It has been almost two weeks since successful draft tournament #2, with more than 100 players attending (qlstats.info). This made us think about another tournament already, which will be happening on Sunday 17th of February. But there are matters which need to be discussed and we would like to know your opinion about them.

We can all agree that having BO1 in the first round is unfair towards some teams, so we would like to push the signups time from previous 11:00 CDT to 10:00 CDT, and start the tournament one hour earlier (11:00 CDT) and make sure that all the games are played as BO3. Feel free to comment about the earlier start.

Another thing to discuss is the maplist. We were pretty happy with the previous maplist (Dreadful Place, Hidden Fortress, Limbus, Purgatory, Terminatria), but unfortunatelly the last map on the list hasn't been played a single time. That's why we would like you to vote in the comments on the 5th map in the maplist. Your vote can either go to Grim Dungeons, Intervention or Terminatria.

For those who don't know what a draft tournament is, you can find an explanation in our previous newspost about #tdmpickup draft 2. See you @ #tdmpickup and !add.

tv.holysh1t.net to be replaced (20 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by !nFerNo @ 18:27 CST, 29 January 2013 - iMsg

Originally posted on Holysh1t.net. This ESR version has a few more details.

Now that Own3d is rumored to go down, a few things needed to be done. First, me and Lashknife sat together to try and save as many vods we could. We currently have 816 VODs on Own3d, but all VODs predating 1/1/2011 don't load anymore due to problems at Own3d. This results in a loss of about 600 VOD's. The remaining 200 have been safely reuploaded to Youtube. You can find them at www.youtube.com/groundzerovods.

The other issue was tv.holysh1t.net: we didn't really look at it in a way we used to. I use the channel from time to time to stream something for a Dutch site or mostly what I feel like streaming, and once in a while I throw some Quake Live into the mix. Due to problems with Windows 8 and QL, I am unable to stream more Quake Live until Id Software does something about the performance. I don't have the option to revert to Windows 7. Regardless, tv.holysh1t.net has been put to rest and in it's place will be Ground-Zero TV.

A small update in this area is that I have bought a capcard yesterday and as soon as it's arrived I will be able to play/spec QL on my laptop and capture it with my PC. I'd say CTF needs some love, so I will try to focus on the pickups and any tournaments around. Please tell me where and when something of interest is being played.

Th GZTV project started over 2 years ago to rid ourselves of the bad sounding name that was "holy shit". During this project life got in the way (job offerings, kids, marriages) and all but 1 had left Holysh1t. Now I am opening Ground-Zero.TV, a platform that I hope to build on and that will feature Quake Live primarily from my side, but not limited to. I am attracting some casters from other games. For now, I have put up a placeholder page, and me and Lashknife are working on a site. For those who didn't know yet, I can be "booked" (freely) and I will gladly convert demos into VODs and put them on our Youtube channel.

This should bring you up to speed about what has been going on lately with Holysh1t. I am still looking for help! I have a fulltime job, a household, any help is welcome: to maintain holysh1t.net, post news, streamers, casters for GZTV, you are all welcome for a try-out. If you'd like to help out, please mail to inferno [at] holysh1t [dot] net.

Winning Moscow lan 17 was not just a guest appearance as many of us thought: after schoolling reigning DH champion, Cooller claimed he's back into the competitive quake. He's not going to attend every one online cup, but when decent lan happens, Anton "102.Cooller" Singov will be there.
