ye and NiP got a world record, shame SK didnt being (or have not announced yet) their the biggest organisation in the world apparently :)

"Largest Cash Prize won by an individual for a single game
On 19th October 2004, Meng "Rocketboy" Kang [China] was awarded $125,000 for defeat Jonathon "Fatal1ty" Wendel during the ACOM Fatal1ty Shootout at the Great Wall of China."
It was not the $1,000,000 for the CPL world tour with painkiller? :/

No one won $1mill in a single game. Although fatal1ty did win $150k in the final of the CPL WT 2005.

#3 yeah, 150k > 125k :)

you better tell Guiness then! :D Ye Painkiller was a world tour the $1million was over the various stops.

Old idea and a worse try.
There are so many people, who know a lot about eSport. Please ask them!

#3 That's only a match between Rockyboy and Fatality, not a tournament.

3$ hahahahahahhaa =] what a bullshit ?
Do u know game Starcraft ? and Korean Stars ?

Shame the reason NiP are in the records has nothing to do with their squads or performances in a server mind you :P
Although don't quote me on this, if records were extensive then SK would be in there as well, since "we" sold a player (or another organisation bought out the contract) for the most money ever. Can't remember, might have been a Counter Strike player to NiP or something like that. Remember though, don't quote me! ^_^

What does that have to do with anything? #9 :) There are several organisations that have sport agents working with them, the agency we (4K) and several other high profile teams that arnt a million miles away from this website have used for years are massive. We haven't felt the urge thus far to get ourselves in the Guinness book of records tho!

during the ACON Fataliy Shootout (ACOM/ACON)
?

imo NiP got it cause of they had the line up of one of the most successful teams ever with HeatoN leading em, even tho they played under the SK Name i guess the Record people thought it should go to NiP Insteead

#10
Guess people have different standards. Most people will assume when NiP say they are being featured in the Guinness Book of Records they will assume it was for something more majestic than being the first organisation to have a agent, as #12 quote promptly proves.

is that envy i smell ?

#2 it says in a single game. Fatal1ty didnt win 150k on CPL WT just by playing a single game :)

#13 you do realize NiP has been outperforming SK for 1 year+ and currently your squad is comprised of two ex-NiP players which played an important role in outperforming your team for quite some time (as stated above); moreover, you also realize you tried to buy another of NiP's players?
hmmm

_evan, seriously, stop it. Read #16 and then shut up.

"Today Wednesday 5th of September were proud to announce that the Ninjas in Pyjamas will be present in the Gamers addition of the Guinness World Records book for being the first gaming team to have a sporting agent to represent them."
Quote directly from the NiP site. My comments have nothing to do with the performances of the teams. I couldn't honestly care either way, but people like you, Naghokez just bore me with you trolling.

I reckon Rocketboy is Meng Yang but not Meng Kang?

_evan is that envy i smell ?

#18 to quote yourself:
"Shame the reason NiP are in the records has nothing to do with their squads or performances"
Right, you're not mentioning the team's performances AT ALL. Why are you trying to bring the value of the award down anyway? If SK had won it you'd be celebrating right now.

#21
What has the teams performances got to do with the "award" they received? I'm being very objective about this, it's not relevant at all and you can't look past the prospect of me "bringing the value of the award down".
Receiving an award for something trivial in gaming terms, is not "putting down" the award (or the team) they received. I just don't let something which has no relevance (how good the team was, or how good they were/are in comparison to SK) influence my opinions or comments. Makes me wonder if you even read Bens comment.
"There are several organisations that have sport agents working with them, the agency we (4K) and several other high profile teams that arnt a million miles away from this website have used for years are massive. We haven't felt the urge thus far to get ourselves in the Guinness book of records tho!"

#22 I know the performances aren't relevant. The point is, YOU are the one that brought them onto the table saying they didn't receive the award because of their performances. Everyone already knew that, why would you mention it except to take a quick shot at NiP? Please don't be more of a hypocrite.
edit: I'm off.

Find that familiar? If not just scroll up a bit to post #9 to jog your memory.

#16
haha

@26
That picture of you, it looks like you lack sleep :( are you ok?

#27
Let me add a happier picture just for you!

Naghokez prides himself too much in NiP, that he clearly can't accept which doesn't work in favour of them.
evan was obviously referring to #1 but as you can see, he/she clearly edited the post from whatever it previously was, which may have attributed to evan's response.

#28
thanks !

This is nice.

SK.swe should be in the world record books for winning everything 2003. That's more than NiP ever accomplished. sorry naghokez, not even you can troll that.

#36 then eoLithic shud be in the record books for beating them 6 out of 7 times? If u read the website of GWR i think u will find that award isnt really possible :)

#37
or maybe SK should be in the record books for winning 6 times against 0 vs team9 same year, or team9 always beating eol? Please stop the ridicilous eoL love, they blew against other teams and in tournaments. SK was the most succesful team ever.

#38 i dont love eol far from it, but i dont think SK deserve an award for that as then each team who dominated each year deserve an award. :)

#39
if there is a team that deserve to be in the record books it is SK imo. They brought esports a lot of attention.

Would of loved to have seen the comment about gosey/blogging! The users have some wit it seems :P

Off topic: Those fanboys who left SK to join NiP crew when the CS team parted have become so fucking pathetic in their comments! GL guys :) excuse me please.

Esport on guiness book records, pretty funny :)

#43 ffs! there's nothing about "reborn" in that sentence, GRR!

#36 Why would I want to deny that? I supported SK in 2003. There's no denying that SK.swe in 2003 was by far the most dominant team in CS history :) I wasn't trolling anything, just answering evan.

where can i purchase this book ?

lol stop the stupid discussion :D
2003 = SK.swe wasn't better... the rest was just worse :)

2007 = Other teams got better and it is really hard to "dominate" like SK did in 2003 so don't compare 2003 with 2007 because it's far from possible :)

the eol shit is annoying, yes okay you beat them 6 out of whatever times, but its the results at the end that count, and eoL were not in the same league as SK in 03.
Does anyone remember when Arsenal beat Man U in the prem? no but we remember who won it.

#48
"2003 = SK.swe wasn't better... the rest was just worse :)"
dumbest analogy ever. Please dont post more.

#50 not at all, even heaton said in an interview that other players were bad at the game back then, but now theyve all learnt :)

#51
It contradicts itself. The other teams were worse because SK.swe was better then them.

ROFLMAO owned!
The concept is true, SK.swe were legitimately better than them, it's just the game has developed and others have become better.

Haha, there are so many mistakes in the e-Sports section of the book that they better start all over again and ask some knowledgeable people this time..

Wicked

My name is Meng "RocketBoy" Yang and the shootout was 15,Oct,2004...
