Your manager should be very happy, that two players of ESC Gaming are playing at the Dreamhack. Is this the first big offlineevent for you?You can read the whole interview on derQuaker.com! There is also a German version available.
reload: Surely he will be happy about it, but you have to negotiate with sponsors if you need money for traveling and the hotel. The Dreamhack is not my first offlineevent, 2 years ago I took part at a warsow-tournament in Paris, which I won :) during my Quakelive career I only took part on german offline events, but because of that, the Dreamhack will be exiting and I always wanted to visit the Dreamhack.

The apparent source says that Zenimax and Bethesda made the decision based on the "the issues and reviews" surrounding RAGE's launch, which in their eyes has demonstrated "a serious lack of confidence in the project management at id".
2K has been around since a very long time. Although they have not been in the spotlight a lot, they have played just below the top in ql for most of the time. They are a regular to the CB Premier League and currently a contender for the first place in the second division of the HoQ TDM League. This is their first EuroCup though and it will be a tough one for them with the playoffs almost out of reach. Their home map is Yellack's very own Purgatory.Yellack

4Kings is a team that does not really need an introduction. They have been a top contender in every QL competition they entered. While the loss of zik and v3rb certainly limited their options a bit and their DHS performance was a bit dissapointing but they got a solid lineup again anyway and still won the last EuroCup without them and are on their way to claim the first HoQ TDM title (without dropping a map) aswell. Everything but the first place in the Group would be a surprise. Their home maps seem to be the two classics Grim Dungeon and Deep Inside.anak1n

The Brits played in the CB Premier League last season but were quite active since. They have constantly improved over time and are in form for the upcoming season, qualifying for the EC by beating 4D 2:0. They just tied 1:1 against xt and against Proct in the HoQ TDM League so it should be an interesting fight for the playoffs in their first EuroCup appearance. Their home map is Purgatory.GaRpY

The Swedes from Onfire are a relative new team. The only real benchmark for their strength is the running HoQ TDM season where they are fighting with 2K for the first place in Division 2. They qualified for the EC with a very close 2:1 victory against their fellow countrymen from play. It is rather unlikely that they will reach the Playoffs. Their Home map seems to be Deep Inside (?).kurv3n

Proct are quite a new team aswell. They struggle a bit in HoQ Division 1 but at the same time they tied against ek there and got a direct invite to the EC, so they should not be underestimated. It seems R1EPA left them and anaHimself_ joined instead, it will be intersting to see if this has any notable influence on their performance. Their home map is Deep inside.appleseed

xt is the second big name in Group A. They have been part of every major QL TDM competition but recently the Fins lost their arguably strongest player PURRI. They are still a top team and will most likely qualify for the Playoffs in the second place, but they have to perform well cause they are certainly beatable by teams that you would rate below them at first glance (tied matches against aCt and ek in HoQ). The new map pick system should help them cause they usually dominate on Dreadful Place.Damiah

D9's past results have been rather unimpressive (0/8 in Maps in the last EC). They compete with the best and they usually lose. Not by a huge margin, but chanceless all the same. Now on the one hand, the level of competition especially in Group B is rather low for an EC, so this could be their chance to break their curse, but on the other hand I have not seen them play a lot lately and their performance for Spain in the current EC was not very impressive either. Their home map seems to be Deep Inside.Alpert

We have seen aCt playing in a lot of QL TDM competitions so far but we have not seen a lot from them with their current lineup. React and ZLC joined them and they are bringing new energy to the team. ZLC and nightops are playing very well for Denmark in the current esl country championship and they will help out their swedish mates a lot. Group B is a bit tougher to predict, but I expect aCt to make it into the playoffs for sure and they might just end up in the first place and directly get into the WB Semi Finals. Their home map is Purgatory.bl4jnd

en3my had a good run in the last EC, they beat xt and bface and just missed out on the playoffs because they were tied with doctor and had a no show against them. Afterwards the team went rather inactive and they have not played any TDM together during the last month. If they can get enough players active again they certainly have a chance against everyone in their group but they might aswell lose one match unprepared and drop out.BuRns

iP is very active atm, they play in HoQ, as Team Russia in the esl country championship and individually as well. They have not beaten any top opponent recently but at the same time they have shown that they deserve to play in the highest competition. They have a good chance to reach the playoffs but I dont expect anything extraordinary from them. Their home map is Hidden Fortress.421

First of all, shame on them for dropping out of the last EuroCup, I hope things will go better this time. In the past excelsior had really great teamplay and beat some respectable opponents. But I dont expect abso to actually play this season and the others have not been practicing together aswell it seems (well part of them as Team Hungary), so my expectation are rather low. All the players are very seasoned though and should be in good enough shape to take a game from basically all the other teams in Group B in no time.abso

Mamuts QL team is fairly new and qualified for the EC by beating IP #2. The big question will be if Juven1le will actually play for them. The team is decent enough so that he could really pull them into the playoffs but without him, I dont see it happening. Their skill is hard to judge in any way and I am curious to see how this newcomer does on the big stage. Their home map is Purgatory.doz3r

wonder why @quakelive removed tonight's tweet about suffering a DDoS attack.

lets have a look at the cb open cup to see why i want this. you have two season a years, meaning that a some clans might only play 2 matches (1+ team dropping per group is the norm it seems) in 6 month. i dont wanna bash cb here, but as a player, this sucks.- stricter scheduling
i would like to see groups with 5 teams (2 groups per division), meaning more games for everyone. now that would be 4 groupstage matches = 4 weeks + playoffs (two teams advance) = 2 weeks. with some pauses in between we could easily have 4 seasons per year.
i have two versions in mind here.- pick > drop
the first one would be to have a fixed match date, every single match would be played on this date.
cons: will make it impossible for a few teams to participate
pros: everyone else will have an easier time with just one and a half hour per week that they have to keep free for tdm.
the second one would be to have a default date like we have now, but to allow teams to play all of their matches anytime before it aswell. (meaning that you could play 3 matches on one weekend if you can schedule it with your opponents like this.) but no rescheduling, you dont show up, you get a def loss. you dont show up a second time, you get banned for the next seaon (would also help with a lot of teams that stop playing after playoffs are out of reach)
why did we even start with this?
teams should be able to have a home map and teams should not be able to dodge 2 maps for the whole season. as simple as that imho
cypher -vs- rapha
"We are at least tossing around the possibilities of going back to the bizarre, mixed up Cthulhu-ish Quake 1 world and rebooting that direction."
"I looked at the original Quake as this random thing, because we really didn't have our act together very well.
"But because it was so seminal about the 3D world and the internet gaming, it's imprinted on so many people. It made such an impact in so many ways. Memory cuts us a lot of slack."
"Adding his thoughts into the mix, id CEO Todd Hollenshead said: "People shouldn't worry that we're ever going to orphan or abandon Quake. We are huge fans of the game internally."

This is the first big TDM LAN in QuakeLive and the attendance looks to be good, do you think this is the start of TDM becoming a bigger deal again?You might also want to check out
slayzah: I would really love that TDM started to become bigger again actually. If we (DreamHack) takes the first step to add a tourney with it, I hope more will follow.
snelvovve: I would sure hope so! So I will do my best to make this TDM experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Dear Mr. Lucas. Please take note.... ehem..
REAL FUCKING SETS!!!!
Thank you for your time.

What does the new law do?
It prevents any woman wearing full-face veils in public.
Is it directed as Muslims?
The text makes no mention of Islam, but President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government promoted the law as a means to "protect" women from being forced to wear Muslim full-face veils such as the burka or the niqab.
Is it democratic?
The bill was passed by the French Parliament last year, with the Senate voting by 246 votes to one in favour.
Who will it affect?
Fewer than 2,000 French women are believed to actually wear a full face veil.
What is the punishment?
A fine of 150 euros (£133) and/or a course of citizenship lessons. A man who forces a woman to go veiled will be fined 30,000 euros (£25,000) and serve a jail term.
What are the main arguments in favour of the ban?
The veil alienates and so stigmatises Muslim women and it creates security problems.
Who opposes the ban?
Muslims and libertarians who think people should be allowed to wear what they want.
What other European countries have voted for a ban?
The Belgian lower house of parliament voted in April to ban all clothing that covers or partially covers the face, but it was dissolved before the law could be enforced.
Will other countries follow suit?
Movements to ban the garments have gained ground across Europe. Polls in Italy, Spain, Germany and Britain have indicated widespread support.
