Kewin

someone is excited :p

http://www.bloodywarriors.com

german stream there

Make sure to spam TheBeard if you don't get a slot on the server.

Is this still going on? Is there a stream up anywhere?

Russian stream here: http://www.own3d.tv/live/3512

Zotac cup is tomorrow ;)
I wonder what tourney they are showing on the russian stream though.

Weird, I saw brackets with Agent and Pavel, then turned on the stream and there they were o_O

Russian stream is 50 steps ahead

Russian stream will prolly be showing Freeze tag!

it is winter in Russia after all

Hopefully Cooller vs Strenx at somepoint during the tourney :)

crappy pings

Aw :(

Really. Where else would you ever want them to meet than ON THE LAN.

True :)

But the more games between the two, the better imo :)

Should be pretty ok on the new Swedish servers

On swe servers I'm guessing they'd both ping 40-50

Czech Quake is going to shoutcast whole tournament at www.quake.cz with Hawr1x and guests

Russian stream on GG.RU for Zotac, NC TDM and NC CTF

English stream 14:00 CET @ http://TheBeard.TV/

u should start dueling if u want to cast duel tourneys cos u got no clue about whats actually happenin during the match

good thing he got madix (when hes out of the tourney) to do the analysis then.

still this cast is a fail

i agree the guy CAN BE a good caster but he needs some deeper knowledge cos now its just embarrassing

What's embarrassing is you arguing over that

n/c

You're an idiot. Have you listened to him once? I'd argue he's better than ischju, because he at least attempts to do a little more than play by play.

I have yet to hear anything that would indicate he doesn't know what he is talking about.

he casts SSF4, trackmania, ql and sc2 from what i know, and u expect him to practice duel so that he can become a better caster for one game? what ur demanding is totally unreasonable.

thebeard casts are ok rly, now that lvl^ dropped zotac

Nah, I really enjoy the Beard's casts; he never rants and talks about asides, he is always relevant, consistent and absolutely no arrogance (hello slasher).

You have to remember that he will have an audience who are not familiar to QL as well, who are checking out zotacs out of curiosity due to watching his casts in other games; couldn't think of a better caster for that role, personally.

The other thing I really like about his casts is he approaches it like a radio show; when there is no live game, there is some analysis about the matches just played, what is coming up; big names playing/getting knocked out early, and having some fitting background music too.

I just have the stream on when I'm studying, listening to it like a radio until a game is on.

Well, it certainly makes my Sunday afternoon's more enjoyable, so big thanks to the Beard =)

i completely agree with u. thebeardtv is well suited for zotac cups :D

???

Wouldn't say we dropped it, just that there are so many streams for it now we really are not needed. Also I believe most weeks we have still streamed the final stages.

have ischju (from my understanding, ur main duel caster) casted one zotac since he got back from dreamhack? :D

i think he got a little umotivated casting for all the shit he got for his hard work there... So many stupid flamers around nowadays. Demanding everything and contributing nothing.

They do contribute, we have enough bricks, kerosene and popcorn to build a shelter and see 2013.

rly lame excuse-------_-

It is not really a lame excuse if you get criticised so strongly for the work you do. Its not exactly motivating to spend your own time trying to improve the coverage of a game, only to have your work ripped to shreds.

Luckily issue is a positive individual and can rise above some of the abuse he received, taking the positive comments and learning from the constructive. But most people would not wake up on a Sunday and be itching to get on air and stir up some more flame would they?

Slasher would. : D

no i agree with u on that he got overly flamed, even if he only was trying to do something nice. but rly, did he ever expect anything else? he wasnt doing all that well ever rly, and the quake commuinty isnt that forgiving. never took ischju for a stupid person, but if he was expecting not to get flamed, hes stupid as fuck

As I said there was already 6 streams this weekend so we really wouldn't be needed. The Zotac cups are like that now, a one stop shop for any aspiring streamer to commit to for a few months before things become boring. If issue or nvc were available for these cups and a streamer as well then we would cover them if required, but there really is no reason when you already have perfectly good streams running that people have no complaints about.

Zotac was never really a cup we covered much anyway, it was forecasts baby, and the reason we stream is not to personally benefit it is simply to provide a video stream to games that would otherwise not be seen. Our aim is to improve the experience with what we hope is a good standard of commentary and decent video quality to boot. We love the game and do it for fun, not for self promotion or the idea that it will make us any money. This is why we have been around the longest and have no intention of stopping, but also the reason we will not fight over viewer numbers for the sake of it.

sounds reasonable. thou 5/6 streams were in 'not english' :D but as i said earlier, now that thebeardtv is covering zotacs, im fine if u leave it to him

you spoiled piece of shit. Do something yourself instead of just demanding from others

cant

im too spoiled

haha beard d:

GameSportsTV will provide a German stream starting at 16:00 CET.
http://broadcasting.gamesports.net/de/broadcast/3071/

it will be interesting

no Cooller? :/

"the quake live is the worst community to have to moderate the shat"

:DD

quake live down lol

It is:)

thx quakelive

lol @ beard calling garpy and doj "average"

how much lack of knowledge can you make up with coolness? ;)

not much thats why he started to annoy me

seriously if u dont know nothing about the game just keep your mouth shut or go learn if u want to cast it

cheap trolling

poorly worded, just try to remember what he said right after : that they are right under the pros. Might seem a bit harsh for garpy ( iirc he's still playing for dignitas ) but that's not stupid, and I doubt either doj or garpy would say and mean something really different.

He didn't say they were "right under" the pros, did he?

"a bit under the pros " maybe?

My point is that he didn't say it to be mean, because he doesn't know shit or anything, anyone interested in the duel scene perfectly knows where they are, his comment was certainly aimed towards the random guys watching his stream cause he streams a ton of stuff.

The way i am playing lately im not even avarage ;)

doj is average

69 lol

OMFG EPIC FAIL ID

cancel whole tournament :S

single point of failure = 24/7 service or gtfo

ggs

derp

Fuck :(

cancelled

damnit id :(

id just pathetic... and its not news... this always happens when pure commercialism prevails. ns

yes it's pathetic and syncerror is part of id

You're in no position to call anything or anyone pathetic.

is that why others are in position and others talking about mom jokes that aren't funny

Can someone translate that ? ( I think I get it but the english kinda ruins the joke, if there's actually one )

Stop molesting the English language you sad piece of fuck.

Shut your hole faggot. Syncerror is a huge boil on the ass of id. Someone competent would have already had quakelive be a success out of beta instead of a failed broken piece of shit.

They started the beta by doing whatever the fuck they wanted, only occasionally listening to arqon about stuff like adding CA and some other good commands.

And finally now that ql is shit they are taking some advice from the players and esreality when its far too forgone to save the game.

How about you speak some Lithuanian as good as that guy speaks English.

Yes, Sync is the one and only responsible for any failure related to QL.

well said he sucks

+1

The crowd applauds to id.

fail -___________-

Big FAIL syncerror wtf you doing

stop randomly throwing in syncerrors name when any problem related to ql occurs, its just stupid

you not the only one who has personal opinion

just to be clear: syncerror had probably nothing to do with ql being down at all.

you do know that right?

you know, personal opinions can still be wrong, absurd and stupid
but please elaborate why you think syncerrors fails here

how about you explain why you think he's not, instead of throwing the same assumptions.

not that I agree or disagree... just drunk

how about you explain why you think he's not

never said that i think it is not his fault, my point was thats it is stupid to (always) blame sync when anything ql related fucks up and you know nothing about what happened.

that being said i also think that it is unlikely that a technical issue like this is being caused by sync or somehow his fault. but as i do not know what his exact job is at id at this pointm i wouldnt wanna judge without any further information

That's a bit stupid to assume he's not related/faulty/anything when you don't know anything as well. Let's not pretend you know more than this guy when you're not giving any info about it.

I'm curious to know who's in charge of this service on a Sunday early morning (read: Sunday afternoon in Europe = the time euros want to play) when your product is something more or less worldwide - lets agree on occidental/japan/maybe korean. It took a while to have them figure out what the problem is, it's not the first time nor the last time. It happened during big LAN events (not in USA obviously). People who paid for pro or premium don't really have any voice when id is sleeping.

This guy puts it in sync's face, because he's in the dark... I feel the same... But I don't think it's the major problem. For now, my main criticism is this system is too centralized: one slight problem and everything is fucked.

I don't really know what I'm replying to at this point... I guess I just wanna make a point.

Also, "The server at www.quakelive.com is taking too long to respond."

It's been more than 12 hours...

That's a bit stupid to assume he's not related/faulty/anything when you don't know anything as well.

"never said that i think it is not his fault," and "i wouldnt wanna judge without any further information"

on the rest of your post: seconded
but even if i am not satisfied i find it a bit short sighted to blame sync, i blame id cause in the end i dont fucking care who is supposed to make ql work, but it needs to happen

"That's a bit stupid to assume he's not related/faulty/anything when you don't know anything as well. Let's not pretend you know more than this guy when you're not giving any info about it."

Actually, if you have no idea what happened, it's more stupid to randomly place the blame with sync than not.

SURPRISE! You should have known better by now.

Quake Live's Twitter,

"The QL Team has verified that all of our servers are online but inaccessible, we are working with our ISP to resolve the outage."

where?


(it's not here: http://twitter.com/quakelive)

It's also on Facebook

its there?
http://twitter.com/#!/quakelive/status/34270661312512002

not for me. I can only see it by following your link.

Do I have to be logged in if I want to see the newest tweets or something?

The most recent one I can see is

# QUAKE LIVE is back online with QLPP6 - http://bit.ly/hh6YC1 5:09 PM Feb 2nd via web

oh noes...t3h fl00d iz here!!

Can haz moar care?

oh well.
*loads up q3*

hf playing anarki on I can win

that's tier 4, i can't get past sarge yet :(

man, still down :(

xfire is also down, so i guess it indeed is something unrelated to id.

The Xfire website is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance.

?

"Our ISP's engineers have located and are replacing a faulty firewall to remediate the network connectivity issue." @ fb

That's laughable. Anything larger than grand dad's grocery shop has a clustered firewall with two nodes minimum, for at least one spare to kick in IMMEDIATELY in case the main node goes down.

Either they're misinformed, or lying, or a most pitisome noob shop ready for everything except business.

You do understand that there firewall is also the gates of hell!

I do understand that at shops I know running at what most likely is a fraction of their budget, at least three people would conduct a ritual seppuku after this kind of an incident, with a smile on their faces asking for forgiveness

true

whata nice zotac that was

2 easy for strenx

Do you think they pay Strenx by direct debit ?

ffs yes ofc

So 200€ next sunday?

1st place 100
2nd 50 !
3rd/4th - 25/25

or
1st 100
2nd 75
3rd 25

or 1st 100

dont be selfish now.

1st 200
Guard 0
3rd 0

:)

This.

1st 200, please

a bo5 final worth 200 euros is far more exciting and will induce better play than 25 euros
