proZaC in-depth: career of a TDM p1mp (76 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by Thorin @ 19:55 CDT, 11 July 2010 - iMsg

Over at SK Gaming the self-proclaimed p1mp of TDM

Cyrus "proZaC" Malekani talked at length about his entire career as a Quake 3 star. He won Lan Arena 7 with QPO, EuroCup V with p1mps and placed in the top 3 of the EuroCup four times in total.

Did he duel much with

Blue and

LakermaN in All*? How does the Swede compare

czm to himself at TDM? How did p1mps come to crush iCE cLIMBERS 4:0 in a best of seven series in the EuroCup V final? What was it like to play along with

Mikes and

Cooller in TDM?

Talking about

fox as a TDM player in ic:

Well they had a good dynamic, like fox can be the sneaky camper style player and toxic can be the rambo rampage go crazy guy. But I mean fox could also be crazy FFA style if he wanted to, but you know... he's fox, he's always gonna play solid no matter what :) He is truly a great player and I respect his skill and as a friend.

proZaC also breaks down his strategies for playing q3dm7, q3dm14 and ospdm5 both individually and as part of an elite team.

The interview can be read at SK Gaming.

Posted by nineX @ 02:41 CDT, 10 July 2010 - iMsg

Aph is back from Europe and we're talking about all the insane news swirling around deathmatch right now including Rapha winning ESWC and Devastation 2010, id banning Slasher and others from QuakeLive, and the announcement of ESL America and it's accompanying LAN events. Very exciting stuff; I can't wait to see what Midway and staff have in store for the North American gaming community.

On a side note, the GTR Mod of Quake 4 announced that it will be shutting down until they find a new developer to help with the project; head over to the GTR site to find out more information. We also get news in the middle of the show that StarCraft 2 beta is opened back up. Gotta go.

QuakeLive Server Crashing Rebellion (35 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by jamalz @ 22:32 CDT, 9 July 2010 - iMsg

A guy named "acrashmaster" has started up a rebellion in quakelive. He and his team of merry fellows have learned of an exploit that crashes servers and is now threatening id software that they will take down servers repeatedly until their demands are met.

"The rebellion will not stop until we have received what we were promised a year ago. We want NEW MAPS, GTV, CLAN SUPPORT FEATURES, PRIVATE SERVERS, AND ALL OF THE STUFF THAT MADE QUAKE3 A GREAT GAME. We will make hundreds of accounts per day and we will destroy your all of your servers until we have received our demands.

THERE IS NO FIX FOR INJUSTICE. THE REBELLION CONTINUES TO GROW. YOU BELONG IN THE REBELLION."

So.. do you belong to the rebellion as well? Or are these miscreants doing more harm than good.

Also, can syncerror and his team even fix this exploit? They code at a snails pace and this shit just got hilarious. I'm betting they won't be able to do jackshit.
