FACEIT announce Points Cups & More (79 comments)

Event: FACEIT

Dear FACEIT and Quake followers,

After many months of supporting Quake Live, we had much feedback that you wanted more, bigger and better. We have worked hard to make this happen. What does this mean? More tournaments, more prizes, and more fun.

We will be hosting a minimum of eight FACEIT Points Tournaments a day starting coming Monday. In these tournaments you will be able to win points. After you have gathered a certain amount of FACEIT Points you will be able to exchange these points for prizes in our new Shop, such as hardware, but also special prizes such as a holiday in Andora, Stermy's place of birth, or a FACEIT branded Fiat 500 (yes, a real car!).

These FACEIT Points Tournaments are free to join up to four times per month. The flagship tournaments such as the Sunday Cups and Pick Up Games are still open for everyone and do not count towards the four monthly tournaments.

If you want to play more, you can upgrade your account to Unlimited or Premium. Unlimited will give you access to as many FACEIT Points Tournaments as you wish, while you can play in one Premium Tournament per month. Besides this, you will receive a badge on your profile, stating you as a "Supporter" of FACEIT. This all for as low as �2.99 per month.

Premium users will have all services available to them for as low as �5.99 per month. While they get all that Free and Unlimited users receive, they will be able to play in an unlimited amount of Premium Tournaments. Next to this they will receive a 1.5x FACEIT Points boost, access to Premium Prizes and a badge stating you as "Premium Supporter".

Should this model prove a success, we can further expand our support for Quake Live and become bigger and better for everyone!

FACEIT Quake Live Spring Season starts (390 comments)

Posted by roychez @ 08:14 CDT, 11 April 2013 - iMsg

Event: FACEIT

After an epic Winter Season Finale, ending with Cypher taking down pavel with 3-0 in the grand final, we are now ready for the FACEIT Quake Live Spring Season.

Everyone starts with a clean slate, back on zero points and everyone on equal terms to qualify for the Finale. Every Sunday for the coming months you will be able to win points by finishing in the top sixteen. On top of that, the top two of each cup will be rewarded with cash prizes. At the end of the Spring Season, the top eight will be invited for the Season Finale.

For the Spring Season we will be making a small change in the map pool. Toxicity is back in, while we say goodbye to Silence, for now, until we deem it suitable for our Season (different color for example). Other than that, you will be able to get your Quake fix at 07:00 CST every Sunday, either by playing or tuning in to FACEIT TV. Check-ins open at 06:00 CST.

This Sunday will be the first cup of the season; the FACEIT QL Sunday Spring Cup #1. Commentary will be starting at 07:30 CST on FACEIT TV, with commentary by

Daniel "ddk" Kapadia and
