The American Quake2 scene might not be the biggest one, but now there are two upcoming leagues just around the corner. One is starting in just one week and will spark some life into the Q2 duelling, which should be nice to see in the wake of
DaHanG's performance in Q2 at QuakeCon 2007. The other league aims to kick some life into the North American 4v4 scene once again, hopefully with some help from the foreigners!

This is the first 1v1 league in the North American DM scene for quite some time, and should prove to be a really interesting league as we have several top American players signed up. The layout is pretty straight forward; an initial round robin stage where all players are put into 4 groups and the top 4 placed at the end of the groupplay round will progress to the double elimination playoffs. First round starts already August 20th, and each round will last one week.

This is the only 4v4 DM league ran in North America the previous years, and we're currently in the planning stage of the 4th season.
Previous season proved to be a success, with also teams from Europe having a great showing despite the ping disadvantage.
This fall we again aim for at least 8 teams signing up for the league, but it is common knowledge that the Q2TDM scene in North America isn't what it once was and we're in deep need of new teams or teams from the outside world to make this happen. The current level of teamplay shouldn't put anyone off, so newer players with a willingness to (re)learn the game should consider this a great way of getting to play some Quake 2! Only thing we want is some sort of feedback if you actually plan on participating so we're not working on something that will not happen, we really need some solid proof there is enough intererest. This far we've only got 4 teams, so there is plenty room for European clans or newly formed teams to participate in the event.

How to download and set up Q2 + anticheat :: 
Dimmo wrote an excellent
guide on how to download and set-up Q2 with anticehat. This should make it possible for anyone to play Q2 with only the demo + latest patch, with the newest anticheat made by
R1CH.
Hope this will keep Q2 going strong as we close in on its 10 years anniversary!
