Quake Forever Update! (38 comments)
Posted by Dronar @ 04:15 CDT, 23 April 2009 - iMsg
As previously posted DreamHack will host 1v1 tournaments in QuakeWorld and Quake 3: CPM. But we also decided to arrange a fun tournament for Quake Live! The tournament will be all BYOC, so you need a computer seat to attend. The prizes include products from the Swedish company Mionix.

The tournament will be arranged by DreamHack and QuakeLive.se so you'll find all the brackets and information at both websites. This will be a great opportunity to meet other QL players as well as to see some great Quake action in all three games.

So, get online and practice until you wear out your mouse, you'll get a new one if you're good enough ;)

Dates: June 13-16
Location: Elmia, Jönköping - Sweden
Competition mode: Quake Live - Duel
Number of slots: 64
BYOC: YES, Finals will be played at DreamArena
Registration: On-site registration.

Cpm 2v2 NATIONSCUP Week 1+2! (28 comments)
Posted by blaze @ 10:24 CDT, 10 April 2009 - iMsg
So the first two weeks we'll see a lot of games! Each team will play 3 games during these two weeks. So it's time to start scheduling.
As usual tell me or ethad ASAP when you scheduled the game. It's close to impossible for us to run this event otherwise.

(Since every group has 5 teams one team has to sit out every round. That causes that some teams will just have to play 2 games these weeks)

GAMES HAS TO BE PLAYED BEFORE MONDAY 27/4

Cpm 2v2 NATIONSCUP (48 comments)
Posted by blaze @ 10:04 CDT, 10 April 2009 - iMsg
Next monday (13/4) the 2v2 version of the Nationscup kicks in with 20 teams fighting for the pride left in CPM.
Since the teams only need 2 players to get a game going we thought we'd speed things up and make you play 3 games per 2 weeks.
First two weeks schedule can be found here!


I'd like to remind every team that to have at least one player in #cpm.nations to make the scheduling smooth. Before we start I'd like to hand out a round of applauses to the refs helping us with the event and the few admining here at ESR.

ESWC Bankrupt? (210 comments)
Posted by oneroomdisco @ 13:15 CDT, 5 April 2009 - iMsg
As just reported on Team-aAa.com (french), it appears that Game-Services, the company that owns ESWC, is undergoing judicial liquidation (bankruptcy).

Complexity had contacted Game-Services about this issue, and received this response:
Games-Services SA ceases all activities. Its liquidation has been pronounced by the Commercial Court of Paris March 30, 2009. In consequence, all the employees and managers have been relieved from their duties and laid off April 2nd, by the adjudication. The process of liquidation, which is starting this week, will notably organize the potential trade-in or resale of the company’s assets including the Electronic Sports World Cup and Overgame.
So although ESWC can be bought by another company, it appears that as of now, there will be no future ESWC Qualifiers or Final Events.

Also reported by Complexity here.
