SK Gaming's Shane "rapha" Hendrixson spoke in an interview about his matches over the Summer against Cooller, Cypher's return to the top and the challenge of competing for a DreamHack title.
Cypher was the dominant Quake player before you took over and began your run but even at the IEM IV WC he had his problems in QL, however one would describe them. This Summer he seems to have taken his game to a higher level and has become the #1 player in everyone's eyes it seems. What is your take on his journey back to the top?
Ihad thought about this where for a while he was the one on top, playing better winning tournaments even when we would face off, barely edge me out multiple times. Then the tables turned and it's been I who've been winning them and edging him out consistently when we've met in tournaments.
I told him though I had a feeling that soon we're both going to be on a seemingly indistinguishable level(of course not meaning that people can't tell us apart because our styles are different) but possibly if we end up meeting showing some of the best quake possible. So far my first prediction is right, his game has stepped up, now it's just time for me to do so as well =)
Finally, the tournament our Australian and New Zealand followers have been waiting for has arrived. The Intel Extreme Masters Season 5 will debut an Oceanic blooded participant in Germany, Hanover, next year for Quake Live. Thanks to our gracious and giving community, 4Seasons Gaming has successfully raised enough funds to fly over a representative to compete on behalf of Oceania. This will be Oceania's second debut at an International Quake Live event, the first being Quakecon 2010 in which we saw ArchaicMSI's Daniel "Dandaking" De Sousa take out 7th/8th spot, defeating the likes of Draven and dkt then losing out to some nice games against DaHang.
Qualification Tournament #1 on 20:00 CST, 11 December 2010 (Double Elimination)
Qualification Tournament #2 on 03:00 CST, 13 December 2010 (Single Elimination)
Qualification Tournament #3 on 03:00 CST, 17 December 2010 (Single Elimination)
Qualification Tournament #4 on 20:00 CST, 18 December 2010 (Double Elimination)
Qualified players will then submit schedules for the actual Draft event week which will run between January 9th to the 16th

TEK9 are preparing their coverage of the DreamHack Winter 2010 Quake Live tournaments, posting a Preview of the tend players you need to look out for the most.
The first post, released earlier today, focuses on the Favourites of the event. It included an extensive look at players such as Cooller, Cypher and rapha.
Here is a small excerpt of the article:
"There is one golden rule concerning champions and winning streaks: they will end. The question usually focuses on the when and not how or if. Oddly enough, the home-grown QuakeCon 2010 would be the setting and place for Shane "rapha" Hendrixson's reign to end. Prior to the event, he had said he did not feel as comfortable as usual and would experience a hard event, but the way and spot he crashed out was far outside anyone's expectations. Throughout the event he was looking shaky and the gruesome schedule (as he was also playing for a CTF team there and everyone constantly had to switch between CTF and Duel) played a toll on his nerves and his usually so calm self."
So if you are interested in Quake Live and looking forward to the DreamHack Winter 2010 events, be sure to head on over to TEK-9 and read this article.

The last Playday of the IEM5 European Championship is starting tonight with two matches, as well as two other late games. Make sure you hang in #masters.ql to get the stream infos!
The last playday is the 24th of November. As the rules mention, it's not allowed to reschedule it to the next after, even with wildcard. The players going to DreamHack are highly encouraged to pre-pone their last match to an earlier date as soon as possible.

Bogdan 'Bodzo' Mazur is not able to participate in the MSI BEAT IT Quake Live tournament at Dreamhack and he will be replaced by his team mate Robert 'tox1c' Kopczynsk.
A few days ago we have been informed that Universal Soldier player Bodzo isn't able to attend Dreamhack Winter and resigned from the tournament, thus leaving an empty spot to be filled. tox1c has been an active player of almost every PLAY BEAT IT QL qualifier and placed fourth in the last chance qualifier right behind Cooller.
Also MSI have decided to further up the prize pool adding the MSI GT663 Laptop as a first place prize. We are all very excited to see the Dream Hack event unfold and we wish the best of luck to all competitors.
