#CPMDUEL crew brings you another dose of promode action in the form of 4th challenge promode HoonyMode cup held on Wednesday 25th of June at 17:00 CET. If you are interested, you can sign up! This time it will be pukka3tourney2 massacre! GL&HF!
Ranking:Table Date and time: 25th of June, 16:30 CET Check-in: 17:00 CET in #cpmduel channel System: bo3 for every game except bo5 for final, double elimination. Map pool:pukkat2 Admins:neverGreen
Hoonymode is a novel form of 1v1 play, loosely based on tennis rules.
All in-game behaviour (weapons, physics, items, etc) remains the same
as standard DM: the change is in how the game progresses from one frag
to the next.
During warmup, two spawnpoints are chosen by the players. One will
typically be a "stronger" spawn and the other "weaker". When the game
begins, these are where the players will spawn, with the strong spawn
considered the equivalent of having the "serve".
Each player death (regardless of source, i.e. a suicide is considered
a kill for the opponent) is treated as a distinct point. After a point
is scored, play does not continue as in DM: instead, the players and
the arena are reset, and a new point is contested for. Players switch
spawnpoints at this time, so the player who had the weak spawn for the
previous point now has the strong one, effecting a change of serve.
Players are given a few seconds between points to reconsider strategies
etc.
Games are played to a point limit, with the clock not being a factor.
A player must reach that limit and be at least two points clear of
his opponent to win, i.e. in a 5-point game, 5-4 is a lead not a win:
the player still needs another point to clinch it.
Implementation Specifics:
Players claim a spawnpoint by moving near it and using the spawn
command (via console/bind/etc).
Referees can choose spawnpoints for players by using "spawn <pid>"
(Players can also use this when playing bots).
Players are not FORCED to choose a spawnpoint: spawns will be random (not
recommended).

eSports Heaven TDM spring season is almost over - the div1 semi finals will take place today at 13:00 CST. An exciting match awaits us between two well known QL TDM veterans, the Russian unstoppable force Deliberate Murder and European hopefuls EliteFour.
On the other side of the bracket we have swedish based [Neutralizerz], previous One Night Wonder champions that will try to take on unknown. Second semi final will be played at 14:00 CST.
"Since the question keeps getting asked -- no, I am not going to be at Quakecon this year. My 2.5 hr talk at SMU should still be released."
The talk at the Southern Methodist University took place on April 25th and has not yet been published (people.smu).
John had tweeted several times in the past he would keep his keyspeech aka techtalk at QuakeCon if Zenimax even let him. But recently Zenimax sued John for a Virtual Reality code copy (bluesnews ZeniMax vs. Oculus, Oculus responds). Who knows, if it had not been for the current action he might have gone to QuakeCon.

Summer is almost here and things are starting to heat up, not only outside but also in the Quake Live Competitive scene as well: The FACEIT Spring Season Finals!
The beginning of the season saw some unexpected players rise up to the challenge with the absence of Evil, but in the end it was the Russian who topped the standings, winning a total of five out of ten Sunday Cups. Him and Cypher will be joined by ash, pavel, Madball, Agent, Sev3n, and dem0n to fight for the $500 prize purse and the title of Spring Champion.
These eight players are divided into two groups, with all matches played in best-of-three. The top two players will head into a single elimination best-of-five bracket.
Update #1: Noctis has replaced agent, who decided against playing in the final. Update #2: Sev3n has also dropped out, and will be replaced by twister. Update #3: Madball has informed us that he cannot play. It's too late to find a replacement so the group will be played with three players.
In order to get there, expendables welcomes any help ! You can help us with that by donating just a little bit. Our goal right now to make this trip more affordable for us is to reach 500€.
That is not all! To the people that decide to help us out we promise couple of things:
- we're going to produce a movie documenting the trip and the event itself from our team's perspective and we will include nods towards the contributors (with their permission);
- random bonus included in the aftermovie (personal message from Spart1e or something along the lines, we'll get creative).
Huge thanks to you all!
Update:
Thanks to your amazing support, we have already more than met our initial goal of 500€ with a total of 1007€ worth of donations within 24 hours ! We hope to live up the to the task you guys have given us. We still welcome any future donations if you guys want to ease out our team's expenses and/or wish to benefit from our little aftermovie surprises.

AlexeyA:
"Hi everybody! My name is Aleksey. Beginning with February 2013 I am sponsoring the 125 FPS QuakeLive League (http://125fps.com) and provide almost all of the prize money from my own pocket. Why do I do this? Because like many of us I played the first Quake and even Duke Nukem)) on lan during my childhood. Time goes by and Im a grown-up man now with all the obligations that come along with it. Yet still I want the Quake community to flourish and reward me and all fans of the game with great matches, tournaments, reports etc.
When there are no tournaments with prize money the interest of players and fans decreases and thats what Im trying to combat. Im sure Im not the only one. The community has a lot of adult, successful people, as well as many young people who fell in love with the game.
I want to ask the community to help build on the foundation I and the 125fps team have laid and increase the prizes in the coming leagues. Fundraising is nothing new and is employed to collect funds for all kinds of events. Im sure that many of you will be happy to chip in a sum thats admissible for yourselves and even happier to follow the tournament you yourself made a contribution to!
Below are various ways to donate money for prize funds of 125fps.com leagues.
The reputation of the 125fps leagues guarantees for a fair distribution of funds. I myself will continue to contribute about 31500p(~1000$) every month.
I propose the following prize money distribution (31500RUR + donations)
<>
15% of the donations will go towards the organization and coverage of the league, in particular recruitment of streamers.
Additionally I suggest limiting the prize pool of every league by 3500$. If there is more than 2500$ worth of donations the surplus funds get transfered to the next league. The biggest donators will be listed below every leagues prize pool (voluntary).
The fundraising will start with the announcement of the next league."
