heres some explaining. They linked the championship match between gorge and malcolm from ut2003 to both Ut2004 and UC2. Gorge is still carriing his one tournament victory in uc 2 meaning he still hasnt been defeated yet. the same situation is for ut2004 where he is yet to be beaten. this also states that the tournaments were both the tourny right after ut2003. aslo saying they happend at the same time which is the next tournament, (what i mean by this is its the next tourny not the next year). The biggest hint of this being after ut2003 well uc2 being after is that it states malcolms status of finaly being defeated in the privious tournament and the fact he was injured. it also states he never fully recovered and there wasnt another tourny before uc2 on that story side. This also intails ut2007 will have its story put after 2 choices. after ut2004 or uc 2. which we are all hoping its after UT2004 at least im hopeing that.
from a Developer on the official epic boards posted 2 months ago:
"Just for clarification, here is the timeline of events (chronological order, not game release date)
Unreal 2
Unreal 1
UT
UT2003 / UC1
UT2004
Envy
UC2
Off the top of my head (I'm not sure of the EXACT dates) UC2 is supposed to take place like 2 decades AFTER UT2004. That's why Malcolm and Gorge are much older, and the extra years in between provide plenty of time for the whole Necrification of Brock and Lauren.
Neither Lauren nor Brock remembers their past (or even each other, really) which exaplins why the Thundercrash team-up with Malcolm has sort of fallen apart. I will give you a bit of a spoiler, however, and let you know that there's a chance they could all be reuniting somewhere in UC2... "
"In the STORY, UC2 occurs a couple decades after UC1. In REAL LIFE, its only been a few years"
linkage so you can see im not pulling it out of my ass lol :

The UC Universe does parallel that of the UT universe. While I believe that there are a few minor discrepancies, UT2003 and UC are essentially the same storyline. In UC2, the Ascension Rites are seen as a qualifying tournament for the Grand Liandri Tournament (i.e. Unreal Tournament). While it is primarily a Nakhti event, offworlders are competing in the Ascension Rites for practice and qualification, because this is the first year that the Rites are being sponsored, and Liandri wants to get some of its "star players" some exposure. But now I'm babbling, and giving too much away!
"Before UT : Xan Kriegor
UT 99 : Malcolm
UT 2k3/UC1 : Gorge
UT 2k4 : [WRONG GUESS, SEE ABOVE] "
IM REALLY SORRY FOR BEING OFF TOPIC
