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."

#playquake moves to #ctfpickup (26 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by smove @ 09:35 CDT, 2 June 2013 - iMsg

Since the original plans for PlayQuake couldn't be implemented we decided to move the pickup IRC channel to #ctfpickup. This channel name will fit the actual topic way better since PlayQuake has never been anything else but CTF. #playquake however will stay available for a while since one of our bots will invite everybody to the new channel.

We also want to use that opportunity to invite new players to play more CTF pickup

We would also like to thank everyone who is already using our service and supporting us. We're looking forward to having many many games in the new channel. Feel free to invite your friends to play more CTF. See you in #ctfpickup! Pizza is life.

I wrote an article about mainstream media aggression, bias and manufactured outrage. It's got a run on Independent Australia and who knows, might be the start of something sexual!

If you enjoy a good read, head on over, like and share. Thanks!

Fatal1ty in Challenge at Taipei 101 (239 comments)

( Major News: PK)

Posted by TUMULT @ 09:57 CDT, 1 June 2013 - iMsg

Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel, with a record 12 World Titles, contested in an unprecedented 5 different games is undoubtedly the world’s most successful video gamer in history. However, in recent years Fatal1y has declined to compete professionally. Instead he has focused on promoting video gaming globally via his anointed role as Gaming Ambassador, while concentrating on his Fatal1ty Gaming Gear enterprise.

But times change, and now, “Fatal1ty” has been challenged to a special Painkiller 1v1 competition by his former sparring partner

Kyle “relic” Mims. relic has called Fatal1ty out, and at stake is much more than personal pride and bragging rights – OCZ has stepped up and committed a prize of NT$300,000 (USA $10,000) to relic … if he is victorious.

Johnathan Wendel often likes to state that “FATAL1TY MEANS GAMING.” With that said, Fatal1ty has answered the challenge, and will take on relicat Taiwan’s landmark

Taipei 101 building on Thursday, June 6, 2013. In his first professional match of consequence since 2007, will Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel be ready to live up to his title as the greatest gamer in history? And obliterate relic? -OR- will relic be able to do it again? And beat Fatal1ty? … And take home a prize of NT$300,0000.
