Finding the best CSGO gambling sites in 2019 is not that easy. CSGO gambling has had a chequered past to say the least, with many sites being shut down and penalised because of illegal activity.

There is clearly a demand among some Counter-Strike lovers to bet on their favourite game but for the sector to be sustainable long-term, CSGO gambling sites must comply with the laws - primarily for the safety and security of esports fans but also for the sake of themselves.
Frazer "Fraze" Hockley has passed away (6 comments)

Repost from the announcement in the Kuachi Cups discord:

In Memory of Frazer "Fraze" Hockley

It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and esteemed community member, Frazer "Fraze" Hockley. As one of the longest-standing members of our Australian Quake community, Fraze's impact was felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him or watching him play.

Fraze began his competitive journey in Quake Live, quickly rising through the ranks with his exceptional skill and unwavering determination, side by side with his brother and sparring partner, Camma. His passion for the game took him across the globe to Europe, where he held his own against and defeated some of the world's best players. His performances were nothing short of inspiring, showcasing not only his personal talent but also elevating the profile of Australian players on the international stage.

Beyond his competitive achievements, Fraze was a generous mentor and entertainer. Through his tutorials and streams, he taught countless players the intricacies of the game in an entertaining and easy to understand manner, always eager to share his knowledge and help others improve. His ability to talk while playing a the highest level was extremely unique and this made him maybe the most entertaining quake streamer ever. His contributions have also been instrumental to the community in nurturing new talent and brought us together with entertainment and highlights. His streams were more than just gameplay; they were a reflection of his love for the game and passing on that passion to others who shared it.

In Diabotical, Fraze was part of some of the game's most unforgettable moments, whether it was his streams, his tournament matches, or his interviews. His gameplay was a perfect blend of high-level competition and entertainment. Similarly, in Quake Champions, he remained an absolute beast, quickly improving with his grit and grind approach and then consistently defeating top-tier players, and ultimately coming in 1st place in AQL4.

On a personal note, every time I faced Fraze in a match, you could feel his determination in game. Yet, no matter how intense the competition, he always took the time afterward to share some words about what he enjoyed about the game and have a laugh. His grit and relentless pursuit of excellence were qualities I think we all admired.

Fraze's legacy goes beyond his accolades and achievements. I think I speak for all of the community when I say he was a beacon of inspiration, a mentor, and a friend to many. His contributions have left an ever-lasting mark on our community, and his absence will be deeply felt.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Fraze. Thank you for the memories, you will be missed, but never forgotten.

Take The Crown: Horde Edition… and MDF! (No comments)
Posted by HumanBones @ 13:38 CDT, 19 September 2024 - iMsg
The Multiplayer Doom Federation (MDF) is back! Originally launched in 2018, MDF was created to blend the competitive intensity of online Doom with the sheer fun of community-driven play. Our goal has always been to create an environment that welcomes everyone—from longtime veterans to complete newbies. Through countless events, tournaments, mapping projects, podcasts, and streams, we achieved that vision.

In 2022, MDF evolved into Doom Central (DC), where many of you joined us for a variety of events and projects, and for that, we’re incredibly grateful. Now, we believe the timing is right to bring MDF back to its roots.

You may remember our wide range of tournaments, covering every game mode imaginable: FFA, Duel, CTF, 3-way CTF, Dominatrix, TDM, TLMS, LMS, and more. Many of you also discovered us through our annual prize pool event, Take The Crown. And, to my surprise, I've even heard from people who still listen to our Doom Is Dead? Podcast!

As we return, you can expect many of these classic events, but with a renewed focus on community-driven initiatives and projects. We’re especially excited to announce Take The Crown: Horde Edition, happening on **November 2nd**, complete with a prize pool! Check out the attached poster for all the details. Get ready to take on the Horde and prove your skills!

Hi everyone,

This autumn we are hosting a QuakeLive CTF 4v4 league, just as in the good old days. The main difference with lots of other CTF-related events is the format: it is not a draft but a team event: you must find an existing team to join or create one yourself. There are already about 40 people ready to play, and we already have three teams.

Region: Europe
Duration: depends on the number of teams and the pace, from one month.
Schedule: Flexible. The league starts on the first week of September. End date - TBD.
Format: Groups, then double elimination.
Prize pool: 1000+ euros
Divisions: Depending on the teams registered, by the agreement with the others, we will have either one division or two. The first division will consist of the best players based on the community knowledge and/or the House Of Quake ratings at the time before the league starts; the second will be of the teams, the players of which are less experienced and/or have lower ratings.
Team roster limit: Only five people are allowed in a team.
Maps: q3wcp9, japanesecatles, infinity, troubledwaters, ironworks.
Team limit: ~
Servers: Custom private servers.
Streamers: TBD
Sponsors: TBD
Rules: TBD
Discord: https://discord.gg/qd8Krx7kTk

If you want to participate, please join the discord.

In this discord, not only can you find other players to team up with, but you can also play pickups and stay up-to-date with this league and, possibly, future leagues.

Once you gather a team, contact the administrators in the #general channel: anyone with the "Custom Shop QL Team" role.

For those who are interested, I would invite you to join the House of Quake discord server where there is an ongoing discussion in the CTF-league channel regarding the exact league format - forming the teams (self-initiating or draft), tournament format (Swiss format, Double round robin) and other possible settings.

There are ongoing negotiations with sponsors, but as of far, there is no prize pool.

On Thursday, 25th of April, there will be a final announcement of the league's format. Registration opens this Sunday and will close on the 28th of April. Until then, I invite you to join the discord and help us with the decision!
