dem0n interview on Esportsfrance (68 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by Infuscomus @ 05:09 CDT, 11 April 2012 - iMsg

As promised some time ago, I am now making available a

dem0n interview. I did the translation myself again so I apologize for any mistakes.

You probably all know

dem0n, brilliant TDM / CTF / duel player from Belgium, and probably the one who has achieved the most in QuakeLive. In this interview we discuss his personal career, the CTF NC, TDM and the Belgium scene, the Adrien "burnedd" Denis case, the future of fast FPS and so on. Here's an extract of the interview:

Let's talk about duel. You already went to many big LAN events like DreamHacks or the UGC and you regularly do pretty well in Zotac cups, what do you think of your situation on the international scene and what are the domains in which you have to get better in order to annoy the big five in your opinion ?
Honestly, in online competition I have more difficulties against "subtop" players than against top players like Cypher, Avekkk, Cooller or rapha...except strenx of course. By subtop, I mean players like p0ni, pavel_, uaReaper, alfaomega, agent, evil, etc. who are really good players online according to me. I did some good results in LAN events too but I often missed some opportunities, some momentum.[...]

Adroits QL Open #2 (12 comments)

Posted by Wintastic @ 05:08 CDT, 11 April 2012 - iMsg

I'm glad to announce that Adroits will be hosting another Quake Live duel cup. After the success of our last tournament, we gathered all feedback and believe we've satisfied each request for the time being. You asked for no player caps, we've removed any limit for player signups. You asked for self check-in, we now allow players to check-in themselves. In addition to these improvements, we'll be throwing in a SteelSeries QcK+ for the winner. When? April 14th, 14:00 CEST.

Edit2: Players no longer need to be present for the picking ceremony, only captains.
Edit3: Due to many requests, the date has been changed to 29th of April instead of the 28th. The cup is to be held on a Sunday now.
Edit4: Soap on a Rope (cu3ctf1) replaced by cpmctf2 due to popular demand. This cup's map pool is unpredictable for sure.
