gg wp simi, awesome 1v1, 107 rounds!

I don't think anyone is saying penguin single-handedly won them the game, at least I didn't, I didn't even complain publicly, not sure what twitch chat was saying though.
It's annoying that penguin was clearly an unfair replacement however, especially when we were already massive underdogs; someone told me that replacements are meant to be slightly less skilled than the original, because obviously it's the team's fault if their player can't show up to a match that was scheduled, and shouldn't be given even more of an advantage after they delayed a match. Just like this map was rescheduled for me, which I'm grateful for, if it wasn't rescheduled I wouldn't expect someone like Twist or Jgreg to step in for me, I trust it'd be a lower ranked supreme, high skilled LEM player.
Watching Rumple go 15-18 vs toby and strogglok's team (no offence) and then having penguin jump onto x box and quick scope hs me in a 2v2 retake, be the only player to dodge my long pop flash and insta hs me on the first gun round, fly out a short and awp hs me through the box on the second gun round wasn't the funnest of moments, but I admit we'd probably have still lost.
F.Y.I he was 3rd on the team (by quite a margin) - http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/278478115352074923/109FF6ABFC23669B5295AA925EC300AFE7E4827B/  - and no offence to Robert or Thunder but as I stated just briefly before about some of those moments ^ personally he impact fragged me a LOT more on the big rounds.
 
I'm not complaining or asking for anything, I'm having fun with my team and enjoying the tournament a lot, certainly the best organised event this community has seen. Hopefully we can grab another map win, just thought I'd address whatever meme has been produced following that match.
 
Edit - I also appreciate the difficulty in having to find a suitable replacement in time tho

SO, as you all know Jamie said, "My computer is broke lol i have to wait for my new computer lol should be here soon man then i can play in the 1v1 tournament lol sah dood"
However, yung jimmy isn't as legit as he seems. I have PHOTO EVIDENCE that Jamie has been on his computer the whole time.

 
Here we have jamie clearly at his computer wearing a gaming headset, very suspicious indeed.
Follow me as i take you further down the rabbit hole that is this decieving "global" and his endless treachery.
 

 
This image speaks for itself, jamie is clearly messaging yung hugo macdaddy saying he lied to get out of the 1v1 against dearest Sivmen.  Shame on you Jimmy, shame.
 

 
Here again we have jamie on his steam account wondering whether he should sell his p250 sand dunes for keys or not.
 
 
 
NSFW: And finally Jimmy in the tub.

Rotterdam?

Last month's 'mod' of the month is going to slightly different. I've decided to give it to two individuals that have really gone the extra mile and put so much effort into what they have been doing. I think that they have done a terrific job with the tournament and they deserve this, so this is personal thank you from me. Also would like to thank everyone who has been putting the extra effort in from the lowest pep to the highest can't quite see him. Big thank you to all of you, both staff and members, from me!
 
And the winners are....
 
 
 
Among our infrastructure we recognise the moderator who we feel has gone out of their way to put the most effort into the community over the last month, usually this is just done behind closed doors and only applies to moderators. However this month we felt our two admins deserved praise for both their efforts as they've moved up in this community and the amazing production value of the tournament they are providing for Outbreak. We also figured this should be shared with you all so their efforts can be appreciated by everyone, thanks to you both.

Because it's much easier to get pickpocketed if you just have a stray wallet in your pocket, no matter how careful you are, people pickpocket for a living
Whereas a money belt is actually strapped around your body and immovable, only access to your wallet inside the money belt is by standing infront of you and unzipping it.

I've thrown the stats up for the first week.  They can be found on the ESL page on the right side of page.
 
Congrats to everybody who made it onto the stats for the first week, though given that several teams have yet to play a second game they are obviously skewed towards the four teams that have played two games already. 
 
Just a few things to end this:
 
For the sake of making it easier to post starts, could everybody keep their name the same as what it normally is.  It's not a huge issue but it just makes it slightly easier for me if people keep the same name as normal.

Also, could we please say this once again.  Please, please, please contact us if you aren't going to be able to make a game or if you are going to be late etc, it makes things much easier and means that we don't have to waste other players time getting them ready for them to be told that they aren't playing / won't be playing for x amount of time. 
 
Thanks and we hope you enjoyed the first week of ESL :D.
