ROCCAT backs 102 to QuakeCon 2015 (166 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by h8m3 @ 11:39 CDT, 9 April 2015 - iMsg

Event: QC15

ROCCAT Studios, the Hamburg-based manufacturer of competition gaming peripherals, today announces that Team 102 headed by famous Russian Quaker Anton "CoolleR" Singov will participate in the 20th anniversary QuakeCon under the tag of Team ROCCAT.102. Team 102 announced recently that those interested in supporting them on their road to QuakeCon 2015 could do so through the crowd-funding resourced Indiegogo.

"The Russian ROCCAT team picked up on this straight away" - says Rene Korte, founder and CEO of ROCCAT, - "and without even a second thought we decided to support CoolleR and his team at QuakeCon 2015 in Dallas. CoolleR is a legendary gamer well known internationally, and we’re delighted to follow the performances of Team ROCCAT.102 at this renowned event. It’s great to see such a gaming institution continue to host such top level Quake action."

The partnership will not be limited to just a tag; most of the players on the team will also play with ROCCAT devices that they’ve picked themselves. Donators who supported the team on Indiegogo will still all receive their perks

Team ROCCAT.102 QuakeCon lineup:

Anton "CoolleR" Singov
Alexander "Latrommi" Dolgov
Michael "421" Lozhkin
Pavel "Pavel" Fomkin

N.A. Quake Live Duel Cup #8 Apr. 2015 (34 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by flair @ 02:18 CDT, 7 April 2015 - iMsg

Scheduled: 17:00 CDT, 19 April 2015 to 23:00 CDT, 19 April 2015
Schedule: Passed

There have been a lot of familiar faces popping up in North America. With all the QuakeCon hype filling the air it was bound happen! However we've still got a few months before the big LAN so there is still time to squeeze in a North American Duel Cup or two. On Sunday April 19th at 17:00 CDT it doesn't matter if you're a familiar face, an unknown, or an infamous rival or the former. You are all invited to the eighth installment of the NA DuelCup.

In the interest of time there will be a slight change to our format. The lower bracket will continue to be Best-of-One matches. The lower bracket finals (last game of the lower bracket) will be a Best-of-Three. The big change comes in the upper bracket. The first two rounds of the event will be Best-of-One. It is not until the third round that Best-of-Three is to be used. Good Luck and thank you for Quaking.

Format

64 Player Double Elimination. Map selection for Best of Three is pick/pick and best of one is (obviously) drop/drop.

IMPORTANT FORMAT CHANGE FROM LAST MONTH
In the interest of time there will be a slight change to our format.
The lower bracket will continue to be Best-of-One matches.
The lower bracket finals (last game of the lower bracket) will be a Best-of-Three.
The big change comes in the upper bracket. The first two rounds of the event will be Best-of-One.
The third round that Best-of-Three is to be used.

Common topics Relating to rules and guidelines are below and full details are here.

1.) Occasionally someone will ask "I don't have 3 days and 300 duels played! Can I still play?" and the answer is: "probably, but you should get in touch with me first". This rule exists to deter aliasing so the tournaments can be seeded properly.

2.) In a "Pick-Pick" tournament the players each pick a map from the pool, and then drop maps until one remains. The map that remains will server as a tie breaker. Best of One sets still decide maps by dropping until there is a single map left to play.

3.) Type "cv cointoss" following by "heads" or "tails" into the console to see who picks/drops first. The winner of the coin toss may pass the first map drop/pick to their opponent or take it for themselves.

4.) Upper Bracket games are Best of Three sets: DROP, drop, drop, drop, pick, pick, decider

5.) Lower Bracket games are Best of One sets: DROP, drop, drop drop, drop drop, last is played

6.) Grand Finals is a Best of Seven with a one map advantage for the upper bracket finalist (this means first to four wins with the upper bracket player starting 1:0 in map score). First map pick us decided by a coin-toss, and the player who wins the coin-toss can pass the choice to their opponent. No further action is required until the first map is played as a "loser picks" format means subsequent maps are always chosen by the player coming off of the loss.

6.) Duel servers (unlike classic TDM and CTF) require no modification to the server settings and can simple be made. can be copied from below to make a server with password: duel
IMPORTANT: The only values you can modify are the maps, server name, server password, and server location. There is no point ro make premium servers as it only forces some players to need invites for a server they were going to join anyway. If you simply use a password and provide the information in #duelcup irc on quakenet no one will bother you except the streamer. On that note please remember to always provide an admin a link to your game and the password BEFORE you ready up. Server information can be put into the #duelcup chat or given to admin or streamer using the "/msg" command in IRC. Anything sent to flair in IRC is safe from the stream. note: Anything sent to flair in game is subject to show up on stream so please use IRC!
