We are happy to announce our first Quakelive Duel Cup hosted by spontangames.de community site. There has been alot of interest in this cup, that's why we decided to expand the player limit to 32 players. The final cup date is planned to be on 15th Feb, this Sunday. Around 10:00 CDT all players should gather in the #spontan.ql channel on IRC Quakenet and get ready to rumble!


Head over to #spontan.ql and ask yuka or chako for more information about the cup.

Or more specifically a sound engineer and texture artists. If you have the skills or you know someone who has please contact us (easiest to message me on here or ix-ir on Quakenet).

PMX is the next iteration of Promode gameplay development combined with a standalone asset-base and a new setting, we're aiming to create FPS gameplay that pushes new ideas successfully while still being suitable for highly competitive games. The industry appears to have forgotten how to do this. We're also developing it to be an easily modifiable base of assets and code design that's suitable for mods, new modes and fun ideas.

Apply now. =)

The semi finals are now over! The final and the match for the 3rd rank will be as following (schedule will be added ASAP):

Final: kgb & walter versus bLt & griffin
Bronze final: plague & whaz versus cha0ticz & hoens

All matches are broadcasted on GTV and some may get a shoutcasting coverage, it will be known at game time. Again, the MVDs will be available shortly after the matches on quakescene.com.

An in depth discussion on Starcraft 2 was held at a local coffee shop by the resident gosu’s here in Korea, Artosis, Tasteless, and NonY.

The actual video is 25 minutes long and covers many different things that people have been talking about, are worried about, and think might happen when the game is released.

eSports is also another major thing covered in the video as all three of them are in the middle of eSports here in Korea, so this will be the first time people actually get a more hands on advice from a non-Korean on what the potentially Starcraft 2 eSports scene will look like.


Artosis is a 6 time WCG USA finalist and 2 time grand finalist, he currently lives in Korea and commentates Starcraft, you can see his work at SCForAll.com.

Tasteless is a past WCG USA finalist and currently lives in Korea commentating on Starcraft, you can see his work at GomTV.net.

NonY is a past WCG finalist and the 2008 WCG USA champion, he currently lives in Korea as only 1 of 2 foreigners on a professional Starcraft team.

Yesterday the new site stats.quakeworld.nu went live after being in the development stage for quite some time. The site is developed by Pleuraxeraphim and Johnny_cz and keeps track of all the games you play on the Quakeworld servers in the world. A feature list can be found on the website itself:

(1) QW Match Results for 1on1, 2on2, 4on4 and FFA Matches played on KTX servers
(2) Weekly Stats: Provides a day by day breakdown of figures for each game Mode.
(3) Map Statistics with breakdown of matches played on a map per Game Mode (1on1, FFA etc)
(4) Weekly Leaderboard rankings of players for each Game Mode.
(5) Awards section for Top 3 ranked Leaderboard players each week in each Game Mode.
(6) Player Database: Complete list of all players that have played on KTX/FFA Servers.
(7) Player Comparison: Load up all matches played between a pair of players.
(8) Player Profile: View all matches and statistics for any individual player.
(9) Server Lists: List of KTX Servers and FFA Servers scanned.

The site can thus be used to keep track of your own games, scout players/teams, compete for weekly awards, see general statistics on activity on Quakeworld servers and much, much more.

The Czech movie maker th0ca from Han-sai production comes back from inactivity and presents his brand new movie:

I'm back! :P After a very long time I would like to present you my latest creation called simply: "jt movie". It's a single DeFRaG movie, as most movies of my production, starring a skilled Czech VQ3 player JanTar. I don't think that it is necessary to introduce him any further.

Now something about the movie itself, there are 3 movie versopns to choose from:
1) FSQ - Fantastic Supreme Quality: 720p, 10125kbps, 390MB: This is eyecandy version with pretty grain in picture.
2) VHQ - Voluminous High Quality: 720p, 7200kbps, 275MB: Ideal standard for today's necessity.
3) SMQ - Satisfactory Medium Quality: 720p, 4950kbps, 190MB: The lower one is for those of you who can't get a proper computer.

Music is Drum and Bass. To sum up the movie I would say: Action, Speed, Action, Speed and no unnecessary effects! The big thanks goes to JanTar who have helped him to get back into active movie making.

First week of CPM TDM Nationscup is going to the end. Here are the matches of a second week:


ALL GAMES MUST BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED TO DEATH OR BLZE BEFORE TUESDAY THE 10/2 OR TEAMS WILL BE PUNISHED

As you might already know there's spreadsheet with all the tournament information.
Also blze made up 'site' for our tournament, which can be found here

As revealed on scforall.com, over 200 gamers from 10 countries will attend an ESWC Masters held in Cheonan City between the 2nd and 5th of May.

The South Korean players will have to get through a qualification tournament to participate in this Masters while all the others will get invitations. The invitations announcement should be released during April.

Starcraft, Warcraft 3, Counter-Strike 1.6 and two unannounced Korean titles will be the themes of the tournaments, making it the first of many times you will see Starcraft, the greatest PC game ever, at an ESWC event.

Aside from the competitions, a festival will include an IT exhibition, international digital conferences and more.

The german esport site Fragster.de had the chance to talk to the AGP Tour CEO, Jarod 'Streetrunner' Reisin. The short interview mostly covers the closed beta AGP Tour site www.agptour.com, but also reveals other interesting information:

Jarod: Details on the upcoming tour I can give are small. I can tell you one thing: We plan on using Quake Live only.

Full Interview ( Version)

Now that the CPM TDM Nationscup has finally started, I took some time to ask each captain their thoughts about the tournament and how they expect to perform. Here is a teaser with Daniel "voodoochopstiks" Platt, the Swedish captain:

Underdog of your team?
Probably me because I am not that good a coach and I don't have a very strong idea about what TDM is about. I couldn't name a player, we have a consistently strong squad to field I think, as long as everyone stays happy and in good spirits.

Enjoy!
