Last week we had a different final than we have come to use in the North America Sunday Cups. ZeRo4 managed to beat rapha to head into the final, where he met DaHanG. The latter managed to win in the end though. You can sign up for the Sunday Summer Cup #2 already, which will start at 13:00 CDT.

Unfortunately we or our third party service provider could not fix the issues in time. We have decided to cancel the cup. We apologies to the players and spectators we have dedicated their day to playing and watching FACEIT. We will be back next week with something special to make up for it. Again, we are truly sorry.

Sampler Matches Updated - Harvester (10 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by Teen Queen @ 07:01 CDT, 5 July 2013 - iMsg

The sampler matches have been updated, Harvester is making its third appearance, this time on Cold Cathode

Harvester is a team-based game mode that hails from the original Team Arena release. Fragging the other team will cause a colored skull to emit from an obelisk located in the middle of the arena. Grabbing the enemy's skull, and running them to the enemy's base will score you a point for each skull captured. Grabbing your teammate's skulls will deny them from the enemy. The first team to reach 15 skulls captured is the winner!

The Sampler servers are available in limited capacity, so look for matches named "Harvester Sampler" and enjoy!

AlexeyA:
"Hi everybody! My name is Aleksey. Beginning with February 2013 I am sponsoring the 125 FPS QuakeLive League (http://125fps.com) and provide almost all of the prize money from my own pocket. Why do I do this? Because like many of us I played the first Quake and even Duke Nukem)) on lan during my childhood. Time goes by and I’m a grown-up man now with all the obligations that come along with it. Yet still I want the Quake community to flourish and reward me and all fans of the game with great matches, tournaments, reports etc.
When there are no tournaments with prize money the interest of players and fans decreases and that’s what I’m trying to combat. I’m sure I’m not the only one. The community has a lot of adult, successful people, as well as many young people who fell in love with the game.
I want to ask the community to help build on the foundation I and the 125fps team have laid and increase the prizes in the coming leagues. Fundraising is nothing new and is employed to collect funds for all kinds of events. I’m sure that many of you will be happy to chip in a sum that’s admissible for yourselves and even happier to follow the tournament you yourself made a contribution to!
Below are various ways to donate money for prize funds of 125fps.com leagues.
The reputation of the 125fps leagues guarantees for a fair distribution of funds. I myself will continue to contribute about 31500p(~1000$) every month.
I propose the following prize money distribution (31500RUR + donations)
<>
15% of the donations will go towards the organization and coverage of the league, in particular recruitment of streamers.
Additionally I suggest limiting the prize pool of every league by 3500$. If there is more than 2500$ worth of donations the surplus funds get transfered to the next league. The biggest donators will be listed below every leagues prize pool (voluntary).
The fundraising will start with the announcement of the next league."

Popusa 3D is a Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (JA) trickjumping cinematic spectacular created by movie mastah

Ent. Features

Ent,

Alpha,

Gelad,

Leonardo, and myself.

This is a 3D video, utilizing the magic of side-by-side stereopair. To watch in 3D you need a 3D video player (for example, Stereoscopic Player) and a 3D device (for example, anaglyph glasses). Included is a 2D version as well. Enjoy the movie!

JA is based on the Q3 engine, strafe jumps and rockets included. Toss in some more weapons, force powers, and lightsabers: you've got JA! Physics and trickjumping techniques are bit different, but you are smart people and should be able to follow along.
