What are your thought on the article?

And this stood out:

"It grew out of the same enthusiast fan-spirit that brought Rob Walker and John Cook to build the original Team Fortress out of their love for Quake.

What you guys think of the final? noctis obvious mvp, dm20 was pretty lame and also that it was bo3, personally wanted to see dm6 between those 2 teams but other 2 maps were enjoyable...

Why does the Swedish tdm team suddenly suck... losing to seed #4 finland and losing a map to Ukraine, what happened Sweden.. last NC 3rd place now looks like Sweden isn't making it out of the group stage, not that their duelers have been top noch either lately.

How to play back QL demos


linkoo vs weird IEM4 dno if anyone wants to see this but whatever

Spawns
qzdm6, ok what happened? They added a few extra spawns(wat?) f.e the extra spawn in the lg stairs and at bridge. There are like 20spawnpoints roughly now. Am I the only one that notices f.e when I kill someone at mega and I have let's say 60hp RA is coming up in 7seconds I can never be absolutely sure where on the map he will spawn because the spawn system is based on where I stand when he presses mouse1(+attack) so it's harder to take the risk of him spawning on one of the spawnpoints at the LG stairs.

How dm6 is played
In my opinion how dm6 is played is a bit monotonous and it's not only boring to spec also to play, and no this is not because I am particulary bad at the map itself it's so simple in my opinion and it's more about aim than timing(ok you have to time roughly ra/ya/mh in a routine which doesn't take a lot of effort. hence the added spawns and the new spawnsystem which is hard to get sort of a lock-down on.

What could be changed
I liked some of the ideas 2GD/Carmac had about changing dm6 specially the hypothetical teleporter where the current grenade launcher is, add more armors to the map(like 2GD mentioned at the lower shotgun) which would also bring up a lot of interesting fights.

Summary
dm6 is monotonous and simple, noobs love it. I think we need some new maps or at least change the current dm6. And by change I don't mean move the spawnpoints...


I want both opinions from someone who's against dm6 and give his reasons, I don't really have alot of thoughts on how to change dm6 but also from someone who loves it and doesn't want anything changed.

Next Wednesday the 23rd, EQLT will host a team duel quick cup, which each team will only be allowed to have 3 players per team + a sub player. Meaning that the captain announces before who plays what map and with randomized map rotation it won't want as long to finish. Teams are obligated to play on a server which is most fair. The cup will be played with bo5 matches and use 8slot Single Elimination Bracket.

Be sure to be on #EQLT at 11:00 CST to check-in after you've signed your team up.


QLTV should be able to shoutcast as many matches as possible. More info on EQLT's website. And if you need any help or questions about the cup don't hesitate to ask in #EQLT.

Update: Contact vG^linKoo on #EQLT with your captains name, players list, etc to sign up!

Yes you heard it,

#sponti is a new chan which will have servers all over Europe and you can !add to whatever CTF server is fitting to your ping or preference.

Psi founded this chan yesterday and we already have access to 3 servers, French, German and Icelandic.

hazrd is working on the website which will give you news coverage/updates/cups

Admins at the moment are;

We're all looking forward to seeing you play on the official EUROPEAN osp ctf channel

P.P.S
If you live in Sweden, UK, Germany or anywhere in Europe and want to donate a server that would be very well recieved.

As some of you know we've been planing a 2v2 nationscup and here are groups and seeds.

UPDATE: If you can't play your match/matches on Sunday then you have to play the remaining ones the next Sunday (19th)

Sunday the 12th @ 18.00CET you'll play your 4 matches in groups and we'll post results and see the 12 teams that will play in 2 groups of 6 and the bottom 2 of each group will then be disqualified with an ending 8-slot brackets double elimination. Matches will be bo3 except the last match which will be bo5.

Check the site for fancy groups.

VQ3Pickup are running a VQ3 2v2 Nations Cup, each country are allowed to participate with a maximum amount of 3 teams and 3 players+coach in each team. The gameplay of choice is vq3.

All matches will be played on EURO servers.

The mappool will consist of pro-q3dm6, ztn3dm1, ospdm11, pro-q3tourney7, ospdm6/q3dm7. The order of the maps will be decided by a simple cointoss (cv random 2 -> heads/tails), where the winner picks first map etc.

Hopefully we'll get this cup started before May, be sure that you've signed up by then!


Visit #vq3p.cups on irc.quakenet.org pm hazrd or linkoo to sign up.

We're proud to announce our first 5v5 CQ3 CTF cup. We decided to go with CQ3 because VQ3 tends to become quite based on aim. The weapons in CQ3 are slightly tweaked and the movements are very similar excepted for the ramp jumps from CPM. The map pool will consist of q3wcp1, q3wcp9, q3wcp22, q3wcp15, q3w3, q3ctf2 and q3wcp5. All games will be played on EU servers.

One player in each team should be assigned as leader, whose task is quite simple: Schedule one match a week, take screenshots afterwards and send them to one of the operators in #vq3pickup / #vq3p.cups. Those screens will later be uploaded on the website.

Update: 2 out of 8 slots are still empty for the cup. We would love to get two more teams in order to make a clean 8-teams bracket. Feel free to apply by contacting an admin in #vq3p.cups!

Website: vq3pickup.matrix.is

Scheduled: 12:00 CST, 22 December 2008 to 18:30 CST, 22 December 2008
Schedule: Passed
