ESWC and IEM drop Quakelive *update* (688 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by xou @ 17:10 CDT, 11 July 2011 - iMsg

The announcement of the games selection for the

ESWC 2011 a few weeks ago and for the

IEM 6th season today on ESL-World both had something sad in common: they don't feature Quake.

In both case there is no explanation given, and another game is more or less taking over the Quake slot: Counter-Strike: Source in ESWC, and Leagues of Legends in IEM.

I tried to contact ESWC to get a statement, but I didn't receive any reply so far. On Carmac's twitter, IEM's manager, it's also hard to see any explanation on this choice.

Quakelive is now left with 3 major LAN organizations: DreamHack, QuakeCon and ASUS.

Update: I finally got a reply from the new Head of Competition of Games Solutions,

Camille Versteeg, mostly known for his work as a CS admin during several tournaments.

derQuaker Interview: strenx (40 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by moppz @ 15:24 CDT, 11 July 2011 - iMsg

Some days after

strenx announced he cannot go to QuakeCon 2011, the German derQuaker team tried to find out the reasons. What are the problems with his clan Fnatic? Why is spartie going to QuakeCon? Why is he still playing online cups?

"If you will have an interview with your new boss, would you like to tell him something about Quake?
I would just say that I’m used to play in a sport competition, and competition is an important thing for work. It’s a good experience, I really don’t waste my time in gaming and I really enjoy this accumulation of knowledge.”

You can read the interview on derQuaker.
