Posted by skillah @ 09:57 CDT, 26 July 2010 - iMsg

Since many, mostly new, players are looking for a decent config from pro players to check out how their graphic looks or what bindings they use, I decided to share my personaly config collection, called "skilleys cfg collection", with the lovely community.

There are 103 QL settings from Pro players like

toxjq,

cha0ticz,

rapha,

bodzo. Also a Amateur part with settings from

daxio,

x1t and many many more.

If you think that your cfg is missing, feel free to send it to me skillahde@googlemail.com, it will get a place in the next update!

The collection will get a update every month! Next update after Gamescom!

UPDATE 1: The 1000 download counter is reached, so its time to share

toxjq's mouse settings with you, whos interested in it!

Mouse: WMO 1.1a
Mousepad: Steelseries cloth pad the thick one
DPI: 400
Hz: 500

UPDATE 2: Like i said in my comment, there will be a update...so here we go! :)

skilley's QL cfg collection v2 includes the settings from known players like

kos,

proZaC,

Scoot,

spart1e,

DaHang,

zsx and...

DanDaKing :) + some more.

Also the Amateur part like

iddqd's cfg and so on.

Have fun with it and a big thanks to everyone who sent me his settings to get a bigger update!

strenx: "I don't think I'm 0% brain" (245 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by [F_]bina @ 15:34 CDT, 22 July 2010 - iMsg

Fragster just released an interview with the French player from Fnatic: Kévin "strenx" Baeza. They go across as various subjects as brain, respect, trolls and QuakeCon 2010. Here is the mandatory excerpt:

Fragster: How much brain do you use in comparison with Cooller or rapha?
strenx: You will maybe laugh but I already outbrained Cooller. I remember a situation on dm6, yeah ON DM6. I was up to Mega, because it spawned soon, and he thought I would fall on sg to rush him, so he sticked the wall to wait for me, but I rocket-jumped to bridge going to rl and then I walked and saw him underneath me, so he didn't expect me to be near the rl, so I looked at him for 3 seconds and jumped to him and killed him, so he was totally surprised.

What do you think about other people's opinions? Many people say you are an onliner.
I don't really care, I don't wanna prove if I'm an online hero or lan hero. Comments are comments, you know, they'll always find a way to criticize you etc. But everything is ok, I respect all comments, as long as they are serious, and not only troll. Even if they say I'm an onliner, I hope they are enjoying my game, because I try my best to make good games that are fun to watch.
