I saw the discussion about not having quake at dreamhack anymore due to no profit (low number of viewers, etc,..) In Slovenia Slovenia we just got announced that there is going to happen a LAN which will also have ql Quake Live. There is no prize money announced for quake yet. I was thinking that we can make prize money happen with donations. Quake community could also help them by setting quake and getting some sponsors. Donations should be done to most trusted quaker (memento_mori). However, this is just a suggestion from me.

EPICENTER LAN 2 will take place on the 8th and 9th of February 2013 in Murska Sobota, Slovenia. Over the course of two days, a record breaking 11 different tournaments will take place, including but not limited to Call of Duty: Ghosts, League of Legends, StarCraft 2, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Dota2, ql Quake Live and Street Fighter XIV. As was the case at the previous event, videogame tournaments will not be the only things happening, as we will host numerous promotions and fun tournaments that will make sure that the attendees remember the event, and the sponsors.

The first event was well recieved by the gaming public, as we had over 85 players present, and more than 150 visitors, who rated the event with an average of 4.5/5. The rating presents a high standard, that we will try our best to beat with the second edition of the event.

Visit the events official website at epicenter lan but do not hesitate to contact the organizers at email: samo@spid.si.


Interesting quote by Belgium dem0n:
I was going to post a similar suggestion. If we start donating now, with some emphasis every month helped by the casters (zoot, faceit, etc) we can get to a very relevant prizepool within a year ! I'll be gladly donating aswell as I've been for this dh prizepool. If we get to a decent prizepool before this june we surely can make the dh headadmins think about it. They would not have to put any money in it appart from setting up a place for players to play and squeeze quake in into some dreamarena-like stage for playoffs or even just the finals...

If however the prizepool doesn't convince the dh headadmins, we can always decide to use that money on other events.
