Once upon a time, before the Millenium, a clan was formed, called the iCE cLIMBERS.

And what a legendary clan it would be…

Founded by Gopher and toxic, later enforced with Reptile, Desp, many other great players and also no other than the almighty Fox!

What you will witness within this post is a tribute to one of the greatest Quake players around: Fox, the last iCE cLIMBER! A fantastic movie made by ZeroQL, great soundtrack, nice video editing and perfect footage pays homage to the Swedish player Fox, not using frags of good old days when Fox played Quake 3, but of the reincarnation that is Quake Live.

Enjoy

ESH Quake Live ONW #5: Amateur Night (41 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Event: ESH QL: AC

Scheduled: 13:00 CDT, 10 June 2010 to 16:00 CDT, 10 June 2010
Schedule: Passed

ESH present Quake Live ONW #5: Amateur Night cup. Since QL Duel scene became stale with few players dominating all the others, ESH decided to let the amateurs get their chance to play without being owned by pros from the beginning.

Admins will have the right to deny the players who they think should not be eligible to play skill-wise, but to give you some clue which players will be allowed and which not, take a look at ZOTAC Hall of Fame. All players that finished in top 3 in any of these cups won't be allowed. Of course some others might not be allowed as well if admins feel they are too strong for this tourney.
Of course needless to say is that fake-nicking won't be allowed and all players that shouldn't be allowed but play under the different nick can be banned from ESH if spotted.

Cup is scheduled for Thursday 13:00 CDT, 10 June 2010, with sign-ups already accepted.

Update: Cup is over with final standings:
