 update and time zone problems. But if I understood it correctly the plugins are very similar to the ones used in ESEA. Including tracking stats, scores etc and afaik there's also an ac plugin.

I dont want to be appear rude, but this poll will have very little if any impact on the actual ruleset used for the razer arena tournaments. I am following the threads and discussions closely, but I have not decided if there will be a unified ruleset or different rulesets for each region.

I can say so much, its unlikely that I will use the NA system for the european tournaments.

No worries boys, I'm on it. :>

I wouldn't worry about the current rules or setup of the "Practice Tournament". I am not quite sure where they got the rules from or if they came up with them themselves. But it is just the rules and setup they used for their internal tests as far as I know. Those will be adopted once I know what Razer actually has in mind. Where this whole thing is supposed to go etc.
