For Team Dignitas' last Alienware Cup of 2012, we wanted to do something special and what better than to support a game which helped us build up our organisation? On Sunday December 23rd we are hosting a Return To Castle Wolfenstein one-day-cup, with a £200 winner-takes-all cash prize. We start with 16 teams, but if we receive 32 or more signups then we will increase this.

We have invited eight top teams who are guaranteed a spot in our tournament and will receive a seed, while all other spots are available for open signups so hurry up and get your team signed up. If we receive more than 32 signups we will use a check-in system to decide which teams get to play.

We're also happy to announce that the tournament will be streamed by Stuart 'TosspoT' Saw, so don't forget to tune in for some epic RTCW matches!

Event: FACEIT

Scheduled: 04:30 CST, 16 December 2012 to 15:30 CST, 16 December 2012
Schedule: Passed

In two days the FACEIT: Legends Cup will be kicking off. We're glad to be releasing the format, schedule and maps for the tournament.

The cup will kick off with two groups of four players. The top two will progress to a single elimination playoff stage. All matches will be played in Best-of-3, except for the semi finals and grand final, which will be Best-of-5. We understand that a lot wanted a round-robin stage, so more matches could be played, but unfortunately due to time restraints this is not possible.

Maps for the tournament had already been announced live on stream. Be sure to tune in on time to FACEIT TV, which will start at 05:30 CDT with

Daniel "ddk" Kapadia,

Xavier "Zoot" Dhorne and

Stuart "TosspoT" Saw on the microphone.

Interview with Evil (56 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by Cyn1c @ 14:23 CST, 13 December 2012 - iMsg

Event: DHW'12

The QuakeLive DreamHack Winter 2012 edition recently concluded with the Russian player Evil taking home the crown. Last week, I got a chance to sit down with him for an interview. During this interview, evil talked about the Russian quake scene, his sources of inspiration, how he prepared for DHW2012 and his future plans.

Here are a couple of excerpts:

Cypher has one special characteristic - if the enemy starts to fear him in-game and avoids a shootout with him till the end, Cypher will exploit this thing very hard! So, you need to fight with him in any combat and never run away without a fight.

Against Rapha, you need to know the things he starts his game with. He calculates a sequence of armors (spreads around within a circle in their proximity) and likes to take advantageous positions. He plays very standard, dry game, without special aggressive moves or focus on specific weapon(s).

Since quite a lot of people asked me to publish it as video to reach broader audience, I'll just rewrite the content of the forum post.

"Hi, my clanmate has posted the unfinished version of our Q3 fragmovie on youtube. Frags are great imho and it's raw Q3 TDM most of the time, so I think someone might want to take a look.

It would have been a hell of a fragmovie, were it not for the stupid After Effects crashing and halting the whole project. Anyway, HF"

UberDemoTools Cutter - Major Bugfix (6 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by myT @ 10:11 CST, 9 December 2012 - iMsg

If you don't know about UDT, please read this post. I just wanted to share with you that I finally managed to fix a major issue in the demo cutter code.

This bug would cause some output demos to have some invisible enemies, events that would happen in rapid-fire succession instead of only happening once, etc. If you've seen any of these or some other weird stuff, I'd advise you to grab the latest version and if possible, to send me the original demo and the start and end times you used. The more test demos I have for validation, the better I can make sure code changes made to the cutter don't break anything that worked previously.
