In order to get the new versions working without a flaw, it's recommenced to uninstall the previous versions of these scripts. The demo player itself is an add-on and also requires to get the last version uninstalled.

GGL North America Ladders (37 comments)
( Major News: ESR)
Posted by xterm @ 17:45 CST, 1 November 2009 - iMsg
The GGL is proud to announce the launching of 4 new ladders, all sanctioned by the Association of Gaming Professionals.
The ladders are in Duel, CTF, Clan Arena, and Team Deathmatch. Please register and join the Quake Live competition!

Duel

TDM

CTF

Clan Arena

AGP Ranking points will be awarded at the end of each month for the regional and international rankings. The ladders will be reset at month's end to restart and continue

Below are the monthly point distribution for each:

1st-8th - 5 points
9th-16th - 3 points
17th-32nd - 1 point

Go to the official AGP site for further details. Note that as everything is working together in the AGP Rankings, the ladders will help lower skilled players more in rankings than higher skilled but that is their point. The higher skilled should utilize these extra points for better seedings in tournaments but they are not a must. Team modes are currently being worked to establish international and regional rankings as well. This will take more time and cooperation. Stay tuned to AGPTour.com for team mode ranking announcements soon.

burnedd joins Serious Gaming (59 comments)
( Major News: QL)
Posted by Nukm @ 10:32 CST, 1 November 2009 - iMsg
The 15 years old youngster Belgium Adrien "burnedd" Denis joins Serious Gaming. After a trial period of some month, Serious Manager Bas Peeperkorn has grown a lot of confidence into the young belgian Player, saying that the addition of burnedd "is in full harmony with the teams philosophy of converting young talented players into tournament winners".


Bas Peeperkorn (Manager Serious):
The addition of Adrien to our QuakeLive team is in full harmony with the teams philosophy of converting young talented players into tournament winners. With our top Quake players Maciej 'Av3k' Krzykowski and Alexey 'Cypher' Yanusheuski as his new team mates, Adrien will have a great opportunity to develop himself into the champion of the future. Not being judged upon his results but rather on how he plays and the fact we rarely add new players to our team, shows the confidence we have in Adrien.
Adrien "burnedd" Denis:
I'm really happy to join a team like Serious.Razer, who are very known in the Quake community thanks to the previous successes of both Av3k and Cypher. I hope I will be capable of doing some great things among them. I would like to thank Bob 'supreme' Janssen and Bas for all their help so far.

So far burnedd has yet to prove himself on LAN, but has shown his talent in several online cups.
