Apheleon's away so I gave ole' buddy Sabian "clampOK" Hayblum a call to talk about the NA QuakeLive scene and the upcoming QuakeLive event which seems like the only thing going on in North America this year. The Team EG quaker stops by to talk about his recent entry into the world of dueling and what his expectations are of QuakeCon this year.

Has QuakeLive really been a worth-while competitive game? Is the iD team really making enough significant changes to the game to differentiate it from Quake 3? All these questions and more answered after the break. We also talk about his interested in StarCraft and revisit the Transatlantic Showdown Finals for posterity.

Head on over to Ready Up Radio to download the podcast.

QHLAN 14 (11 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by Åke Vader @ 15:22 CDT, 19 May 2010 - iMsg

Since a few days ago it is possible to sign up for what might become the best QuakeWorld event in this millennia as QHLAN has revealed that it will run its 14th edition during 4th - 7th November.

This time a serious effort is made to get as many QuakeWorld players as possible to this event in Haninge, Stockholm. A joint effort with the Hazard LAN, website and sign ups launched well in advance, a prize purse of 22,500SEK and a moved date will hopefully make this LAN a great success. In addition to this, the usual 1on1, 2on2 and 4on4 tournament will of course take place and some well renowned players and clans have already announced that they will indeed make it there!

I've been wanting to make a trailer of this style for quite a long time and I just happen to have this game installed. So I threw this together in a couple of weeks and just thought I'd share it with you all.

I'll make some more quake content once iD makes good on their promise of implementing q3mme into Quakelive.

Flame away if you must :)

Selections infos

Clanbase CTF NationsCup has ended with the final rankings:

1. France
2. Germany
3. Netherlands
4. Finland

Since the cup went smooth and with a lot of interest from the community, we were thinking about finishing this awesome season with an all-star match. The idea is to present best nations from this season (as you can see above), with their first teams (where it was possible) and to let all of you guys vote for 2 players from each nation. That would give us 8 players to be chosen ones for this match. After that two captains are selected between players ( with admin help if needed) and they pick-up rest of the 6 players from the list. That should give us best of the best from this NC CTF cup.

CTF All-star match is scheduled for 14:00 CDT, 16 May 2010 and voting period is closing 14:00 CDT, 9 May 2010. Coverage will be done by holysh1t.tv as usual. For nominated players see the link below.
