EDL #10: Division 1 Grand Final (32 comments)

( Major News: Q2)

Posted by Welkin @ 16:25 CDT, 12 June 2012 - iMsg

Schedule: Passed

Here's a heads-up from the Quake2 scene... The European Duel League started its 10th season in September and has now finally come to its last games. This season was the first to feature four different divisions, and also a considerable deal of prize money. Perhaps this 15 year old game still has something to offer after all?

On Thursday, June 14th, at 21.00 CET, the Division 1 Grand Final will take place. It will be a battle of wits and grits between veteran powerhouse

PURRI and the new kid on the block,

David. Best out of seven maps - no mercy, no remorse.

LIVE Stream & GTV: Stream welkin.se/final or GTV 85.17.208.107:27910 (which you connect to using your Q2 client). For more info on the league, visit the website: q2scene.net/edl.

We are expanding our gaming events to a few weeknights as well!

The first of many events will be a Duel Double Elimination, it will consist of only one map. The chosen map for our first event will be Aerowalk. We chose the map due to its fast paced action with very minimal places to actually hide from your enemy. This will only be a 16 player bracket due to the fact that it is on a weeknight, we do not want it to run past 21:00 CST.

Who: CSN
What: Duel - Double Elimination
When: 20:00 CDT, 19 June 2012
Where: QuakeLive - North America Only

Why: Demand

The Quake legend himself,

Alessandro "Stermy" Avallone, attended his very first MLG at the event in Anaheim and graciously gave 10 minutes of his time to speak with ESEA News.

What are his thoughts on Quake Live? Should Quake be in MLG? Will he make a comeback?

Hello I am

klaovhwN, and since my Internet is jacked at the moment I decided to run a small Duel tournament in NA, and possibly more if this goes alright. Also big thanks to

CSN|steve for hooking me up with the admin rights to run this on the CSN site.

So we have some pretty good names coming into STFU AND DUEL some you may not know some you might but here are the notable names: Chord, Clast, Harley_QUINN, mavLP, undertaker12, nuttybro, spucrl, stWolf, 1057(Lost-Cause), walter and wonko himself. I'm sure there is a few names in there I didn't mention but these are notably people that seem to have done well in the past, Clast for instance was a really good q3 dueler so glad to see him back, we'll see how he does with the new maps.

Registration: Now - 15:00 CDT, 10 June 2012
Check in: 15:00 CDT, 10 June 2012 - 15:45 CDT, 10 June 2012
Matches start: 16:00 CDT, 10 June 2012

Results

Map pool

I'm going to manually be checking everyone's Elo who signs up and base everyone's seeds on that after check-in and see how that turns out... so get playing, stop losing. Also forgot to mention

rapha has already left for Dreamhack so more the reason to play :D (I love you Shane. and GL at DH.)

Sorry to wonko, i screwed up his ELO =(

We received a lot of complains from the newer and not so experienced players in Quake Live during our last few cups, so we'll organize another Duel Cup but this time for players only below 1400 dueling Elo points! (referring to QLRanks). The first edition takes place on European servers. You can already sign up, and make sure to have a stay on IRC at #infectedGaming while the cups proceeds. Of course you can participate at the regular duel cup to get a higher challenge, but if you lose in the first rounds you can try out this one and maybe you'll win! So even if you have above 1400 ELO points but you lose in the first round of the infected Duel Cup, you'll get a seat in this cup. Have fun & enjoy your time!

Cup information

Mappool

Visit the cup page for extended rules and registration information. All seats are taken. You will have the chance to sign up in the last 30 minutes, if a attender doesn't appear.

Last Saturday we decided to use a double-bracket since we only received 16 sign-ups. And 3 polish totally dominated this cup!

penicylina was beaten by

PYTON and reached the third place. But

PYTON wasn't able to defeat

LeSzNy, who made his direct way over the winner bracket to the finals. The sixth edition takes place on European servers and all players of all skill levels are welcome! You can already sign up, and make sure to have a stay on IRC at #infectedGaming while the cups proceeds. Again you need to help us: Last time you voted for 2 additional maps for the mappool. But T4 and Hektik reached the same amount of votes. Now it's again by you, which map will be played in the future. Here you can find the poll. If you lose, don't worry! There will be a Beginners Cup at Sunday!

DreamHack Summer: Quake Live Groups! (304 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by blaze @ 16:46 CDT, 3 June 2012 - iMsg

Event: DHS'12

After the show yesterday with The GD Studio hosted by

2GD and

Trance we got to know the groups for this years perhaps best Quake Live duel tournament!

Unfortunately

Cooller decided to drop out just minutes before the show was about to air. But a substitute was found very quickly, the moviemaker and cpm player

mccormic.

Our great admin

slayzah and

zoot took the matter in own hands and remade the seeds, to prevent any further mistakes (like redoing the groups). Sorry for the confusion during the show, but it was all for the best of the tournament. The new seeds can be found below:
