On days 1 and 2, the first matches will start at 10:00 WET. And a last word: It has been confirmed that United Kingdom zsx will not attend the competition. A replacement might be found for him.

So it looks like stermy will attend anyway

something fishy going on here o_O
I guess they have made some kind of a mistake with that, because someone asked about the same thing on esl tv facebook and their response was:
"ESL TV 3.99€ per month if you commit to a 3 months subscription, so normally you have to pay at least 11,97€ . the specila offer ist just 3.99€ one time payment without any obligations."

when atleast to me it seems that 3.99 is the prize for 30 days subscription and if you'd choose the 3 months subscription, the prize would be 3.33€ a month (9.99€ total)

Makes no sense to me. Help, someone?

You pay for 3 months upfront, so 11.97. (which equates to 3.99)

This special offer is 3.99 for 10days.

I paid for this using my VISA Virtual (kind of pre-paid). Left it empty afterwards and the subscription just ended after a month, I didn't even get a mail that there's any problem.

So yeah, 3,99 is normal price for 30 days, which can only turn out being more expensive for people using real credit cards if they forget to unsubscribe :)

Agreed. Dismemberment is the place where intelligent map design goes to curl up and die.
I'd very much like to see t9 get tossed back in the map pool. It's fast, dynamic; and the fact that Cooller was the main mofo in the hood counters the argument that it's all aim-based.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Yes, you could be nvc without esl tv premium.

for anyone having issues with our octoshape based stream, try this sub-site: www.levelupyourgame.net/esl

- try refreshing
- limiting octoshape's upload with something like netlimiter
- make sure you say NO to the Java security warning when loading the stream!!!
- try vlc link: http://127.0.0.1:6498/ms2/1295517639036/0Medi.../tetvkiew1

Atm it's running below 1mb/s but I know octoshape is....

I agree that in an arena dedicated to esports shouldn't have problems like this.

It had happened to me only one more time, but I should knew better.

edit: I also paid for premium, but I am watching now on free. Crap quality, but the only stream that works (withound sound).

Jesus fazz was so unlucky at the start of t7, missed like 50 plasma cells and 4 rails either of which would have killed cypher. After that it looked like he couldnt really focus anymore :/

cyphers dodging does not really stand out compared to other pros, confidence plays a huge role in such games and fazz just was completely crushed after giving away the first very easy kill. he would have gotten it 100% online.

yep, he would have gotten the PG kill because plasma is so random on LAN and way better to use online... oh wait ...

I agree that it went pretty much downhill from there and de-motivation quite likely played a huge part in fazz' dismal aim, but that's also credit to cypher not giving him any easy shots whatsoever.

Looked like Cooller couldn't be arsed to play seriously after getting a bad spawn. Hopefully that changes in the playoffs.

It's hard not to let blatant luck get the better of you, especially when you're skilled and experienced. He should still have played his best, of course.

Quake Live developers (along with those of future FPS esports games) need to look seriously at creating a non-random spawn system. For example, set the maps up so that there are only two initial spawn locations of close to equal advantage (determined by play-testing). Then make all subsequent spawns fully deterministic (eg, furthest away from alive player's current location). Of course, this can be controlled by the alive player, but I don't see anything wrong with that being part of the game. You could counter it by allowing up to 10 seconds respawn delay, which will make for an interesting game of second-guessing when the respawn will happen.

Anyway, as long as it's less random I'd be happier. Luck should be removed as much as possible.

The "furthest away" spawn can often be abused with teleporters and long corridors. A 10 second delay would really ruin the chances for pulling of last-minute comeback.

However, I do wonder if a (not entirely deterministic) system like this would work:

The player who died gets the option to decide where he would like to spawn. For example he could be offered the 4 spawns the furthest away form his killer, or maybe even all spawns. Those points are shown on a mapoverview and you can press a certain key, e.g. 1 - 4, to select it. With some practice the decision process should not take too long.

Of course such a system would probably have to be optional, cause I think it would be quite confusing for new players or people who rarely play.

I think controlling the spawns (including teleporter "abuse") would be a great addition to the game. That being said, I would also support a system like the one you proposed, perhaps even favour it.

I think I wasn't clear enough with my abuse example.

I meant it to be basically with a 2-way teleporter.

have opponent spawn furthest aways, go through tele, frag him, go back through tele, have him respawn in the same spot, rinse, repeat.

Great way to make people quit playing a game.

It works but it's like this: You start the stream and after 1 second it buffers for 15 seconds, then you can watch the stream for 15-20 seconds and the stream closes down -> repeat.

I always wonder why am I even bothering myself trying to watch these godawful streams when I could be doing something better with my time. And when these problems will be fixed I might not have time to even watch it. It's ridiculous.

It's so sad that this game is so fucking underground that these problems are so fucking common on every fucking big LAN tournament. WHY CAN'T US QUAKE FANS HAVE NICE THINGS????!!!!!???

I can't watch lvl^'s stream because it keeps buffering too often. Probably because my internet connection is too slow. ESL official stream was fine earlier today. I don't care about quality.

I dunno how hard it is to get a low quality stream up but I hope they would do it. I watched almost all matches in dreamhack winter when they had a low quality stream. This is a bit disappointing because now I can see only big matches (semi final + grand final) on esl stream :(

same for me. The new lvl^ stream on esl-owned-tv (sigh ...) keeps buffering repeatedly.

I don't think it's due to a lack of bandwith because I only d/l with ~70 kB/s at some points (which causes repeated buffering and then jumps a couple of seconds ahead every now and then) and with ~200 kB/s at others (then the stream is fine).

Unfortunately we can only use 1 ESL-own3d stream, hence no proper LQ one.

This one runs around 1-1.2 MB/s which is pretty low consiering our usual 1.8 MB/s standard.

Well he's right, of course he worded it a bit awkwardly.

But in general when people look for reasons/excuses why they lost, they leave their opponent(s) out of the equation as if they have no influence at all.

Like e.g. "my aim was bad", well yes it was bad because you played vs someone who knows how to avoid easy shots, or is very good at dodging etc.

You know, 2GD would be much worse. Stermy is just too nice to start trashtalking with them. Actually it's just childish behaviour and can't be taken seriously.

But anyways, nice coverage so far. Looking forward to the next two days.

nice to see pros commentating games. This guys (rapha, stermy, zsx and many more) dont try to discribe obvious things, we all can see this AWESOME RAIL/ROCEKT/NADE/PLASMA/SHOTGUN. Ppl arent blind. Stermy shows really important and interesting insights. Great job.

well ztn is a map thats easily "feeling-controllable" and it's extremely hard to play against someone with rail like his

other maps are more "tricky" and he just plays too standard so when his rail isnt 100% he sucks

What does "knowing quake" have to do with being able to replicate a quakelive cfg? I noticed that in their graphic setup the volumetric lights are much less pronounced and I wanted to find out how to achieve that.

Sometimes I think there is something wrong with the game if k1llsens playstyle can contend with the very best.....

I mean hub vs spartie was a close game, and spartie got 14 mega's versus 2; k1llsen's timing was terrible and spartie ran rings around him strategically, yet its still a close game......pfffff

k1llsen didn't play stupid by any means, he made some nice moves to get positioning on red, good defensive play to keep the score close etc.

Considering they hit pretty much the same amount of shots and same accuracies in the end, what decided the game probably actually was timing mega to the second so what's your issue here?

About my aerowalk against k1llsen.1 reason why it was that close was because I had a cameraman behind me touching my neck. So i started screaming to make him go away. Score by then was 6-1 if I remember right, I died and k1llsen made few frags.

Not whining, just pointing this out since you are talking about it....

You don't mind slasher?

I only saw two VOD's till now.. but when you have a guy like stermy that actually plays at the pro level shoutcasting and your talking about killsen awsome ability to hit rails in past competitions you really need to shut.

The game is going on and stermy is giving is pro insight about the game, which is great for someone who plays this game, and the dude is talking about trivial stuff that he actually thinks is productive.

I just ask.. what's up with this guy?

Oh yes, he's zi american.

On the other hand, you mother might be a descendant from my family since we actually have roots here in Europe, and guess what?

You guys have the same roots! Or maybe not anymore, since most colonists were thugs from the most dark european pits and probably their families roots are wiped out.

Then again, you probably won't understand this, since you guys don't care much about history since you guys don't have any.

Just have fishstix and stermy. Fish to make some comments and ask questions to stermy, and stermy to answer them in the 'pro' mind.

Slasher is just fucking shit. Always was and always will be. People are just realizing this? He's horrid at commentating. He cuts off stermy multiple times to give a long speech about bullshit we already saw on stream.

And when stermy is going to say something intelligent he gets cut off by a 'woooooow' in a butch valley girl accent, god wtf man?

I don't understand how people can claim Slasher doesn't have good game knowledge. He has watched and commentated professional Quake for years. He knows tons of details about the past / histories of almost every player in the scene and has a better grasp of eSpors than just about anyone. Hell, he even used to be semi-pro. When I watch a sports broadcast, I am always happy to hear insight on the history / recurring trends with specific players or teams.

Additionally, the notion that we speak about events that just happened for too long and miss what's going on currently is also somewhat confusing to me. Sometimes I do find myself rambling about past events longer than I should, but that's only because I am trying to emphasize a specific point about the nature of the game or the players' tendencies.

I have gotten this type of comment before, and I definitely take it to heart. I am constantly trying to become a better, more coherent caster so I will try to stay current with what I am saying and not ramble. However, it seems to me that many of you are asking for pure play-by-play analysis, and nothing else. Is that really what you want?

You may not care at all, but as a caster its VERY hard to simply brush off this harsh criticism, so be careful what you ask for :P

Quake doesn't have the luxury of little 30 second breaks in between plays for the shoutcaster to talk about those things. Yeah, great, someone just pulled off an amazing frag, too bad while the shoutcaster stops to tell us about it, the game doesn't.

With all that said, I think you guys are doing a great job.

People that watch Quake want to know WHY someone did what they did and not simply get told what just happened when they just themselves saw it.

Almost no casters get this point and its true in all games. Learn the game and then offer insight, dont tell us all what just happened.

You have hundreds of people watching/listening your casting so if you get a dozen or so harsh critics, that doesn't represent that large of percentage of critics. Considering this is ESR, such a low percentage of critics means you must be doing well.

You're no 2GD/Joe/DjWheat... but you don't sit in silence with a loss for words.

Slasher was a semi pro? define semi pro please.

Beating 10 years old in house made LAN's won't count.

Knowing players curriculum and routines or whatever he knows, isn't the same thing then knowing how they/has the game should be played.

Hell i learn more from 2 minutes of stermy then 1 life time of slasher.
For example, stermy started at some point talking about what pros usually do in some kind of situations or what he would do.
That's something worth of listening for a quake player, it's like having stermy lessons for free, can you imagine.

Anyway everyone knows you need to know how to play the game to have a deep knowledge about it.

Btw, 2GD was, in a period of his life, a semi pro.

this. And here we go again with this thread where users/viewers fully support all the leg work Slasher puts in promoting events, posting/plugging upcoming competitions...so much. Yes. Fine.

...but, broken record here: please continue doing all the amazing(no sarcasm) diligent work you pump into the gaming scene, everything EXCEPT casting!
Case in point: Noctis v. Fazz --nVc solocasting first two matches
+ NEVER "oooos!" after a great rail...or great shot. He actually pauses and talks about how the shot will set up the player's next strategem.
+ This quality CANNOT be underestimated in casting -- has an almost filtered, smooth voice, like when a pilot on the overhead tells you "We'll be landing in about 35minutes to clear skies and balmy 85 degree[29 Cels!] weather folks"
+ stays on topic with an even-mannered professionalism devoid of awkward topic dropping, ill-placed profanity or faux verbal posing(e.g., "that's how I do it - I just keep it real!")

Then the third match on dm13, Slasher joined the casting. GG. d/c

On the other hand, if I understand this correctly, you have to pay for Calipt and Joe right? Then I apologize for complaining about free casting. You get what you don't pay for.

Have you ever listened to professional sports casters? In the NBA, they go 'OOH' when Blake Griffin dunks over Ama're. Its not a calm 'and that was a nice dunk.' That would be boring as all living shit. And no offense to nVc, but I wouldn't exactly say he has a radio-friendly voice.

I understand that. You've taken one of my criticisms "ooooh'ing" out of the bigger whole. The WAY he does this is grating (I know, I know...subjective) and jarring (bcuz he says it quite frequently).

As for the NBA where there's a TON of scoring e.g.,105-98, the professional sportscasters (who actually do voice training and ofc TV/R degree programs) vary their jubilation and excitement. What WOULD actually be boring as living shit? Hearing the same excited exclamation for each shot!

As for nVc's voice: I'm American but I listen to BBC a lot. His voice sounds a bit like Calipt, which I like. And he sounds like he's talking on an airplane's overhead, but reassuringly, like everything's going to be okay!

In the voiceover business, there's two kinds of voice talents: unique and generic. If a caster doesn't have that unique "ear charming" personality, then I'll take a neutral, direct, plain-spoken, generic voice like nVc OVER a disjointed, grating, fluctuating voice personality any day.

i find nvc (along with 2gd and disrepute) very pleasant to the ear - he has that 2 packs o' smokes a day voice that fits really nicely.
Also, someone said that rapha gives turbo in-depth insight when casting. I really didn't get that impression from dreamhack. I get the feeling he's holding back A LOT when he's analysing plays. Maybe he's just wary of sharing his knowledge of the metagame, or he's simply half-assing his casts and doesn't want to make the effort.
You are great at bringing that communication smoothness and acting as a cohesion element whenever you're casting with someone, especially with Greased.
Slasher (mr WOOOOOW!) and wheat (DJ OHMYGAAAAWD!) really don't fall in any of these categories.

IMO the best casting crews i've heard so far are
2gd + joe
dis + nvc
greased + fish
zsx + ischju

But knowing esport history and trivia is not what matters while commentating a match.

Yeah, you can have slasher talk between matches and tell us how it was back in the day and what food spartie likes and how much booze can strenx drink before passing out. But during the duel, all he ever does is say YEAH HE NOW HAS A BIGGER STACK THAN HIS OPPONENT, HE HAS 60 MORE HEALTH AND THAT WILL HELP HIM CHALLENGE FOR THE NEXT RED. This is as far as his 'insight' can go.

Moreover, he's socially awkward. His jokes are weird and misplaced to say the least and he always seems to create an awkward tension between him and whoever he's casting with. It was really nice seeing how Stermy did not buy into any of his failed remarks and kept it cool, direct, and on-topic.

If I cast with Stermy and Slasher again, IMO we each fall into pretty clear roles, so I'll try to emphasize that. I feel most comfortable with play-by-play enthusiastic casting, and can do intros and outros. I will defer to Stermy for color commentary and in-depth analysis, and Rod will bring historical knowledge and also do a little play-by-play.

Well, that's how it would work ideally in my mind at least :)

Don't mean to be offending, but sometimes you seem to be a little slow to react on what is going on on the stream. You keep talking, something amazing/game changing happens, and you comment on it way later.

Also everthing havz0r said. Slasher, please hold back on the trash talk, this is not LiveOnThree.

PS: I want to hear DjWheat casting again. One of my favourite shoutcasters.

cooller vs noctis is awesome...
one of the few enjoyable dismemberment matches i have ever seen and then t7 was such a nail biter. noctis taking crazy risks to pull of the comeback and then cooller gets the lg spawn, the only spawn that offered him a chance and he swings it back. cant wait for the third maps. and ncotis for once looks like he really wants to win^^

i agree he does look very weak

but the cause for this is allways the same: while all the other players (i mean the ones who takes this competition serious) were practicing 24/7 for the past few months, he just plays 8 hours a day for one week before the lan => this is good enough to defeat noctis who also doesnt give a shit about this but forget about final or even 3rd place cos strenx gonna rape him ez

every match i watch from cypher or avek or even klillsen they all bring something more to their game while cooller is in his shape from dubai...

+ he switched to another mouse and sitting posistion

im still wondering why any team is interested in having noctis in their quake team cos he just doesnt give a shit

id rather have madix who is bad but can get better cos he CARES or at least gives this impression

2-1 would 100% be enough for noctis to go through
.
if tox1c wins 2-0 however it gets interesting because we'd have the following
noctis 6-7
tox1c 5-6
fazz 4-7
So noctis and tox1c would pretty much have the same stats. I suppose noctis would move on though because he beat tox1c in their direct encounter

Not sure where all the hate for Slasher is coming from.

Maybe he's not the best caster around, I'll give you that and maybe he's voice may not be too easy on ears, but please, at least he's trying to do something for YOU people, for the whole quake community.

There's still a lot of things that can be improved and he's talking a lot less today as opposed to yesterday's marathon. All in all I don't think anyone bashing him would do a better job. It's just childish to spew profanity because you don't like his voice.

18:43 Nukm • no but what you descibed seemed like this e-sport from the top approach, randomly bringing it out there without the proper foundation. and the core competitive community (not the same as irc guys but close) is as part of the ecosystem that needs to grow as a whole casual people and the organizers and the casters and the sponsors

We like other people besides 2gd.
But to commentate you either have to be good player to offer insight or good entertainer to keep people excited. If you are none of that, DON'T FUCKING DO WHAT YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO.
If you're a fat lazy person who eat burgers and watch tv all day, you won't go and compete in a marathon. If you are dumb and don't know anything about computers, you wouldn't try to get a job as a system programmer. It's obvious things that everyone understands. But for some fucking reasons some people knowing perfectly that they are boring as hell, can't talk properly and don't have deep knowledge about duel gameplay, they ANYWAY join the stream and talk their crap and bore viewers to death.
Please, people, if you're not qualified, don't do the job! How hard is it to understand?

there are many casters who do well (zsx, cal1pt, issue, joe) but PLZ get rid of those slashers / for3casts people that annoy the crap out of the viewer, have horrible voices and most important: are always wrong about what happens ingame

and if you insist on letting those guys talk - give us a button to mute em without muting the ingame sound

Avek's fault that the game was that boring. He played like a pussy and was looking for the one opportunity. Strenx just ran the map and raped avek whenever he tried to attack.Btw. Strenx's timing is really impressive wish k1llsen could do the same :P

Sorry but this event has been boring so far for me. People caring more about the casters than the games, says itself.

I remember ESL Dubai and ESL Europe being superb events. Almost no delays, quake matches following eachother afterwards etc. so you would not miss a match. Just alot of quake. ESL Europe did not have a stage and a huge crowd but was still and awsome event and was run smoothly. I much prefer that than what we have here.

I have not been able to see many games today.
Octoshit has not been working for me. Matches doesnt happen on time and you dont have much info on when it will start. Instead you just see warmup of players and listens to casters.

I also dont see a reason why the event has to span over 4 days. Every day seems to start off with problems, so instead I would try to get as many games a possible within the days. I don't see why we cant have the rest of the games tomorrow instead of spanning it over two days. That way we also have a better idea of which form the players are in.

Luckily it is not like in 2006 where you would spend all day and only end up seeing one game which was something like Lost-Cauze vs destrukt, but it seems to me ESL is going backwards compared to the before mentioned ESL Events.

This is just my personal view as a spectator. It might be different from players who care more about a big stage and don't really need a stream to watch the game.

And also 2GD!
I don't understand why ESL can't invite 2GD for a few selected major events, I remember how I watched whole Dubai/IEM4 Euro from start to finish, but now I just let the stream run muted in background and turn it on only for a few "big" games... I think it was because 2GD was still entertaining even during the most boring matches.

I havent saw all the games but, honestly, the level has been average for now for what i've seen.
Maybe because there are no americans to challenge and this guys have played each other so many times games tend to be a bit easy to predict - gameplan and score wise.
When i saw noctis vs fazz for example, it looked like a random pub game of 2 guys running around the map hitting each other.
Anyway i think we will have exciting games, hopefully cooller - strenx (ultra mega whine fest), if cooller doesn't have one of his famous downs vs killsen, and cypher vs avek (another great display of pure talent).

GG's for tomorrow!

And good work from everyone involved.

Joe, please stop showing the scoreboard every few seconds, it is really annoying, nobody cares about fcking stats. If you really have nothing better to talk about, please use +acc.

Also, why is ql only shown in 4:3 on esl? It supports 16:9 perfectly, sc2 is streamed in 16:9 as well.

And id software still didnt manage to fix the scoreboard bug, where both have the same name at the start.
I think this bug was around at Quakecon 2009 .......

Strenx has been looking great since he started collecting gdata/zotac cups.
What i don't get is why the other players still stick to his gameplan.
Everyone knows he has the best aim in the game (in terms of raw aim and consistency), and one of the best timings based on his huge tourney experience in the last 2 years (probably the most active of them all in the last two years), and people still let him play his game.
When a guy like strenx gets control of the map you can't expect him to do mistakes like missing 3 rails or 50% of the shaft misstiming or whatever coz he doesnt.
Imo only eastern europe way of playing style can beat his game atm, meaning cypher av3k cooller since it's more based on fast pace hitting stuff from all over the place which forces people to play their game.

Anyone who will just try to stand and bang vs strenx will lose.

Yes definitly he's better.
But talking about raw aim i'm not sure, you know one guy in front of the other CA style i don't know.
But since cypher has better dodging plays faster and he has really crazy unpredictible moves he makes the other players look bad coz they are always running after his game.
Those eastern europeans top players don't rely on stand and bang aim, they actually use their brains.

That's why imo strenx is at the moment the best western europe player (even tho i don't like the kid). Because everyone there has a similar style to him but he's better at it.

wtf is up with own3d, never had any problems with their service.

Couldn't watch the last games yesterday. Not a single own3d stream or vod working. But started working working right after last QL match.

Now i had 2 streams open whole morning, and both die at the same time and the same as last night. All streams/vods just show black. Very occasional a spinning loader, but mostly just black
