World Cup 5
Since this an Elma blog, I’m playing in the best WCup team, was 7th in the WCup4 and also being a bit involved in orgranisation of the cup, I think I’m supposed to write something about it.
In my opinion World Cup is the most legendary contest there is in the Elma world. It’s very old and popular (pity that some national scenes don’t want to participate). There are some facts that belong to WCup: px organizing, Rollercoaster, Karlis, FM doing well, participating to all events (personally), strange levels and the most important one, the exciting Sunday evening results publishing. I really appreciate that px still gives time for it and offers us the competition. This time we also have to thank our coding master: Viper_KillerGuy. There are some things though that could be improved in WCup: a better statistics system for old WCups (this is mainly my problem now), top20 replay packs available and some other minor things.
In WCup4 FM won the team competition. Back then Jokke played actively, now he doesn’t. Also Tisk is offline. But on the other hand dz is more active than two years ago. Let’s see how it will be going. I would play the cards for ICE. But will they bother to play all the events? FM is struggling for top3 at least, if you ask me.
WCup4 was probably my Elma career’s top moment. No way I will do such good performance in WCup5. I don’t want to spend my Sat-Sun nights with Elma anymore. I have good touch with studies and I won’t ruin that. I try my best to find styles and help Karlis as much as I can. But I will keep quite low profile in results. Maybe I will do top20 in standings anyway, that might be possible because most people won’t play all the events anyway.
And for the last a few words about my life nowadays. I’m 29 points behind px in our sport competition (read older posts if you don’t know what it is). I’m going to study 12-17 credits (from now using this word to descripe our .. credits ['opintoviikko' in Finnish], 180 needed for graduation) in summer. Currently having 28. One of my favourite blog entries are those where I report my newest credits. In the summer I’m going to do at least two trips: FEM05 in Jyväskylä and some trekking trips to North (hopefully more than one). The main problems are money and company. Would you like to join me?
