Memento_Mori. The tournament will run on Challonge, with its usual integration into Targetquake (read the player info). Targetquake will provide coverage and admins to run the cup.

ESA Welcomes Quakers (51 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by esdf @ 12:14 CDT, 6 June 2013 - iMsg

ELECTRONIC SPORTS ASSOCIATION (ESA) is starting it's operations today. To make things more interesting, one of the games it will feature is Quake Live.

EDIT: Due to accidentally having published the tournament before everything was sorted out (including map pool, schedules, etc), I'd just like to confirm that the game mode will be TDM. A more detailed post on the first tournament will greet you on Monday/Tuesday here on ESR, along with possibility to sign your teams up for it, etc. Sorry for the confusion!

Why Quake? Well, seeing how our dearest Q is the granddaddy of e-sports it just wouldn't be fair to leave it out. You'll get the chance to compete for points, cash and prestige in ESA's tournaments and to participate you only need to sign up on ESA's homepage.

During next week there will be extensive information about our first cup posted here, so watch out! It's time to start signing up because the cups start as early as July and you don't want to be doing everything on the last day now, do you? :P

Check out the links below for more info on what ESA is about and more details on it's tournaments. Also, you're welcome to idle/perform in
