We’re glad to announce additional details regarding our $125 Quake Live FACEIT Sunday Cup.
The Cup will be starting on Sunday 23rd of September at 3PM CEST and you’ll be able to join our platform a day earlier to register to the tournament and secure one of the 128 spots. Check-in will be activated 1 hour before tournament starts. The tournament will be Duel with Single Elimination brackets played on European servers, notwithstanding that non-EU players are welcome to join as well.The final standings of each Sunday Cup will be tracked and the winners invited at the upcoming The GD Studio Quake Live Arena events.
The most exciting actions of every Sunday cup will be exclusively live streamed on FACEIT TV, covered from our studios by Ziggy "nVc" Orzeszek and Xavier "Zoot" Dhorne, while non-English streams will be allowed on a case-by-case basis.
During next week we’ll host on our Facebook page a poll to decide the map pool used during the tournament.
In the meanwhile tell your friends and family of your busy Sunday schedule, keep practicing and enjoy our trailer!
This looks a lot nicer that Zotac. I don't know why, but this feels a lot better already. (Maybe its just me missing QL sunday cups, making any sunday cup better that Zotac.)

as far as wub wub goes it wasn't that dire... the build up was great. although frag messages for the 1st person perspective frags, keel actually doing something instead of standing while taunting... and maybe some good old shoutcaster voice-over segment for an epic frag at the end would have made it beyond perfect
Yeah, he is so focused on those rockets. Really nice shots. Pulling those off ain't that hard - pulling them off with 20 seconds on the timer on the other hand is incredible.
This is god damn quake intensity that all other games lack.
zoot is a caster with an annoying laugh, an annoying nasally voice, and a poor understanding of the game. his play-by-play sucks and so does his analysis.
His play-by-play is pretty decent, and that's what matters. He's a main commentator, and nVc is a color commentator, so they'll make a good pair. Much like Dis and vor.
sorry, my commentary would be so orgasmic, the hundreds of quakers who tune in would all simultaneously orgasm to such a degree that their bodily fluids would purge from all organs resulting in an unintended mass massacre
no just saying watching pavel win with 90 ping doesnt necessary mean its impressive to look at. its like watching rapha sitting on a solid after half a game
tox, stermy, noctis and spartie could win some aswell if they actually practised a little to get back in shape. Hope zsx sign up for a few and killsen can also beat anyone. Baksteen can also win vs anyone if he have a good day.
tox, stermy, noctis, spartie are all inactive. dont see zsx or baksteen beating top players in bo5. forgot k1llsen, but hes solo against russian mob :l
While I do not condone of his previous cheating actions, he sure has a strong will and love for this game for putting so much effort into a community which basically hates you.
i dont expect more then 30-40 tbh. face it, last zotac hype is lost, too much time was wasted, people already lost sunday quake habit and filled their time with something else/
The less people with such negative, the better it is.
People need to realize that each player counts.
Even if he doesn't participate to win, it's about having a decent tournament with 120+ players.
And something that lesser skilled players keep forgetting:
The more of us, the better, more chance to encounter similar skilled opponents on tournaments.
The guys behind FACEIT seem great, I've not had an opportunity to commentate a QuakeLive event in a long time and it's nice to have been invited onto their first show!
I'm hoping for blood run, lost world, furious heights, hektik and +1... with the +1 being a return of Campgrounds or something new! But since it'll be a public Facebook Poll no doubt you'll all troll me and vote everything but those 4/5!
a map pool id like to see with pick pick: ztn dm13 t7 dm6 t4 aero tox hektik (and maybe that new map silence if its any good) at least until 1/8 finals, from there can be standard tournment map pool with drop/drop...
also pro accounts could do a favor and spawning servers for the tournament even if its just faceit#1#2#3... etc and password given out on request for standards on first come first served basis. (or maybe id could just do a free-premium day every week on sunday... but theyre too stupid obviously =))
