Announcing the #cpmduel League (16 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by xero- @ 14:46 CDT, 29 October 2017 - iMsg

We're proud to announce the #cpmduel League which will kick-off on November 11, 2017. This will be a weekly league, where players are split into three divisions: Invite, Main, and Beginner, and play other players in their respective division each week. After players have played all their group opponents once, the top players of every group, will face their rivals in the same division in a single elimination play-off bracket. Due to the nature of this league, things will be a little sophisticated, and we anticipate having different rules in terms of play-off advancement for the different divisions as they will have a different amount of players.

The admin group includes:

neverGreen,

gaiia, and myself (

xero), with

Kimi|AHK,

DEZ, and

veliars acting as referees.

Steej and JAM Gaming's

Astroboy. These two have secured their spots as the best two in Australia winning flights to both Sweden Dreamhack and PAX Melbourne (on this weekend). The match will be showcased at the AMD booth, setup central to the venue, and will feature myself and ZenAku on the mic casting. ZenAku will also be doing "frag a pro" duel sessions versus the PAX audience Friday/Saturday and Sunday to warm up attendee's to the format and style of Duel.

Thunderdome 9 open for signups (6 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by Åke Vader @ 03:22 CDT, 27 October 2017 - iMsg

A new season of the modern classic Thunderdome, scheduled to start around the 5th of November, now takes signups from players of all skill levels. Thunderdome is an online QuakeWorld 1on1 duel tournament which aims to bring equal games under competitive circumstances by separating players according to their evaluated skill levels. Games are typically played best-of-three in a double elimination bracket format. The top division is the "Open" to which players of any skill can volunteer to join in.

Players are encouraged to read through the rules before signing up and with regards to the rules the map pool is still subject for some discussion and about to be finalised. It will however "be based on" DM2, DM4, AEROWALK, BRAVADO and ZTNDM3 according to the current wording in the rules section.

$400 AUD. PAX turn out is always massive here and we can't wait to have people enjoying a high level AU/NZ Quake Champions match.

Our region also receied 2 Duel invites and 1 Sacrifice invite to the upcoming Dreamhack Winter in Sweden . We are set to have all of our Quakecon representatives return and try to Qualify for the competition such as

Astroboy,

Fraze,

Python,

Steej and

ZenAku. We also have

fearZZz and

nporaMep whom both relocated down our way making an appearance, albeit with an unfair high ping advantage. Other players to watch out for are

Dirtbox and

Stral who are big from the QW and Promode scene,

Chugg who has been putting together slash and aiming tutorials and a bunch of other streamers like

Atlantian Wraith,

Shirley,

Centrelink and

Hazkem. Also rumors are that the infamous Quake 3 player

uNleashed will be competing as well!

Before the patch got rolled out Phy1um and I put together an patch recap video. I'll also be trying to push out more contact during PAX like interviews/photos/videos etc. please follow myself on the socials.

Lastly, we will also be doing Wager (Points Betting) again so far just for our AU/NZ Qualifier and the Dreamhack Denver tournament.
