Australian Scene and Support (22 comments)

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.

Event: DHS'11

Over the last few days PlayQuake have posted their review of the TDM tournament that took place at DHS11.

In this multi-part article we’re aiming to go over just what went on during the tournament and offer up some of our own opinions as well. It’s not a short article, which is why it’s been split, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it, particularly if you weren’t able to catch all of the games.

Quake Live Commentary (68 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by !phil @ 12:07 CDT, 29 June 2011 - iMsg

I wish to advertise my live video commentary page for quakeworld. It is different from most other commentary you may have seen because I am doing the commentary at the same time as I'm playing the game.

The intent is to show newbies (and/or players that are new to FPS) the thought process that goes on while someone is playing the game.

I'm still working on some technical aspects of capturing (using fraps locks me down to 120FPS, but perhaps I can use vdub with some tweaks to get unlocked FPS capturing) but I already have 30+ episodes ready, and I have gotten positive feedback, but I haven't been able to get too many views so I'm hoping to get some word out - so spread the word :) Even quakelive players and other players outside quakeworld have told me they learned something from these videos, so I hope you can too, and improve yourself in FPS :D

(I got this idea from kingscrusher chess live commentary, very entertaining; and then after I started I learned that some people do live commentary in SC2 also - psy, day9 I think, etc)
