A new Quake2 year is finally approaching; the 2012/2013 season! We celebrate this by launching the sign ups phase for the European Duel League #11!

The EDL is a Deathmatch 1on1 competition - the biggest Q2 event left on the planet - open for players from all corners of the world. Non-Europeans normally play their games on home/away servers, i.e. an American may play one map in the US and one in Europe, but despite having to endure a little higher ping once in a while, it works out splendidly!

The league features several divisions, meaning there's a place for players of all skill levels. Even the most sporadic, rusty and unsolemn quakers are guaranteed fun! So no excuse not to join in! Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask! There's always helpful people on IRC!


Sign ups deadline: Wednesday, September 26th, 24.00 CET.

Here's a heads-up from the Quake2 scene... The European Duel League started its 10th season in September and has now finally come to its last games. This season was the first to feature four different divisions, and also a considerable deal of prize money. Perhaps this 15 year old game still has something to offer after all?

On Thursday, June 14th, at 21.00 CET, the Division 1 Grand Final will take place. It will be a battle of wits and grits between veteran powerhouse PURRI and the new kid on the block, David. Best out of seven maps - no mercy, no remorse.

The 2011/2012 Quake2 season is upon us, with all its wonders and glory, and with all the work that is being done within the scene at this moment, the state of things are without a doubt getting a serious upswing this year!

The European Duel League just launched its sign ups phase, along with new rules and a new layout. This season will feature 2-3 divisions and prize money in each division, meaning there'll be plenty of fun and reward for players of all levels of skill!

Players are also responding well to the fact that they now get to vote for the map pool. So shake off the rust and pick up the game you left behind all those years ago! Q2 still rocks socks off - and you're missing out on all that rock n roll!
