During the summer QW has a habit of beeing a game of idling and activity probably gets smaller than in most similar games. In august and september most of the scene suddenly wakes up again and we can enjoy one of the biggest TDM scenes in Quake. At the moment I believe the amount of active players and clans is quite similar considering QW and QL.

And now to the actual news, EQL has announced that the signups will start 22nd of August. While the they will close the 11th of September. The season starts asap after the divisions are done at that point, so max a day or two after the signups closes! Mappool is still discussed and will be announced before the signups open, but similar so earlier season we will have TB3 (including, E1M2, DM2, DM3) and most probably two "kenya maps" (QW slang word which means: maps that are not made by ID).

There will also be later some announcement about big events during the fall and winter that will probably blow your mind away. But until everything is clear about them we will keep you waiting ;)
