ESWC and IEM drop Quakelive *update* (688 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by xou @ 17:10 CDT, 11 July 2011 - iMsg

The announcement of the games selection for the

ESWC 2011 a few weeks ago and for the

IEM 6th season today on ESL-World both had something sad in common: they don't feature Quake.

In both case there is no explanation given, and another game is more or less taking over the Quake slot: Counter-Strike: Source in ESWC, and Leagues of Legends in IEM.

I tried to contact ESWC to get a statement, but I didn't receive any reply so far. On Carmac's twitter, IEM's manager, it's also hard to see any explanation on this choice.

Quakelive is now left with 3 major LAN organizations: DreamHack, QuakeCon and ASUS.

Update: I finally got a reply from the new Head of Competition of Games Solutions,

Camille Versteeg, mostly known for his work as a CS admin during several tournaments.

derQuaker Interview: strenx (40 comments)

Posted by moppz @ 15:24 CDT, 11 July 2011 - iMsg

Some days after

strenx announced he cannot go to QuakeCon 2011, the German derQuaker team tried to find out the reasons. What are the problems with his clan Fnatic? Why is spartie going to QuakeCon? Why is he still playing online cups?

"If you will have an interview with your new boss, would you like to tell him something about Quake?
I would just say that I’m used to play in a sport competition, and competition is an important thing for work. It’s a good experience, I really don’t waste my time in gaming and I really enjoy this accumulation of knowledge.”

Australian Scene and Support (22 comments)

Posted by M05 @ 08:15 CDT, 8 July 2011 - iMsg

As Reloaded VII draws near our online Divisional Duel Competition has almost finished. Our online competition also has the luxury of a first place prize of paid flights to the LAN event in July. Below are the upper bracket semi finals and finals of the Online competition feature Voxe Eminor

Tim "zlr" Shey, MindFreak.Razer

Peter "Ventz" Kidson and Frazer "Fraze" Hockley.

As most of you already know the Quake Live scene has flat lined a lot and I have seen some of you look at Australia/NZ like "hey they're doing great". The truth is we've flat lined just as much and even with the continuous efforts from the 4sg team it still feels like things are being slightly put to waste. Our Facebook and Youtube channel need a lot more supporting views if sponsors are willing to continue with us. While many of you do enjoy our work and give us constant feedback our time zones really affect international audiences. We would love if the word was spread of our work as we will be sending players again this year to Quakecon in hope of a bigger and brighter future.

Ready Up Radio Episode 29 (30 comments)

( Major News: QL SC2)

Posted by nineX @ 12:21 CDT, 7 July 2011 - iMsg

So two major LANs cut QuakeLive from their lineup, and everyone is wondering why? We talk about Carmac’s appearance on LO3, the decision to cut the game from the IEM major LAN series and what effect it might have on the game's future. Does this this mean the end for QuakeLive as a mainstream competitive game? If your answer is yes, think about why. Is it the lack of support from id? Is it the design of the game and lack of features? Is it the community’s fault for not trying to foster more competition at the lower level to try and bring in more players? Are people just over the deathmatch game style?

We also quickly talk about the StarCraft 2 event at Dreamhack, and how important the outcome was for the foreigner scene. WHITE PEOPLE HAVE A SAVIOR (pun intended).

Also, we’re going to start keeping an eye on the LOL competitive scene and hope to have someone on that can tell us a little more about the game and also how it got to be so popular. Stay tuned.
