Oops, I found them. The whole listing is here: ftp://161.184.117.156/. I think the championship match is ftp://161.184.117.156/fatal1ty-vs-ZeRo4-ztn3tourne y1-fatal1ty-w1_1.dm_66.zip or ftp://161.184.117.156/fatal1ty-vs-ZeRo4-pro-q3tour ney4-(ZeRo4)-g1v2_1.dm_66.zip.

Zero4 is very, very impressive in these damos... When one of the best players in the world is "on" it is a beautiful thing to watch =)

heh, Thresh quit...

Thresh, the guy who started Firingsquad (actually, it used to be Thresh's Firingsquad), quit about a year ago... IIRC he just wanted a change of pace, and wanted out of the hardware review business.

How to view the demos

[Viking Coder]

First, you need to have Q3 on your machine. Then, install

http://www.orangesmoothie.org/downloads/beta/osp-q uake3-0.99v3.zip

by unzipping it in your Q3 directory, with file paths preserved. Then, install

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/win32/q3po intrelease_129h_beta.exe

by running the executable and telling it where your Q3 directory is. Then, if you want to view the demos really easily, install

http://www.geekboys.org/geekplay-29/index.pl?downl oad=http://www.geekboys.org/geekplay-29/download/g eekplay-29-1.0b1.zip

by running the installer from any directory and telling it where your Q3 directory is.

Then, all you have to do is download the "demo" files from

http://stats1.zone.com/tournaments/QuakeCon-2001/s coreboard_0_0.html

By clicking on the "stats:1" link, and then scroll down, and download one of the demo files, like the file

http://stats1.zone.com/tournaments/QuakeCon-2001/d emos/fatal1ty-vs-ZeRo4-pro-q3tourney4-(ZeRo4)-g1v2 _1.dm_66.zip

for instance. Be sure to note that there are two files for every match - one from each person's point of view. Getting the file from the winner is more fun! Then, all you have to do is unzip the dm_66 file, and then double-click the dm_66 file in order to view it.

Note that these instructions worked for me, and are not necessarily going to work for you! All of this of course on a Win box.

Maybe more interesting too the European Folks here... clanbase recently released their EuroCup 3 movie.. http://www.clanbase.com/miscdl.php?did=357
The Best Q3 (and even some CS) stuff I've ever seen..

ClanBase is proud to announce 'Eurocup 3 - the movie' - 13 minutes of the most spectacular in-game action scenes (Q3 AND CS) from the EC3 LAN finals event that took place last july 14 and 15. Watch the exclusive Halflife-TV stuff, see the star players picture in picture during the game with Geist's exciting commentary, experience the god-like moves in slowmotion and other special effects that seem to be choreographed on the music, and watch out for the ending where Quake3 meets Counterstrike in the Eurocup twilight zone.
