Event: QC'11

Only a few days after the end of the action,

GreasedScotsman has made available all the demos collected from the QuakeCon 2011 Quakelive Duel and TDM tournaments. For now, they're not on the official website, but on

Trance's webspace along with plenty of other events' demos.

Also, the man from Quake-Live.tv started to upload the official VODs on the YouTube channel of the 2011 convention. All of them should be available tonight.

I prepared a coverage post with all the duel and TDM results with links to the demos and known VODs (no result spoilers). And also some more links to galleries and interviews.

Thanks to the QuakeCon 2011 staff and the streaming staff for the good coverage!

In part 1 of SK Gaming's 1on1 interview with Polish Quake star

Maciej "av3k" Krzykowski he discusses his breakout onto the international scene as a Quake 4 prodigy, his victories over

tox and

Cooller and the mindset which allowed him to accomplish such feats.

Which sport does av3k actively train in? How did av3k mentally approach games against top tier opponents at such a young age? What is his version of the pizza box story which saw him defeat tox on Phrantic?

I am proud to announce that the PUBMASTERS movie is now released!

Its been a VERY long and time consuming process, involving lots of different people, ideas, organizing, and editing, but it was well worth the wait The movie is fun, fast paced, off the wall, goofy, light hearted and definitely not your typical Quake frag movie. Something different, and funny and entertaining for the Quake community.

Enjoy the movie and feel free to share the love with friends! Special thanks to Fatal1ty and everyone else for helping out with scenes!

Grab some pop corn, sit back and relax

So... whats your fav part(s)?

Lo3 #82 QuakeCon Preview with 2GD (83 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by Slasher @ 17:15 CDT, 3 August 2011 - iMsg

Event: QC'11

Scheduled: 18:00 CDT, 3 August 2011 to 21:00 CDT, 3 August 2011
Schedule: Passed

LiveOnThree is hosted by

Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham,

Rod "Slasher" Breslau &

Scott "SirScoots" Smith.

Live On Three #82 will recap what was the most momentous, passionate, and pure largest weekend in eSports/Competitive Gaming history with the EVO 2011 World Finals, MLG Anaheim, and the GSL July finals. As was expected by many, Korea dominated MLG, Japan won Arcade Edition at EVO (though America stepped up), and the GSL finals was another 4-0 sweep. We examine why all of this happened and if the American/Foreign players for Starcraft 2 and Fighting Games will be on notice from these events and work harder, or continue to fluster when it comes to playing fierce competition. EVO official streamer

Victor "Spooky" Fontanez will join the show to discuss all of the weekend's events in Marvel vs Capcom 3, SSF4AE, Mortal Kombat 9, and how it felt to stream EVO for the very first time.

We will preview QuakeCon 2011, in what might be the last major Quake tournament for some time, with fascinating individual

2GD. Predictions of the groups including if

tox can win it all in his first tournament back, will

Cypher easily take it instead, or can

rapha retain his throne as the greatest Quake Live player ever? Also thoughts on the Facebook vote, the stream and his new casting partner, and his time on the MLG cast.

Tune in tonight at 7:00 PM ET/01:00 CET!
