What Quake could learn from Smash. (8 comments)

( Article: Gaming)

Posted by GMT @ 13:01 CST, 7 March 2015 - iMsg

I've written a two part series looking at what makes the Smash community so great, and how the Quake community can learn from it, over on FPS Pulse.

The first part is an introduction just setting the base for the real meat and veg, part 2. Part 2, titled "The How", will feature a full interview with Apex 2015 champion ZeRo + statements from TaFoKiNts and Nintendude. I'll be tackling the specifics of the Smash community's greatness, and the Quake community's downfalls.

The Quake community isn't perfect, and the Smash one gets a lot of shit right. In my opinion, we should be looking to emulate a lot of their philosophies. Part 2 will release on the 10th of March.

Carnage CTF League (40 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by h8m3 @ 18:14 CST, 5 March 2015 - iMsg

Since European CTF League died before even happening Carnage is proud to make it's first attempt at organizing a Russian CTF league starting on 9th of March. The league suprisingly gathered quite a few teams, some of them barely ever played CTF, but being motivated by QuakeCon CTF Tournament they decided to practice this mode.

Event: #TDMPickup Draft

Scheduled: 10:00 CDT, 15 March 2015 to 17:00 CDT, 15 March 2015
Schedule: Passed

At #tdmpickup, we have many reasons to celebrate: played our 40 000th game last month, HoQ TDM season just finished, QuakeCon 2015 featuring TDM... This calls for yet another #tdmpickup Draft Tournament!

Our 10th Cup will start at 11:00 CDT, 15 March 2015. Signups will start at 10:00 CDT, 15 March 2015 and will last for one hour.

Many of you complained about the SE format in the past, so in a change from previous tournaments, #10 will feature a best-of-1 Loser's Bracket for all teams except WB finalists.

All players are invited to participate, but remember, each player has to play at least 10 TDM pickups prior to the tournament. Please warm up by playing with us all week!

N.A. QuakeLive Duel Cup #6.5 March 2015 (20 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by flair @ 22:57 CST, 2 March 2015 - iMsg

Scheduled: 19:00 CST, 7 March 2015 to 23:00 CST, 7 March 2015
Schedule: Passed

The Duel Cup brings you the first of two duel cups this March and sign ups are open for the first of these! Despite there not being a prize for this event we've already got a nice healthy bracket going already. Games will begin promptly at 19:00 CST, 7 March 2015. Important announcement post cup as well just to address the future cups.

Format

64 Player Double Elimination. Map selection for Best of Three (upper bracket) is pick/pick and best of one (lower bracket) is obviously drop/drop. 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: "get in touch with admins". 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: PICK PICK, drop drop, drop drop, tie-breaker

5.) Lower Bracket games are Best of One sets: drop drop, drop drop, drop drop, play last

6.) Grand Finals is a Best of Five/Seven (please read for further clarification)
The upper bracket finalist is assumed to have proven themselves by not dropping a set throughout the tournament, and therefore if they take 3 map wins before their opponent they win the grand finals. However if the player from the lower bracket takes 3 map wins first then the best of five becomes a best of seven. Map selection remains the same starting with a coin-toss. Player who wins the coin-toss may pick the first map or pass the choice to their opponent. Subsequent picks are then chosen the loser of the most recent map.

6.) Server settings can be copied from below to make a Texas server with password: duel

{"maps":["bloodrun"],"cvars":{"g_gametype":1,"premium":0,"sv_hostname":"DuelCup.com Texas Server","g_password":"duel","g_complaintLimit":0,"g_timeoutCount":3,"g_timeoutLen":60,"web_location":6}}

No additional modifications are allowed. The only values you may change are the maps, server name, server password, and server location. Do not make premium servers. There is no point and it only causes issues with players needing invites. If you simply use a password and provide the information in #duelcup irc on quakenet I assure you no one will bother you. Always provide an admin a link to your game and the password BEFORE you ready up. We can avoid having to ask you mid game accidentally. Please provide your server information into the #duelcup chat. 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! Please use IRC

QL Funds raising initiative on Indiegogo (42 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by Tonks @ 15:53 CST, 1 March 2015 - iMsg

Overfrag crew started a Crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. Goal is to raise starting money needed for organising Quake live instagib tournaments (located in Europe) and prizes. Since there are also no public servers for any instagib mode, money will also go for self-managed server bots that will control the games.
