i cannot forward in the web-based player. is that on purpose? *no, i did not want to download it - just out of curiosity.

You have to wait for it to download before you can skip through it.

good episode, guys.

Offtopic, but can anyone link me to the last LO3 with Carmac? Can't find on ESR news, but I'm quite sure it was there few days ago.

I dont think Wheat has posted it in his archive yet.

Nope, I've myself had link to VOD, but didn't feel like watching it at the time.

Thanks :)

wheat is bashing ql...dont understand why.

Oh, and btw:

Arqon, dead?

i hope so.

Yes, what was that about? RIP arQon?

He probably got married. I hear thats close to the same thing.

jesus wasnt white

Says otherwise

RIP arQon?
An official CPMA update with free QL gameplay and CPMA netcoding?
You can't just mention shit like that and not give any details afterwards!

Otherwise, nice cast.

Ya wtf...someone find out about arq!

GG ARQON

cypher played in the tdm tourney with ffa btw :p

whooooops. jebus here i was thinking no one even listened to these. guess ill actually have to back my shit up now :).

The point is still correct.
Rapha practiced for TDM , but also played duel.
cypher practiced for duel, but also played TDM.

Hopefully id will take these losses as a wake-up call. What they're doing is not working. It's like they design the game (or, at least, the system), based on their fantasy scenarios, rather than the reality on the ground. There are plenty of good ideas around here... all they need to do is cherry-pick them, and begin implementing the cheapest or most cost-effective one's.

With such a rapidly growing esports market, and QL being such a great esports game, the problem must be the lack of any real esports support. They need to treat the game as an esport, not just as a video-game.

I think the case is that ID tried to modify the best eSport game to causal friendly game (which btw wasn't easy mission). LoL's developers just created casual game and someone took it to competitive world. Success is based on the fact that this world was showed to those causal players.

Anyway it looks like there is no chance to create game that is causal friendly and great esport game as well. Causal game must be as much random as acceptable and esport game must be skill based with an small addition of randomness.

competitive LoL was one of Riot's goals since the start of development.

So why it doesn't even have proper spectator functionality? Afaik streamers use some bug or just a trick to take part in the game as spectator.

As always, nothing new in the cast, just repeating\reporting the stuff that every esr visitor knows. Many of the things you lack info on, even I know.

I don't know why I listen to this, I'd blame internet addiction, anyway even the things you say aren't always correct, lmao @ your colwn knowledge.

Not to hate, you're native speakers and so the cast could be good.. But the only good ones were the ones that had people for interviews. Please bring more of that, or at the very least more insider info, some things the entirety of ESR doesn't know.

Oh, and two programmers isn't nothing. It's like at least 160k/year. Doubt quakelive generated that.. Don't understand why you think that they're going to do anything after rage is finished or something, it seems like they might just leave the game to die. I'd agree that a few specific things would benefit them, and that the game cannot become successful without unifying it again, but I'm unsure id understands how ladders and some other things could improve the popularity and even if they do, will they bother.

good cast as always.

maybe straighten the podcasts a little up. world is getting fast and faster. 1 hour is to long for me, prefer 30 minutes max. btw LO3 episodes are to long too, but they cant straighten it up because they like to hear and see themself haha.

"let quakelive die" - makes me angry, esport is only a little side of ql. as long as its their with all the flaws i will play it, because i have fun playin it. sure i like to see big duel/tdm tourneys but my priority is playing.

its surprising how hard it is to stop once u start talking. and i guess part of the problem is that we dont do this regularly enough to keep it shorter.

o wells. will have to figure out where we are taking rur in general, with the podcasts and streaming, in the near future. hopefully that will settle things down and we can work on doing things better.
