Quake: WSVG 2006 Quake 4 Finals Day 1 Melee

By: Nick Bee - Published December 09, 2006 at 12:17 AM EST - Writer Archive
One of the most competitive Quake 4 tournaments to ever take place in the United States is about to be underway. Cutting the fat and giving us some premium match-ups right out the gates, WSVG fields eight of the world’s best players playing for a top prize of $20,000, a Rolex, and a brand new PC.
The obvious favorite heading into the tournament Johan “SK.toxic” Quick faces off against Anton "mouz.Cooller" Singov in the opening match. The visa issues that prevented Quick’s rival from playing in London’s WSVG back in October will not be a problem this time around. His recent appearance at the Ponzan Quake 4 Invitational saw him placing third after being defeated handedly by socrates_ on both Phrantic and Placebo Effect. On the other hand Toxic has done nothing but dominate as of late and should bring his amazing play. Recently taking first in the Intel Summer Championships, Quakecon, KODE5 finals and WSVG London, he looks to take his fifth tournament and continue the sweep.

Even with a headliner of that caliber, the second match is pretty good as well. Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendell against Rafik "LoSt-CaUzE" Bryant. Still without a top place finish in a major event this year Fatal1ty looks to take one down early and prevent a drop to the lower bracket early on. A heart-breaking defeat in the finals of rAge 2006 at the hands of “LoSt-CaUzE” left him with a 2nd place finish in South Africa, something he probably hasn’t forgotten. The wins at rAge, KODE5 USA, and a 3rd place finish at WSVG London give the impression that the formerly underestimated LoSt-CaUzE will not be an underdog this time around.

The final two matches Jason "Socrates" Sylka vs. Alexander "Ztrider" Ingarv and James "fnatic.TooGoood" Harding against 3rd. Alessandro "stermy” Avallone promise equally thrilling competition.
