10 Quake finals that could have been (84 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by Thorin @ 18:44 CST, 11 January 2014 - iMsg

This is a historical article speculating on the potential for 10 great Quake duel finals that might have been, but ultimately weren't. Despite all the great match-ups we've seen in the series' history, here's a few where a quick rewind and a different finish to a semi-final could have made things interesting in an entirely different way.

The 10 Great Finals that Could have Been

Dieudonné (319 comments)

( Article: ESR)

Posted by dem0n @ 14:20 CST, 9 January 2014 - iMsg

Today, the french government won (or did they shoot themselves in the foot ?) a big battle against french humorist Dieudonné. For the first time ever in the country of human rights, a humoristic show for which 5,600 people have bought their tickets has been cancelled together with a force of 20 anti-riot vehicles.

This is a thread about freedom of speech and censorship.

Some articles that will surely help those who have no idea what the whole Dieudonné fuss is about:

SpawnKILL - King of POP (1 comment)

( News: ESR)

Posted by spekyr @ 22:52 CST, 7 January 2014 - iMsg

SpawnKill ODC #5: King of Pop will be played this Sunday and it's the last competition of the season... which means highest points after this tournament will win the prize from mwave.com.au!

Map Pool:

Blood Run
Aerowalk
Furious Heights

After winegum received a bonus 40pt for competing four weeks in a row, he's leading the leader board on 60 pts, followed by Camma on 40. Camma will need to win this week to claim the prize... however, we've decided to add a twist this week to make things interesting!

For the King of Pop we will reward every pummy with points toward the leaderboard to break up any possible deadlock on leaderboard while also giving a chance (however slight!) to other competitors to take away the prize.

Pummy lower seed: 1pt
Pummy higher seed: 2pt

Hit the SpawnKill Facebook and watch all the coverage on diabz live! (signups will open on the day)

Last cup of the season before we start planning to run an NA competition to see how it goes, It will continue regardless in Aus after this, just the rules and map pool system may be subject to change.

QuakeSM: a pretty big announcement! (60 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by Minimia @ 14:14 CST, 7 January 2014 - iMsg

When the Swedish Championship of Quake Live was first announced, players and fans alike inquired about the possibility to host a LAN and we have come up with a solution.

Basically it is a half-LAN, half-online tournament, which means the finals can be played either in the Stockholm Esport Arena or from home, just like the deal was from the beginning.

Non players are welcome (there's no entrance fee) and can attend the event, meet the players and chat with

Zoot who will fly in for the event.

Stockholm Esport Arena info

Update: Some people have been asking when the LAN event takes place, and it's on January 25th. That is the finals day, when there is only 8 players left in the tournament.
