The groups drawings will be announced on 28th December and it will be broadcasted online, because I don't want you to miss this experience. Another important date is the beginning of the whole tourney and it will be on 4th January.
This year we are going to organize some groups awards like we did last year and we hope to make another movie of our Nations Cup. If you want to see the movie from last year, you have to wait for end of January.
The 
Quake Live TDM 4v4 Nations Cup is approaching and with us as hosts, it has become a pleasant tradition. If your country wants to participate, simply choose your captain, who's responsibility is to pick and register the lineup. For further details about this process, please check our website www.quakequickcup.com.
The current title holders are from 
France, they came on top vs team 
Russia, followed by 
Sweden on the 3rd place. I have a feeling this years NC cup will be something special and I am definitely looking forward to see all the top players back in action. Hope you guys do too. You can also take a look at the hall of fame or read some more info about previous nation cups.

Best team: France. Despite losing one map against Iceland, they seemed very stable and in good shape. First position in their group was well deserved.
Worst team: 
Slovenia. Going through some problems at the beginning, this team was able to play all the matches, but ended up losing the games by huge score difference.
Most reliable team: Germany. Doz3r has proven as a very capable captain and scheduled all of his team matches precisely.
Least reliable team: 
Belgium, without any doubt. This team wasnt able to communicate even with admins and the avarage response time was a matter of days.
Best match: There were several adepts to this award, but we chose Russia vs 
United Kingdom. I hope youll agree with me that this was a special game.
Worst luck: United Kingdom. They won 3 matches, but didnt advance to the playoffs. This is what you call a bad luck.
Most whining team: The behaviour of some 
Croatian players was close to what you would expect to see in a special school schoolyard. Bad language, inappropriate manner, whining, ragequitting
and more. We all know the names that ensured this "award" is going to Croatia.
Most valuable player: Deus, the leader and flagbearer of the United Kingdom.
Biggest surprise: Game between Poland and Holland. The dutch team won over the favorite and many ESR betters went bunkrupt.
Best admin: Id like say THANKS to the whole admin team for your great work. But since this award can only have one winner, Im gonna choose eJo, for his match scheduling and GTV work.

If there's a problem I will decide when the match is to be played. Experienced eJo will take care about GTV (as he did in the 2v2 cup recently - my thanks for your work eJo).
Also, if you want to be a part of the upcoming Nation's Cup 2009 movie (made by Silu), send your demos right after your match is over to siluhs@yahoo.com in (use player_time_map.dm_68 format).
