Event: HoQ Spring 2016

This Sunday, 24th of April, will see the fifth round of the HoQ TDM Spring Season 2016!

Here is the schedule for this new round.

Division 1 - Sunday 21CEST

Division 2 - Monday 21CEST

Division 3 - Tuesday 21CEST

Map pool and map picking

Division 1 only had one match from round 4 played this week. Now, Pacmen won't be able to play before May 4th and deal with it and REKT are struggling to arrange a date. But Deliberate Murder have been quite active! First they managed to get a clean win from the big dicks. And then they faced their round 3 opponents, REKT, in a thrilling three-mapper. You should definitely check the VODs if you haven't seen this match (

102,

? insan3). Round 5 is the last round for Division 1, but there are still 8 matches to be played.

last pick and (B52) still lead the Division 2 rankings after winning their matches. The other match was wildcarded by Onfire. Division 3's Zombei remains undefeated after a close game against Dretwe Lamy. And Platige Team is on the same path after meeting with Virtual owners.

One word about nerds as they only played 1 match in 4 rounds. All their opponents used wildcard and they don't have a match this week. They're the favorites of Division 3 so Zombei and Platige Team should take advantage of the delayed matches to practice, practice, practice !

House of Quake CA 4v4 Round 4 recap (2 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by viaIImaximus @ 15:23 CDT, 20 April 2016 - iMsg

Event: HoQ Spring 2016

The fourth round of HoQ CA 4v4 Spring Season 2016 was played on April 14th featuring four matches across two divisions this time round.

The match results are the following:

Division 2

Division 3

Standings:

Division 1

Division 2

Division 3

Even though in this round we haven’t seen any division 1 matches being played, the folks in division 2 and 3 sure did their best to entertain us with their games. It’s those damn Russ.. uhm.. Danes again who were in the spotlight of the evening. The match division 2 has been looking forward to for a while now, the match that would decide the group leader, the match that would end world hunger (!), well not really but our hunger for a good CA game was fed by a nubz versus Team PULSE clash. Ruining this epic hype introduction is very well related to a 0:2 straight win for Team PULSE. That gets them the lead position in the group and gets everyone else’s fangs out ready to suck on their blood and points while at it. Other than that match, the German’s got the ‘boot’ (not Das Boot the movie) but an Italian one. The Italian Death Squad won over, now ashamed, Team CODIAN who lost in two straight maps. Team CODIAN now with no points added to their name don’t look too good. Italian’s managed to get 6 points so far and are tied with nubz.

A nice pairing was displayed in division 3, where we had two A and B teams from Frag Emm Clan and Because life is izi… The two, actually four, managed to play three mapper matches. One match went to the [IZI] B while facing F.E.C with a 2:1 win! Since the universe acknowledges only one constant and that is balance, in that retrospect F*E*C was bound to win, and win they did, while [IZI] A being the victims of poor planet alignment and sheer bad luck, lost. ‘Fraggers’ won this matchup with a 2:1 result. LG/ still leads the group with a nice purse of points, 12 being the number, while close second are the 2StH, while the third place is having a threesome. Three teams sharing the same amount of points, that being 6, and it features two [IZI] teams and one F*E*C team in a clench.

Be sure to check out some more upcoming matches this week!

HoQ TDM Spring 2016 - Round 4 (32 comments)

Event: HoQ Spring 2016

This Sunday, 17th of April, will see the fourth round of the HoQ TDM Spring Season 2016!

Here is the schedule for this new round.

Division 1 - Sunday 21CEST

Division 2 - Monday 21CEST

Division 3 - Tuesday 21CEST

Map pool and map picking

With two wildcards, one forfeit loss and a failed reschedule, the round 3 could seem pretty quiet. But the div1 game between Team Hungary and the big dicks brought a good three-mapper. Also, the russian clash in div3, RAKS and infinity, ended up with a deciding map. In div2, WORLDSTAR versus Hateful Eight was also a close one.

Quake Live - North American Duel Cup #17 (31 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by phy1um @ 09:54 CDT, 14 April 2016 - iMsg

Scheduled: 16:30 CDT, 17 April 2016 to 20:30 CDT, 17 April 2016
Schedule: Passed

After the rescheduling and eventual cancellation of duel cup #16, I'm pleased to announce that the rest of the season will be going ahead as planned. There will be one final cup on the scheduled date and then the playoffs the following week. In the playoffs the players who have gathered the most points during the season will face off for larger cash prizes.

Due to the cancellation of NADC #16 nobody will be awarded points for that cup, so Rapha is free to continue his clean sweep.

As to why I'm making this thread, unfortunately Flair has decided to step down from running this competition for now. I've been in contact with him and everything is OK, however it isn't the best time for him to be doing these. If anyone wants to help run the cup on the day, especially North Americans, that would be fantastic.

HoQ CA Spring Season 2016 Round 3 Recap (4 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by viaIImaximus @ 12:24 CDT, 12 April 2016 - iMsg

Event: HoQ Spring 2016

The third round of HoQ CA 4v4 Spring Season 2016 was played on April 7th featuring four matches across three divisions. A couple of close matches played in Division 1 and Division 2 made this day very interesting for all CA lovers.

The match results are the following:

Division 1

Division 2

Division 3

Standings:

Division 1

Division 2

Division 3

First things first. There's some bad news that involves a particular team in division 3. The team in question is

Dretwe Lamy, who unable to field enough players to play their games have decided to drop out of the tournament. All the matches have therefore been forfeit wins for their opponents which sees them getting 3 points each. As far as division 3 matches go, there were two played. It seems 2 Steps to Hell stepped up their game and won against Frag Emm Clan (F*E*C) in a 2:0 map win. Unfortunately, for the Because life is izi... clan life proved to be a lot more difficult when facing Loaded/Gunz. With a 2:0 win, LG are toping the group with 12 points with a close second 2StH with 9 points and [IZI A] 3 points.

Exciting things are happening in division 1 and division 2. The main event of the evening being a div 1 match between ENERG and The Northern Tribe. A match that could very well turn out to be the decider for the winner of the group. In that retrospect ENERG is in a better position as they won over tnt in a 3 map thriller, settling down on a 2:1 score. So far ENERG and tnt are tied in the number of points, six to be exact. Having Team CODIAN and whylove breathing down their necks.
Another hair pulling match was taking place in division 2 where the Team PULSE got the scalp off White Ivory. The three mapper clash proved to be a bit too much for White Ivory as they are now third in the group with 3 points. Two Denmark teams are leading the fray in this group with a tie of six points each.

This looks like to be a great CA season as things are pretty even so far. Indeed, not many matches have been played until now but some of the key ones have been and their outcomes are setting the stage for high quality confrontations.

Note: The servers used for official games MUST have HoQ gametype factories (hoq_ca) to enforce the proper CA settings. Please check the rules if you are not sure about something or contact a HoQ CA admin.
