Excello.net looking for Active Admins (3 comments)

( News: Gaming)

Posted by ShadyVoltaire @ 18:13 CST, 20 November 2012 - iMsg

If anyone is not familiar with Excello, they are a fairly oldschool gaming organisation. Think of a a successful 2000s team or player in Quake3/4/Live, SC:BW, FIFA or any other popular eSports title, and rest assured you could be thinking of players winning tournaments under an xlo^ tag.

What many people are unaware of at the moment, is that Excello is also giving back to the roots of the community in the form of a ladder/matchmaking system. Anybody from any game can register on the Execello webiste, and create a tournament with the versatile admin tools.

Not only that, but at the moment, Excello is in a partnership with ZOWIE GEAR to give exciting prizes and increase competition in popular e-sports titles. You might recall this Saturday's ZOWIE Quake Live tournament (which will become a regular series after DreamHack), well this is where you come in: Excello is looking for pro-active and talented individuals for administration purposes.

Posted by Memento_Mori @ 07:11 CST, 19 November 2012 - iMsg

In order to better understand the demand and being able to provide the best settings for the cups, we are going to test a new format for the Quake Live Daily Cups. In a nutshell, we increased the rank-caps to levels 4, 6, 8 and 10, and removed the free-account map pool from the lowest level. More details below.

Details

During this week, we will monitor the participation and gather further feedback. If you have suggestions for the format, or any other related idea, feel free to post.

So, as usual, please leave your thoughts on the groups below! Is there a group of death? Is any group more interesting then another?

Event: #TDMPickup Draft

Scheduled: 11:00 CST, 25 November 2012 to 16:00 CST, 25 November 2012
Schedule: Passed

As we already promised, we are announcing #tdmpickup draft tournament series. This kind of tournament is open to all the players, where you just signup before the tournament start and the teams are created automatically based on players' QLStats rating, so the teams should be equal.

First tournament of the series will take place on Sunday 25th of November. Signups will be open from 11:00 CDT to 12:00 CDT and done via IRC. After the signups, we will announce the teams and playoff tree. The tournament format will be Single Elimination bracket played as BO3. We will also provide Mumble and Teamspeak servers for everyone to use. The only requirement for everyone to add is that you have to have at least 10 matches played on #tdmpickup according QLStats website. If you didn't play 10 matches yet, you still have about 10 days to rank yourself. Just join #tdmpickup, !a and wait for your game to start.

But wait, there's more! During the last 7 days before the tournament, everyone playing at #tdmpickup will be competing for another prize. The person dominating in number of played games during past 7 days will receive 3-month pro membership redeemable token for QuakeLive! You can check current stats in here (please bear in mind that QLStats website is a bit slow). We will check the results exactly on 12:00 CDT and we'll count out quits and forfeits.

Event: DHW'12

Unfortunately we've had a few unexpected drop outs during the last week.

ins,

cl0ck and

reload have dropped out of the tournament, all with different reasons. Making the best out of the situation we quickly contacted a number of players who we hoped could play instead.

With only a week left until DreamHack Winter 2012 there wasn't much time for the players to arrange a trip but

L33gend (aka sofiene),

mousestar and

empish all agreed to come and play. L33gend making his Quake Live LAN debut while mousestar and empish comes back to DreamHack to play again.

But since the line up is complete again it's time to get the seeds public!

Player list

Top Seed
