Silent Gamers Duel Cup #3 Finished! (4 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by shun @ 13:56 CDT, 16 May 2010 - iMsg

The 3rd Silent Gamers Vroomfoods Cup is over,

Rapha ultimately takes SG Cup #1 revenge over

Dahang across 3 straight maps, and walks away with the $250 first prize.

Congratulations then to

Rapha for taking his first Silent Gamers crown!

[ checkout the exclusive mid tourney interview with Rapha here ]

Dahang drives back to college today having pocketed the none too shabby consolation $100 runner up prize, gas money and chips perhaps?

Flysher storms the evening taking not only the third prize of $50, but a map off

Dahang in a night that saw him dominate the Losers bracket at the expense of

tehnewbz, and ultimately make

Dahang work to reach the final, one to watch. Well Done

Flysher, hope to see you next time.

All in all a crazy evening packing two days of play into one stacked night of chaos, fantastic games, comedy casting, and a $400 prize pot.

G1Player set an early precedent for a wacky evening with not one, but two back to back comedy rage quits, then composing himself [apparently against all odds]
to progress through 3 more rounds in the losers bracket, including an epic quad overtime.

Dahang successfully implements the unorthodox "stairway move" on t9, a sublime

Rapha rains the nades and

dCoy shows

tehnewbz MH pummel defence on ZTN.
T4 once again proving it's worthwhile return to the map cycle at the expense of dm6 with a whole bunch of really really tight games and some insane railing.

Finally a special mention to

tehnewbz, for an uncompromising approach to the night, some great aggressive play, and ultimately a fine display of sportsmanship following “that timeout”.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible to compress the whole tournament into one evening, and a solid 9 hours straight casting, just a phenomenal achievement from everyone involved.

Final Standing

The videos will hopefully be uploaded soon for everyone to download, so check back with the site often. Silentgamers.org would like to thank everyone for participating, theplayers, the staff, and ql.tv for all their help. Stay tuned for more information on the next SG Cup, and more events from SG including our Friday Night FFA's

Dan to attend QCON as daking for AUS/NZ? (17 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by M05 @ 05:04 CDT, 16 May 2010 - iMsg

Event: AOD

Daniel "dandaking" De sousa has taken out the May 16th ArchaicMSI Qualifier in true champion style, flawlessly. This was Dan's first competition for Quake Live and unfortunately due to the nature of 'qualifying' he was unable to participate against his rival Oceanic competition Zealor, Ventz or Zenaku. Dan will accompany Australia and New Zealands best in the ArchaicMSI Draft Tournament for a chance to win a trip to Quakecon 2010 in August.

Dan had this to say when asked who he thinks will claim next weeks Qualifier spot

1st.

Daniel "dandaking" De sousa

2nd.

Nick "nomey" Burfield
3rd/4th.

John Winston "Pathe" Hoddinott /

Guy "HANZ" Hampton

Big thanks to Wookie and Reloaded LAN who have donated prizes towards the ArchaicMSI Draft runner up and ArchaicMSI Draft third place finalists, as well as our next divisional duel comp and a bit of cash towards our next overseas trip.

Quake Live GTV - real or not ? (22 comments)

( News: QL)

Posted by PerpetualWar @ 17:59 CDT, 15 May 2010 - iMsg

Few days ago guy called G4hns released some interesting information over #quakelive irc channel, about working on some kind of GTV for Quake Live.
As interesting as it sounds, G4hns didn`t want to go into details about how QL GTV actually works, only said it works on completely new code and it`s not modified GTV from Q3.
Also 2 video teasers were released as well, that might support the idea of GTV in Quake Live.

Video 1

Video 2

Of course it`s supposedly all in the early alpha stage, but these videos might (or may not) prove that some kind of work is in progress as you are reading this.
If this is reality or not, or how close we might be to actually hoping for QL GTV is unknown at this point. But more news concerning this project are surely awaiting to be released.

So, fake or real - possible or not ?

ESWC 2010 Finals: 3 more invitations (103 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by xou @ 19:32 CDT, 14 May 2010 - iMsg

Event: ESWC'10

The Organizing Committee for the ESWC 2010 Finals decided to grant exceptional autoberths for players and teams left without a qualifier in their countries. This should compensate for the lack of partners in some countries during the resconstruction of the qualifying circuits. For now, the Quakelive tournament is set for 16 players including 3 exceptional autoberths. This leaves 3 slots for the following players who recently attended LAN events (list isn't exhaustive): DaHanG, noctis, stermy, Jibo, chance, Griffin, Vo0, k1llsen, calipt, draven or spammah.

The deadline to send the applications is fixed to the 28th of May. The players will be selected according to their "achievements, motivation and capacity to attend" the event. The list of selected ones will be announced on May 31th.

"Invited participants will only have to pay their travel to Paris. ESWC will provide complimentary accommodation (bed and breakfast) from June 30th (arrival) to July 5th (departure). All invited players and teams will have to set their journey and secure their travel before June 10th."

QuakeLive TV turns 1! (26 comments)

( Major News: ESR)

Posted by QuakeLiveTV @ 14:52 CDT, 13 May 2010 - iMsg

On May 13th, 2009, QuakeLive TV was born. Today, we stand with half a million unique hits and almost 4 million page views under our belt - and boy, has it been one hell of a ride!

From King of the Hill to QuakeCon, we've enjoyed every aspect of QuakeLive coverage.

Tonight, in a special edition of the QuadCast @ 10:30 EDT, the QLTV staff will get on the mic and talk about the 1st year: ups, downs, and everything in between!

Click here for the highlights of QuakeLive TV's first year

Obligatory excerpt:

We had attended QuakeCon 2008 to broadcast ET:QW matches and had witnessed the QuakeLive hype first hand. We knew that ET:QW was on its last legs and were keen to find our next eSports passion, so starting QLTV was really a no-brainer.
