ESL announced QUAKE Live 1on1 Ladder (78 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by Badb0y @ 08:30 CST, 17 February 2009 - iMsg

The

Electronic Sports League European section announced today their first QUAKE Live League.
Best thing is you can start right now playing in the

Quake Live 1on1 Ladder, the signups are already open! To participate you just need to enter your Quake Live name in your ESL profile, the new matchmaker function helps you to find an opponent easily.

It seems some surprises will follow for this test ladder, the ESL said: "The new Quake Live 1on1 Ladder is a very special ladder with lots of events. So it isn't the simple Ladder you know from other Games. Stay tuned for more information in future."

Mappool: qzdm6, qzdm13, tourney4, tourney6, tourney7
The matches will be played "Best-of-One" with a timelimit of 10 minutes.

bo3 would make it annoying when someone joins the server and disagrees to spec after the 1st map :p

Agree with an opponent (or agree on deleting maps) or just select "Random" as map, which then selects a map randomnly.

Destroys the point of having a strong map.

<< Comment #21 @ 10:06 CST, 17 February 2009 >>

By

blaze - Reply to #15

if you've only got one strong map I suggest that you don't play anything else. Cause that's an option also in a ladder.

<< Comment #24 @ 10:58 CST, 17 February 2009 >>

By

vedic - Reply to #21

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, so it's unfair to any player to simply have one test of strength.

<< Comment #43 @ 14:33 CST, 17 February 2009 >>

By

blaze - Reply to #24

A ladder might not be the best way to prove who's best though. Since everyone doesn't play the same amount of games and so on.

<< Comment #51 @ 15:39 CST, 17 February 2009 >>

By

therogue - Reply to #43

a ladder definitely is not the best way to prove who's best, that's what tournaments are for, but a ladder does give a basic competitive environment to play in and a loose ranking

bo1 sucks tho

btw it really is a pity that most of those, who have registered now will be gone in a few weeks, after they were owned a few times - and in the end the ladder will only be filled with the same old players :Y

bo1, so you don't have to switch server because of annoying spectators not leaving when asked to. Just play more matches, the spam protection is set to 3 days, so you can play eachother every 3 days. So there should be plenty of chances to play different maps against the same opponent.

We are also planing on some cups, which will be bo3, but still discussing how to make it the best way, so it won't be too annoying on public servers.

<< Comment #34 @ 12:43 CST, 17 February 2009 >>

xou - Reply to #26

One problem would be if the friend of a player joins the server as spec and chat with him on vent or teamspeak. It would be nice to get duel servers with only 3 or 4 slots so they can be filled easily with an admin or two.

<< Comment #37 @ 12:55 CST, 17 February 2009 >>

By

Rondrian - Reply to #34

yep, another problem, as long as we don't play for prizes and stuff, it's not really an issue, but it prevents us from running real tournaments.

great move ESL.
keep it like that. BO1 and timelimit 10 is totally enough for a laddermatch which is not that important all after all :)

problem is, its one of the few alternatives we have in ql. not taking it in the mappool would be even worse imho

Maplist is only partly id's fault. It might be nice to see some new maps, but fact is, id can't include maps like ztn or the old osp or threewave ctf maps.
This is because of legal issues. Since id wants to earn money with ql somehow, the mapreators probably want to participate in id's earnings. Therefore a contract is necessary and including financial issues isnt an easy part. Everyone wants a part of the cake.

They can have hub. Hub is aerowalk from q1, an ID map. Better than nothing. And ID made t6 and t7 to replace those two maps they couldn't get. Correct me f I'm wrong but ztn is an id map from qw as well, or was that just a user map?

<< Comment #71 @ 03:22 CST, 19 February 2009 >>

son1dow - Reply to #70

I think not only ztn but also aerowalk is a user map, I don't know exactly tho ;(

<< Comment #73 @ 04:21 CST, 19 February 2009 >>

By

fjorgyn - Reply to #70

ztn in qw = ztndm3.... now guess if its by id or not....

aerowalk is by preacher, so not by id either.
