Just announced yesterday, the Cyberathlete Professional League is willing to organize a "major gaming event in in Shenyang, China this coming September 2012" and is seeking opinions from the community on Facebook about the games they will pick.

The last CPL event was held ~~in Dallas back in 2007 with CS:S and CS 1.6 tournaments~~ in

Shenyang in August 2011 and only featured a SC2 tournament. The company was then acquired by WoLong Ventures in 2010 (see the old news).

( Major News: QL)

Posted by nicerdicer @ 05:01 CDT, 18 May 2012 - iMsg

You might have seen this Belgian gamer playing under the "mono" tag. Today it is time to announce it officially: "Dem0n is part of Monomaniac eSports"

Statement by Romain 'dem0n' Leclercq

Statement by COO of Monomaniac eSports Oskar 'ZeD' Noor

"With the growing popularity of MOBA and RTS games primarily Starcraft II and League of Legends, first person shooters haven't been receiving as much attention as they deserve. With that being said we were a bit reluctant to recruit teams from that genre. But we simply received an offer we couldn't turn down..." - Official announce

playQUAKELIVE EU CTF Points Cup #3 (12 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by esdf @ 15:38 CDT, 13 May 2012 - iMsg

With two of the cups behind us, we're approaching a halfway point of the CSN playQUAKELIVE EU Series. We've taken a break this weekend, due to the Mother's Day and all the other uninteresting stuff that's been going on, and we're more then happy to announce that the Points Cup #3 will be kicking off next Sunday, May 20th at the usual time, 08:00 CDT.

To the teams that already competed in our cups, sign yourselves up again to cement your spot for the Grand Finals. To the teams that have not played yet, it's 5 minutes till midnight for you if you plan on competing for some of the cash we want you to take off of our hands.

Even though the last QL update featured an addition of a new map, Camper Crossings, it will not be included in the map pool for the remainder of the qualification cups, but you will be able to vote if you want it in the Grand Finals or not, so stay tuned.

As far as coverage is concerned, nothing new there. If you're in just for the spectating part, make sure your browser is pointed to Level Up TV for some of that

zoot (and his Brittish posse) awesomeness.

Oh yeah, make sure you idle in our IRC channel,

#csn.ql, we need some love.

Postdesk Interviews Sujoy Roy (23 comments)

( Major News: Gaming)

Posted by Demiurge @ 10:40 CDT, 13 May 2012 - iMsg

Our founding father, Director of ESReality, the first UK pro gamer, and eSports entrepreneur of all kinds has done an interview with Postdesk.com. Sujoy talks about his eSports career, business adventures, what he's playing with now, and the future.

How successful were you in professional gaming?

I came 3rd at that New York CPL tournament in the end, and I had a mixture of top 10 places after that in various competitions. If I’m honest I never really did very well at Quake 3. I think I hit my peak in Quake 1 when I was totally devoted to the game. I played a bit of Quake 4 when it came out too, but I don’t think I could have competed with the top guys like Toxic and Cooller who were hitting their stride.

Finally, after almost 2 years since the demo call post, I am proud to present my fourth quakelive movie - PixelBeat. While working on this movie, I kept in mind all the consructive criticism I recieved from my previous works, I have also focused on a couple of things, especially speed and flow.

From 986 demos I recieved, I gave an OKAY to 170 demos. From these, only a handful of 43 demos ended up in the movie. That's 4% of the initial amount. That being said, I expected much more from the community. Still, I did my best to showcase these best frags.

My special thanks go to phl (juvenile delinquency), whom I kept contact with throughout the whole editing period. Without his input and ideas the movie wouldn't be the same.
