Profile of Marcus2389

no

Ciao e benvenuto

My first nickname was Mark the Great (yes I know what you are thinking, at those times I was really impressed by Alexander the Great >.> ). When I played Might and Magic VI for the first time one of the characters was named Marcus and I liked that name so much that I wanted to use it too.

When COH1 came out I called myself Marco2389 (2389 stands for 2nd March 1989, my birthday). I was eventually forced to create a new one for a silly reason: when I bought COHpposing Fronts one of my friends wanted to try the campaign and I gave him my copy. When Relic recognized there were 2 accounts with the same CD-key they asked both me and the other guy who was the owner of the copy and he stupidly pressed the "I'm the owner" button, getting my account suspended.

Since I had the real/physical copy of the game I was able to convalidate it by putting the DVD inside the PC and I was able to create a new account. (Thanks to Relic support)

My plan was to name myself [RA]Marcus2389 but since [ ] were not accepted I ended up creating what is still considered one of the worst looking accounts of the whole COH1 history: XxRAxXMarcus2389 (where XxRAxX was the tag xD)

Today I'm just Marcus2389 ^^

+1 on this.

and SNF, coh2.org, Ami and awa59noob > ESL

Agreed with Schewi. I don't get this tho, it sounds very disrespectful to the work IpKai did since he alone represented the whole ESL COH2 section. He spent a lot of hours on ESL with no return and he always got little to no collaboration and partecipation from the community (way way less than what instead we got on COH2.ORG).

He also got no help from Relic organizing past events and he got no recognition in the recent blog post even tho he contributed with a lot of tournaments.

Sorry but I don't get all the fuss about getting ESL a new COH2 section, the old one was getting less than 50% events partecipation and nobody ever stepped in to help IpKai.
