A new series of online Quake Live tournaments has been announced by a team of enthusiasts inspired by the well known 125 FPS Cups. The goal of the new team is to bring some attention back to QL and have some fun like in the good old days.

The league starts on this Sunday, October 13. The first stage is 10 weekly tournaments with different map pools, where the participants are going to collect points and ~100$ for the top 3 places. At the end, 16 players with the most points will fight in the final tournament for ~500$ and respect.

The Multiplayer Doom Federation (MDF) is back! Originally launched in 2018, MDF was created to blend the competitive intensity of online Doom with the sheer fun of community-driven play. Our goal has always been to create an environment that welcomes everyone—from longtime veterans to complete newbies. Through countless events, tournaments, mapping projects, podcasts, and streams, we achieved that vision.

In 2022, MDF evolved into Doom Central (DC), where many of you joined us for a variety of events and projects, and for that, we’re incredibly grateful. Now, we believe the timing is right to bring MDF back to its roots.

You may remember our wide range of tournaments, covering every game mode imaginable: FFA, Duel, CTF, 3-way CTF, Dominatrix, TDM, TLMS, LMS, and more. Many of you also discovered us through our annual prize pool event, Take The Crown. And, to my surprise, I've even heard from people who still listen to our Doom Is Dead? Podcast!

As we return, you can expect many of these classic events, but with a renewed focus on community-driven initiatives and projects. We’re especially excited to announce Take The Crown: Horde Edition, happening on **November 2nd**, complete with a prize pool! Check out the attached poster for all the details. Get ready to take on the Horde and prove your skills!

Hi everyone,

This autumn we are hosting a QuakeLive CTF 4v4 league, just as in the good old days. The main difference with lots of other CTF-related events is the format: it is not a draft but a team event: you must find an existing team to join or create one yourself. There are already about 40 people ready to play, and we already have three teams.

Region: Europe
Duration: depends on the number of teams and the pace, from one month.
Schedule: Flexible. The league starts on the first week of September. End date - TBD.
Format: Groups, then double elimination.
Prize pool: 1000+ euros
Divisions: Depending on the teams registered, by the agreement with the others, we will have either one division or two. The first division will consist of the best players based on the community knowledge and/or the House Of Quake ratings at the time before the league starts; the second will be of the teams, the players of which are less experienced and/or have lower ratings.
Team roster limit: Only five people are allowed in a team.
Maps: q3wcp9, japanesecatles, infinity, troubledwaters, ironworks.
Team limit: ~
Servers: Custom private servers.
Streamers: TBD
Sponsors: TBD
Rules: TBD
Discord: https://discord.gg/qd8Krx7kTk

House of Quake will hold a Capture the Flag League starting in early May. This is a new edition of a well-established competitive game mode and we would love as many hands on deck as we can!

Region: EU

Map pool: Spider crossings, Japanese Castles, The Dukes Garden, Ironworks, Troubled Waters, Infinity, Courtyard

Format: TBD

Teamsize: 5

For those who are interested, I would invite you to join the House of Quake discord server where there is an ongoing discussion in the CTF-league channel regarding the exact league format - forming the teams (self-initiating or draft), tournament format (Swiss format, Double round robin) and other possible settings.

There are ongoing negotiations with sponsors, but as of far, there is no prize pool.

On Thursday, 25th of April, there will be a final announcement of the league's format. Registration opens this Sunday and will close on the 28th of April. Until then, I invite you to join the discord and help us with the decision!

vengeuR discusses his ability to beat rapha, his strange friendship with RAISY who he doesn't practice with, what makes k1llsen's style and attitude so unique and how the Italian player almost lost a family member before he had to play the World Championship final!

Sessions Complete Season 3 is now available on YouTube!

Peep the 'Sessions' series finale right here!

Not so much of an announcement or a recent release, but more of a reminder that there is actually a lively community playing the game that invented Overwatch. It is, of course, Team Fortress mod from the oldest instalment of Quake, now available as a standalone game that requires you do nothing but slap the download link.

Most notable features of the modernised game client are multi platform support (Win, Linux) and support for potat pcs that is bound to make our friends behind the modern day Iron Curtain happy (they even got #russia on discord!). Other than that, it's all down to the community which is hosting 2v2 & 4v4 TF leagues, ladders and overall keeps the game alive either through constant development or daily pickup games.

If you're interested in pugging, first step would be to hop on to the website and grab the client and optional files. Next up, sign in to the website via discord and grab your token. Run the game client and paste the line in to console. Congrats, you're ready to play! Hop on to the discord server and sign yourself up for a few games. And in true quaker fashion, don't watch the tutorials on how to play (because you're the best player!) and simply annoy the rest of your team mates for the day.
