Who enjoys the League format? Playing a scheduled match once every 3-4 days? It's a way for the serious and the casual gamer to play in an organized competition. If you play you may advance and if you do not play, you get tossed out on your a$$, it's a way to get rid of those annoying inactive players. I am a fan of the League Format and am happy to announce that we will once again be organizing a League Tournament. Our current league system is being rebuilt and does not currently work but we are still going to put on a "For Fun" League to keep you guys active in the communities. Our first League comeback attempt will be for Quakelive and we'll have a competition for the 4 major mods, 4v4 CTF, 4v4 CA, 4v4 TDM and 1v1 DM.

Just head on over on ggl.com for all the details.

The second Challenges Exhibition match will take place soon pitting Swedish Superstar LocKtar vs the Danish jerry who was a member of arguably the greatest Quakeworld clan; Flaming Fist.

Although jerry is not known for his dueling skills, he has been a dueller his entire QW career which has spanned multiple years, fellow FF members dag and pietro were both great TDM'ers and Duelers and I recall jerry kicking some ass in duels also.

jerry dropped off of the 'Quake' world many years ago but I for one am glad to see him back in action. He played Counterstrike for a while and then served his country in the Military. jerry vows to put forth a great effort in this match even though he has only 2 weeks practice vs LocKtar who is at the top of his game right now.

The match is scheduled for 14:00 CST, 22 January 2009 and will possibly be cast by SyN; formerly of iTG. The match will be streamed on QuakeWorld.nu Live and it will of course be available on QTV.

There is a small pre=game interview with jerry and LocKtar over at CHTV

Scheduled: 14:00 CST, 23 November 2008 to 15:00 CST, 23 November 2008
