Team WinFakts picks up Spart1e (6 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by Rickk @ 20:41 CDT, 1 August 2011 - iMsg

Its with great excitement we welcome a new player into the WinFakt family, most of you will already know of him, Quakelive player Sebastian 'Spart1e' Siira.

Sebastian joins us after a short lived stay at the now closed Next Evolution ESC after he originally left his team of 2 years fnatic.MSI. Sebastian has had great success in quakelive over the years and will be attending the upcoming Quakecon competition which takes place next week in Texas/Dallas

Quote Sebastian “Spart1e” Siira:

Just when things looks dark, there is always a light. In this case WinFakt is my light. Really looking forward to the upcoming time with WinFakt that seems to be a really nice team. Thanks for picking me up. I’d also like to thank; WinFakt, xHarbour, Bekz, Enuzi, YCN-hosting and Fragradio for their support.

We are really happy to draft in such a skilled individual and look forward to a fruitful future. Quakelive is a game we have always kept an eye on and we thought it was the perfect time to take on a new player, as you are not given the opportunity to pick up such talented players as Sebastian everyday, but we are glad to bring him on board and help him attend and play at the upcoming Quakecon competition

Quote Team WinFakts management:

We had the plans to enter the Quakelive scene’s quite a while, but never found a suitable player for Team WinFakt. Out of sudden Spart1e got released from Next Evolution. ESC as the organization collapsed which was a pretty good timing for us. Therefore we contacted Spart1e who seemed to be interested in the offer. We’re happy that we came to a agreement, and we’re happy that have such a talented player onboard. We’d like to thank all our sponsors for their support and thrust in Team Winfakt.

Zhu admits cheating online and confesses (80 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by dem0n @ 18:52 CDT, 1 August 2011 - iMsg

I have been talking to a good friend on comms and he finally confessed to me what was going on. I'm thankful he decided to confess it and I want to thank him for the trust he has gave me. This letter has been given to me a few minutes ago as he wanted me to post it as soon as possible on ESR. I will let you guys have your own opinion on a guy who, whatever happens, I will regret because he is still very good in ctf wether using cheats or not.

heres what he has to say:

Okay here it goes, as all of you is starting to noticing. Alot of talk about me cheating has came up, and I just want to say to you
that its true, I did use wallhack for some months. I played quakelive since 2009, and i was still a good player from q3, i started playing ctf in ql
and I played div 1 ever since i started and played like that for over a year and a half without cheating once, then in late march i discovered this cheat and
to be honest i was just curious at first. And at this time CTF was dead, and ive never cared about anything in QL but CTF so i was really not so motivated about this game
When I started to use it I actually thought it was interesting cause I had never used a cheat in my life in quake before, and i have played for a really long time.
I was already bored with this game, and for me to be using something that made me better was just fun cause I didnt care, and this kept going on for a quite a while.
Untill eventually now in early july, I realised how I was even more bored with the cheat, And I also realised what a dick i have been really using this cheat.
So I decided to drop the cheat completely and I realised it was two maybe three times more fun to play without, and I realised I was still very good without cheat
I really regreted what I had done and from there on out I never wanted to cheat again and never look back.... I just wanted to forget about everything I had done
and just play without cheat from that moment on cause I did wanna attend Dreamhack Winter 2011 and I still want to. Cause I knew I would do good on LAN anyway
cause I realised i was still very good. But since this wouldnt be forgotten this was my opportunity to just confess myself.
I am truly sorry for what I did and I regret it. I want to go to LAN and prove that I am a good player, I will never ever do something like this again since
I know now how retarded it is, not only did it ruin the fun for me (which I didnt realized at first) it also ruins for others.
And I really had few friends in the community, cause I enjoyed trolling alot, and I still do.
My friends know who they are, wether they wanna be my friends after this or not is up to them, I understand.
Im just really regreting everything thats why im also confessing this as you can probibly figure out
I will probably never be forgiven, thats alright. But atleast im admitting what I have done to the community.

spart1e and strenx join NeVo (not) (124 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by xou @ 16:42 CDT, 1 August 2011 - iMsg

Yesterday on Next Evolution's website was announced the recruitment of a Quakelive squad.

Sebastian "spart1e" Siira and

Kévin "strenx" Baéza are now the two quake duelist who will represent nevo, starting with QuakeCon 2011 in

Dallas! The manager for these two players will be

Dmitriy "nicerdicer" Khorev, who's also the admin of the JeeSports quake cups.

The announcement also tells us that strenx will be going in

Kiev in a few days to boot-camp with the likes of Cypher and av3k. And maybe to play the ASUS Summer 2011 from there. For spart1e, the training plan remains unknown so far.

It was not a secret that Fnatic wouldn't send the two players to QuakeCon and lost interest in Quakelive after the games announcement for the new Intel Extreme Masters season. They also made an announcement to say goodbye to their quakers yesterday.

Next Evolution is a rather new structure in the world of e-sports, their website was just launched a month ago and this is their first Quakelive section. ~~Props to Zac "IMaG" Bell for stepping up in the Quake world in these not so bright days.~~

Update: The head manager of NeVo has been AFK for 2 weeks and someone decided to "close" the team. Now, spart1e will attend QuakeCon 2011 with his own money (or not) and strenx re-joined Fnatic.

Announcements: Next Evolution, Fnatic

Before

Peter "Ventz" Kidson and Timothy "zlr" Shey set off to QuakeCon 2011 in Dallas, TX, they kindly dedicated some time out from practicing to answer a few questions for us. This interview was conducted before the most recent Quakecon announcement about the voting system for play offs, so unfortunately this question was excluded in the Interview.

QuakeCon 2011 - Duel Group Advancement (288 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by SyncError @ 15:54 CDT, 29 July 2011 - iMsg

Event: QC'11

24 players will be entering the Group Stage of the QC11 Duel Masters, 16 of which will advance to the Playoffs. Of our 6 groups of 4, the top 2 competitors from each group secure their place in the Playoff Bracket.

From the twelve competitors that did not advance, 4 players will be chosen. Not by stats, not by the admins, nor by random choice -- 4 players will be chosen by the community via Facebook. Our "Community Choice Award Poll" will become available shortly after Group Stages conclude at 17:30 CDT, 4 August 2011.

Cast your vote for your favorite player, someone who impressed you despite losing groups, a fan favorite top seed that fell in an upset, your friend. If you are one of these twelve players, feel free to use the polling time to drum up support and encourage others to vote your way to the Playoffs.

Unconventional for tournaments? Yes. Gimmicky, sure. But we hope that allowing the community to have some say in who gets to compete all while generating more gameplay in the Playoffs can only be a positive thing.

We hope everyone has an opportunity to follow the streams, and come time cast their vote.

Update: Monitors for the QL tournaments will be provided by Alienware with the Alienware OptX AW2310 120hz (See this post).
