yay

go go FOX!

200$ for draven

sif

really surprised, n1

Isn't this happening the exact same day QCon begins?

# In 22 days - QuakeCon 2010 (7*/71)
# In 28 days - Gamescom'10: IEM5 GC (0*)

Give more cash to 4th place, and maybe $100 to 9-16

And increase 1st and 3rd place money

woot looking forward to some epic quake games :) hope the qcon coverage is good :x

yep every year the hopes are high and the coverage, well... CRAP.

same players & maps every other week in duel lans, twice a week in the 100€ cups, how about a bit of change with tdm or ctf for a lan?

At the same event you'll also get so see the ENC finals, which have QL TDM.

No one cares as much about TDM and CTF at a competitive level to host a LAN tournament about it.

Well I care and I want to see thoses players competing on lan. The scene and interes in ctf and tdmt is way too small that esl would consider it to make it a big game in iem. Trust me you will never see neither tdm nor ctf in iem.

Thats just a chicken and egg situation. Obviously interest will increase once ESL or other organizations start hosting money lans for TDM and/or CTF.

No, they won't. There are plenty of team shooters which have a higher interest than tdm or ctf. I watched the quadgaming tournament and it had like 500 viewers or something if I remember correctly. Furthermore iem does already have a team fps with counterstrike and I doubt that you'll ever have the same amount of interest and viewers for tdm and ctf. Tdm is for non quakers boring and not so easy to get. ctf might be a possebility but it's kinda boring to see one or two flag captures in 20 minutes.

QL is a main title of the IEM season once again. Since they got CS already there is no space for another team mode game, so why not 1on1?

2v2!

would be cool

yeah true, and im glad there are any lans for QL. but it seems the duel market is so over saturated atm these tournaments seem very ordinary now :/ duel being so hard doesnt help, since we just basicly see the same players every time. atleast we're getting new maps soon, hope we atleast give the _NEW_ ones a shot aswell instead of just the old ones that are being added

i get your point and i have to agree. it's getting boring seeing the same players all the time. but hey, after quake 4 people thought the time of the duel games in the esport scene are over :)

I think the proper way to go is to make either zotac or gdata or both take the tdm/ctf/2on2 route.

yeah cycling teammodes for one of them would be awesome, 2on2 first weekend, ctf next, 4v4 tdm third, start from the beginning... it probably would have to be zotac cause its hard to get 3 team mates on a saturday :D but i guess it could work out since its during afternooon

actually perfect for local teams.

Whoever wins can use the $100 to get "started" :D

strenx will have to play a team game to make his weekly allowance!

someone has to say it!

why doesnt it excite me like it used to ,,,

btw: fuck you esl for putting female cs over ql at the live venue except for the final last year ;)

you owe me some entrance fee ;P

hope killsen will be there, beating everyone on home turf!

would be awesome. not happening tho. :(

Great effort. ESL have really established themselves as backbone of QL tournament scene.

3 days between major events in differing timezones. should be fun.

:>

like the distribution, we need more encouragement like this for great players outside the top5 but are still awesome

Holy shit!

I will try to send mail for invite and hope deal for tickets with druidz.

gl!

guard showing up at a lan, hahahaha...

oh fuck, we can't joke about that anymore :[

:DDDDDD

i would like to see either some new players or some oldschool players comeback

Funny, QL gets promoted big time and ID doesn't seem to give a shit about it. After all there were only minor changes in all the years (only two new maps) and spectator-wise it is still far behind from CPMA VQ3.

Edit: I am talking about Duel

maps its in the way duuuudeee...

10 years old maps :)

i think there is 3 entirely new maps but i dont know if they are duel maps.

Depends what you mean by id, I think the team working on the game does care, but they don't get any support from the wider company because they make no money.

xou, i think you misspelled masters.application@esl.eu, want me to fix that for ya?

what you did there, I see it

knock yourself out :)

prize money for all placings is nice, not much but hopefully enough to keep everyone motivated

Nice to see this :). Quake is getting more attention lately, witch is good.
