Sc00t has posted his second column on PlayQuake.

This time the subject concerns the payout of prizes in Quake Live. Do the players get what they are owed, who pays up and who doesn't. Here is an excerpt:

Many people heard stories about the CPL not paying out their prizes of the World Tour. It happens more often than I think the spectators do know of, so this article will be about prizes that I have won and how long passed until I received the prize.

Check out of the full column at PlayQuake.com.

Irish international betting giant Paddy Power have entered the Esports fray and will be offering bets on this weekends pending SAGE LAN event, featuring both Enemy Territory and Call Of Duty.

The SAGE Lan Event will take place in Enschede offering a total prize pot of €7000 split evenly amongst the two games.

A limit has been placed on the maximum bet in order to prevent match fixing.

Paddy Power are also offering a free bet of up to Ł/€25 for new customers who register through the above link to bet on Esports. When you go to register, above "personal details" it should say "You are entitled to a €/Ł25 free bet." This means that you will get a free bet to the same stake as your first bet on PaddyPower credited to your account within 24 hours (sometimes instantly). To use the free bet, just add a selection to your betslip and it will come up in a dropdown menu.

To place a bet head over to Paddy Power.com. Full tournament information and coverage can be found on Crossfire.nu & tek-9.org. For the real gamblers amongst you teams form for the ET tournament can be found on GamesTV.org.

Re: ESWC and IEM drop Quakelive (No comments)

although it surely is sad to see this development....it is not completly surprising.

When Dreamhack was streaming different games at the same time, other games had more spectators.

While this is not the only indicator of course, I think (fear) that many games will have a larger playerbase.

The quake scene is basically the same for a decade with some top players leaving and some newer ones taking those spots, but there is nothing to see that couldnt be seen in 2004 aswell...

From a business point of view and, lats face it, thats what those companies are about after all, it makes totally sense to take some younger and (at the moment) popular games....
