Quakeworld: Thunderdome (22 comments)
Posted by !phil @ 10:40 CST, 21 February 2012 - iMsg
Russia VVD has announced Thunderdome, a unique tournament for quakeworld, and I'm helping him host it, along with Sweden Adde, Russia Darkstorm and Ireland pleuraXeraphim!

The main difference from Duelmania, Ownage and Showdown is a multiple division system with double elimination brackets. The intent is to allow all players of all skills to have a chance to win, rather than be brutally stomped on by higher skill players. It also affords the higher skill players a true challenge in every single game, and a real spectacle from the first round to the finals.

There will be divisions ranging from "div 0" to "true rookie" and the final number of divisions will depend on the total signups. Registration is open until February 25th, 23:59 CET. Running around in clan arena is one thing; playing an official duel with your adrenaline blasting is another! Go sign up.

rapha: 2011, the big 4 and ZeRo4 (146 comments)
Posted by Thorin @ 09:28 CST, 20 February 2012 - iMsg
United States of America Shane "rapha'" Hendrixson, of SK Gaming, spoke in an extensive text interview about 2011, the big four of QL (himself, Russia Cooller, Belarus cypher and Poland av3k) and United States of America ZeRo4's influence on his development as a player.

On balancing aiming and thinking during engagements:
I know for myself that some games I've played, based just on the way I feel that day I've favored one over the other. Almost always the strategy portion in my case. I've noticed the same in cypher, for example, where some games/days he is just so on he focuses on the aiming and damage output portion of his game. Other days he doesn't feel so comfortable aiming so he switches to focusing on strategy and making less mistakes.
The entire interview can be read at SK Gaming.
