Posted by easytarget @ 21:15 CST, 1 December 2012 - iMsg

As I am sure some of you have heard we here at Targetquake have decided to move on from having our events hosted/powered by CSN. We appriciate all of the great events that they have helped us with and we wish them all the best in the future with their new ventures.

To start off with we have renamed to Targetquake Productions. The main reason for this is we are now being asked to host events for other players/organizers in the community. We will still bring you the same great weekly format that you have come to expect, but we are also going to try and involve alot more people from within the community.

I am also pleased to say that all the admins from CSN who have helped out with all of the Targetquake events have teamed up with us here at Targetquake Productions. You will still see/hear from the same friendly admins that you have been interacting with, and hopefully a few more as we try to grow and take on more challenges.

What does this mean to the Quakelive Community? Well nothing really we will still be bringing the same great events that you have come to expect from us. There will just be a few minor changes on how you the players will have to deal with the events. For more information on what players competing in our events need to do please give this a quick read Player Info.

Our bracket/sign-up system will be temporarily held at Challonge.com, until our new home is completed hopefully by mid February. So if you compete in our events and are not registered with them please do so when you have time.

We have tried to make everything as easy as possible for the players involved with the events hosted by Targetquake Productions. Everything except the actual sign ups for the event is completely accessible on our site. Vod's and Demo's will now be hosted on the site also making the site almost a one stop destination for all our events. All of us involved at Targetquake Productions are very excited about the new things we are trying and we welcome any and all feedback from the community, so if you have an idea on how to possibly improve our ventures please feel free to get in contact with us.

ShadyAK &

esdf take turns at talking about the recently finished Dreamhack Winter tournament and two of the biggest stories that happened there -

Evil winning and

Av3k retiring, as well as production values and what may have gone on behind the scenes. The topics also covered were the upcoming online ZOWIE sponsored tournament that is going to be hosted by Excello and of course, the inevitable ranking of the countries according to Quake skill and retardation level.

Upcoming Limbus change! (65 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by Yellack @ 15:10 CST, 28 November 2012 - iMsg

As Limbus is currently played in all leagues, we want to inform you about an upcoming change.
We thought through some ideas of how we could let the quad-carrier get out alive slightly easier, without making crucial changes to the map. The outcome was that we switched the 'broken' window (near grenade launcher) directly to quad.

Screenshot

-It should reduce the rush and spam from that direction when Quad is about to spawn
-You should be able to defend Quad better
-Harder to steal LG (from RA/RG position)
-Can still hit the lucky shot thru the window.
-GL Area has a better flow as the window was replaced by a doorway
-Can use the balcony to take out the railer etc etc

Feel free to post your opinions.
