Posted by Trance @ 15:12 CST, 18 November 2011 - iMsg

Once again we are pleased to announce that Level Up TV will be present, on site, this year during DreamHack Winter (24-27 November) to provide official coverage for the Quake Live duel and TDM tournaments.

This is our 5th consecutive DreamHack event after having covered the Winter 2009, Summer 2010, Winter 2010 and Summer 2011 events, therefore we aim to bring you, as always, the best possible coverage.

Ziggy "nVc" Orzeszek and

Stuart "Disrepute" Evans will be your dedicated casters for the tournaments. We will try to pair them with various pros as much as we can, and of course

James "2GD" Harding might also be jumping on stream whenever he’s available.
On top of that we’d like to welcome our latest addition

Antoine "sharpe" Goeuriot who will be on site with our crew, working on highlights of the day, interviews and much more. You can enjoy his short hype video for our coverage below:

Sharpe Hype video

The setup will be pretty much the same as the one used during DreamHack Summer 2011, so be sure to expect a free 60 fps, 720p stream for your viewing pleasure. Twitch.TV is the streaming platform that will be used.

Lastly, we would also like to take this opportunity to announce our new website being launched today. This project has been in the works for quite some time and we’re happy to finally be able to release it. We will be adding content and updates to it as we go along, so we hope you will all enjoy it.

Important Note!

Any streaming organizations that are interested to cover this event in any language other than English, please contact: trance@dreamhack.se

My first movie I managed to release.

While creating this I ignored all current movie fashion with tons of effects, recams, 3D and all that stuff. Instead of this I focused on style, sync and feelings from movie.

All content recorded by myself. All non-game media created by myself. Diplodocus image grabbed from wikipedia :)

I spent about 1.5 months on editing and 3 more weeks on polishing. I collected about 1100 raw moments and reviewed about 400 for this movie. 60 of them fits well.

:l

19 minutes of everyday frags (and ql only (no ET)) with pretty much pathetic editing and disgusting music, you've been warned.

u might find something watchable from previous chapters though so im gonna redirect you there right away (links in my profile):

Quakelive duel added to ESL VERSUS (20 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by xou @ 19:06 CST, 15 November 2011 - iMsg

Some of us already knew about it, but now it's official: Quakelive is now on ESL VERSUS. It was first added with TDM 4v4, but after some thinking, it's finally Duel that will be featured for the official launch. Other modes could follow in the next weeks if needed!

So far, the 1v1 map list consists of non-Premium maps (Blood Run, Campgrounds, Furious Heights, House of Decay, Lost World and Vertical Vengeance). Premium maps should be added soon with a better system to handle them!

Note that ESL Wire still isn't compatible with Quakelive.

CPM 1v1 Kenya Maps Cup Over! (61 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by gaiia @ 11:58 CST, 13 November 2011 - iMsg

After a long night of

CPM action the Kenya Maps Cup is over. However, when the dust settled, only one remained victorious. We had some great, entertaining games, but experienced also a few difficulties. The brackets were shit, one of the admins was cheating and the servers were lagging. Quite a few upsets were seen, as the Bulgarian powerhouses

wuxia and

Nzr0 shared the 5th place and

LuGia was knocked out in just 4 maps.

Full Results

Finals Recap

I would like to thank all of the participants and the spectators for taking part. Special thanks go to

Level Up TV and the shoutcasters

nVc,

Drexciyian and

nekon,

HellTiger,

blaze and

myT.

After realizing how rewarding hosting a cup can be, we will definitely host more CPM cups in the future, so stay tuned!

If you played in the CPM 1v1 Kenya Maps Cup last night and you got that once-in-a-lifetime rail flick or something similar, send your frags to me ( gaiiaxx 'at' gmail 'dot' com ) and I will make a fragmovie, in the style of "Top10 Frags of the Kenya Maps Cup".
