The Organizing Committee for the ESWC 2010 Finals decided to grant exceptional autoberths for players and teams left without a qualifier in their countries. This should compensate for the lack of partners in some countries during the resconstruction of the qualifying circuits.

This leaves 3 slots for the following players who recently attended LAN events (list isn't exhaustive): DaHanG, noctis, stermy, Jibo, chance, Griffin, Vo0, k1llsen, calipt, draven or spammah.
The deadline to send the applications is fixed to the 28th of May. The players will be selected according to their "achievements, motivation and capacity to attend" the event. The list of selected ones will be announced on May 31th.
"Invited participants will only have to pay their travel to Paris. ESWC will provide complimentary accommodation (bed and breakfast) from June 30th (arrival) to July 5th (departure). All invited players and teams will have to set their journey and secure their travel before June 10th."

Tonight the ASUS ENC 2010 Quakelive TDM will see its Group A Round 1 games played. One of them will be featured on ESL TV and covered by the British duo made of 2GD and Joe: Austria vs Iceland. Here are the 3 matches planned for the evening:
Yesterday evening, id Software just announced a large update for Quakelive on next Tuesday. As no further details were released, we can just assume so far that only the downtime will be big! The updates usually start around 14:00 CST, but no information were given on this one excepted for a duration of 4-6 hours downtime.
If you are European and you have a match planned on Tuesday evening, it's time to cancel and find a new date!
- Player Invite System - You can now invite players to join you in-game and/or accept fellow players invites. We have added a right-click context menu on the friends list which provides up to three options to perform on a friend: View Profile, Invite to Match, Join Match.
- Invite Monitor - Added the "Invite Monitor" which appears above the Duel Detective when you have pending match invitations.
- Blocked Player Improvements - All chat from players on your 'Blocked Players' list is now muted. This includes both in-game chat (chat, team chat, attacker chat, targeted chat) and XMPP chat (friends list chat, tell_buddy chat).
- Relaxed Spawn System - Minor adjustment to the spawn system algorithms, in many cases one additional spawn point will be included in the list of available spawn points. Further testing and improvements are planned.
- Global Broadcast Announcement System - Added support for delivering broadcast messages from the backend system to all users online. This will be used to inform players of important system information, such as when the site will be going down for maintenance.
- Match Browser Optimizations - Improved the performance of the Match Browser by limiting the number of requests it needs to make to the backend when hovering over matches. In the general case this change makes it so there are 1/6th as many backend requests made.
- Rich Presence Data - Increased the responsiveness of friends in-game icons. The method of reporting changes in status have been highly optimized and now update 'live'.
- Firefox 3.6.3+ Support - Fixed plug-in issues with newer versions of Firefox on Windows.
Start a Match System
(this system is in limited beta and is not widely available yet)
- Match Visibility Modes - Added support for running private matches in multiple access modes: Public (all players), Friends Only, and Invitation only. The server will only be visible on the match browser to players who have access to join.
- Server Invite System - Added support for choosing friends who should be sent an automatic invite when the match has started.
- Custom Map Rotation - Added support for setting up a map rotation to be played on your private server.
- Improved Error Handling - Improved error handling in match startup so that users are informed why a match may have failed to start (Data Center overloaded, for example).
- Vicinity Locator - Added support for choosing "In My Vicinity" as a match startup location which will automatically choose an ideal data center based on your current GEOIP location.
- Optimized Game Invitation Strings - Join URL invite string length reduced for efficiency.
- Tiered Permission Groups - Organizations may spawn multiple servers at once without joining into matches. Individuals may spawn one server at a time and the server becomes available for others to join once the owner has joined the server.
Misc Fixes
- Fixed the calculations used for shotgun accuracy so that it is now calculated per pellet rather than per firing. If you fire a shotgun blast at an opponent and 2 of the 20 pellets hit, you will have a SG accuracy of 10% (because 10% of the pellets landed) rather than 100% (because a hit was obtained).
- Added heading images to the Match Browser indicating what matches are being displayed. This can be one of the following: Public Matches, Private Matches, Invited Matches.
- Changed the formatting of the tweet used in the "Share" button when choosing to share match results on Twitter.
- Fixed a grammatical error on match stats "Least Deaths" -> "Fewest Deaths"
- Fixed an issue where the "Forgot Your Password" page was not working.
- Fixed an issue where the standalone login page was sometimes not working (this page is mainly used when following a "Join Match" link before being logged into QUAKE LIVE)
- Fixed an issue where sometimes players on your friends list weren't showing up with the proper head icon, the proper cased name, or clan tag.
- Numerous plug-in updates to support current and future functionality.

"Weve launched new experimental weekend servers, newly coined DevPick servers (the question marks confused a few people last week ). This weeks DevPick servers are now running with low gravity, increased speed, and altered weapon settings.
These weapon settings include a weaker railgun and grenade, both with more knockback; a weaker lightninggun that pulls players toward you, and a plasmagun with more kick. These DevPick Low Grav servers are now up and running in Clan Arena and Capture the Flag gametypes.
