What happened to sparks streaming this?

Does he no longer want to or he is not allowed to? There was a bit of drama last week when Winz kicked him off some server after flair claimed to have "exclusive rights" or someshit.

Yeah fnx-za, not sure!

I think my stream was removed because I only streamed limited games the past couple of weeks, but it's been hard with all the re-scheduled events.

I was around last Wednesday and updated my stream title for HOQ, but then was told that the two teams that were going to play wildcarded and re-scheduled.

I will be around this Wednesday to stream the events though, if doz3r will allow of course.

removed by accident, wanted to delete only funnyb's stream as he is never around

I refuse to believe that.

Well there's never something to stream.

ouch gg

Infernal Gamerz take wildcard vs Unknown as Cypher is not available

Seriously, the amount of fkn wildcard is so annoying...

every team has 2 wildcards per season

that's one too many

No, that's two too many. Wildcards and reschedules have no place in any league. Field a team or lose by walkover.

this is quite standard, clanbase had the same rules to avoid freelancing.
Otherwise for example you could just sign up a shit team to play in division 2 and then just use non registered top players who would normally play in division 1 to play for you and smash everyone in division 2. What would be the point of that?

about the wildcard, I could understand no wildcards, but sometimes you could have a major issue out of your control that stops you from playing, for instance if you're all playing from the same country and the main ISP is down, or whatever else.

Of course in HoQ there's 10 teams left and you'd need to get 2 teams divisions to actually provide equal skill level within a division. So we have 2 divisions and it still happens that top div2 team looks better in practice than bottom div1 team.

And last season we had a team where Silencep played on one team with MGee (in the old times that would be div1 and div5 player).

So you're saying avoiding freelancing stops those things from happening, even though they are allowed and accepted with "statics" teams?



There are situations in every sport when a player can't participate in some games in a season. Quake's duel is similar to other duel-type sports like tennis or FFA-type sports like ski jumping (so there's x tournaments in a year, you don't play in all of them but collect winnings and/or points from the ones you went to).

So why can't Quake's team games be like other team-based sports like football? Your player can't play, you get someone from the bench. Yes, they need to register all players including the bench on the previous day. But the players can be bought or borrowed from other clubs, no problem.

tl;dr: I see absolutely no reason for any of this madness other than "because CB did it equally wrong".

I think a 24 hour notice to sub in another player is 100% fine. If a team has an issue playing against a ringer because their opponents are no longer "pure" then that is a matter of pride. One which the "pure" team can overcome and celebrate in their own way. There is no money on the line here. No lives hanging in the balance waiting to be decided by you making the shot or throwing the game (gosh I hope not anyway!). This is Quake! What we have left we need to enjoy. Those teams who will take a forfeit over bringing in a ringer can do so, but as both a caster and a viewer I think the wildcard situation is a bit ridiculous. The HoQ League has been set up and ran in this fashion for many seasons; true. As Lam has pointed out though: "tl;dr: I see absolutely no reason for any of this madness other than "because CB did it equally wrong". (c) Lam

Oh well it has been said before I am simply echoing my thoughts on the --- MESSAGE COULD NOT BE COMPLETED flair vs world - wildcard

Week 4 VOD (aka: What we were doing while you watched Elder ^^)
Division One: PlanB vs 102
Division Two: Scythe vs B52 <--- Nice Game!!*

We still have Sunday's games but I'd be surprised if anything this week could top the Scythe vs B52 match. The opening map (Ragnarok) provided an interesting and surprising result. I do admit that the second map (dreadful place) is a bit boring, but the third map (DM20) closes us out with 440 frags and a very close decider. Enjoy
