"The sign-ups will be running until the 4th of January 2008."

am i getting it wrong or what ?

Frag Dominant decided to hold a Q3 CQ3 2v2 TDM tournament at the beginning of 2008

wow, who won it? ;)

the cq3 scene seems pretty active

This mappool is strange.

We're going with this set of maps as they are most familiar with the majority of quake players, both casual and competitive. ospdm6 is the only map that might be a learning experience for anyone truly new to Quake TDM.

And before people ask CQ3 was chosen at this time as the changes are more inline to teamwork/teamplay. There will be an exhibition match announced soon that will help showcase the game play. I hope game play that stress teamwork and map control over raw aim will be welcomed as more NA'ers check it out. (From the sounds of it people prefer CQ3 over VQ3 in Europe for some very good reasons!)

Tomorrow, game servers will begin popping up all over the US in support of the tournament. We have 2 Chicago, 2 Dallas, 1 LA, 2 NYC and 1 ATL with more to come if needed thanks to our server sponsor, NXGS.

NICE

Yeah, it's mainly ospdm6 I was confused about, because it tradiotionally was played in 4v4, while the pool has no ospdm11 which has proven to be a well-suited map for 2v2, and no ztndm1?

ospdm6 was actually in a lot of 2v2 map pools going back over the years.

"From the sounds of it people prefer CQ3 over VQ3 in Europe for some very good reasons!"

nope, not really, its just getting forced up their ass atm.

quite true.

interesting, so why is vq3 so much better than cq3?

because cq3 is not an improved gameplay to resemble the old osp days which everyone seems to want back but a completely new gameplay. An improved vq3 would simply be lg 7, mg 5, rail 80 and cripple removed, thats it, no new shit hitsounds, no ramp jumps, no other plasma cells, no "improved" item sizes etc. etc.

actually beeing able to know better how much damage you do (by the different hitsounds) is good.

that may be your opinion, its certainly not mine

but what you don't like? beeing able to know that, or the sounds themselves?

because yeah, they don't sound that cool...

because the shit that people like about VQ3 is a side effect of the stupid strong weapons, weak armour and cripple

who would take control

edit: but nice prizepool

Don't for get the video cards that go out to the top 3 teams as well: PowerColor PLAY! HD4850, PowerColor PLAY! HD4830, PowerColor PLAY! HD4670.

Good Stuff!

Fixed !

So many prizes I somehow got lost

phew done

Sounds like you could've worked for the CPL !

I did my time at ClanBase already : p

come back to gaming !

CQ3 sux ?








ps: nice prizes

Again? Why don't you ignore all CQ3 related news/threads and stop fishing for [+]'s from the VQ3 community? Idiot.

why are you insult me....

idiot

mofo

Why are you so determined to attack CQ3?

Then don't play it, fool.

not as much as vq3, but yea cq3 is pretty slow and dull

very very nice! lets hope for some good signups, too bad its a NA tourney

xou if you change one year at least change both

"Frag Dominant decided to hold a Q3 CQ3 2v2 TDM tournament at the beginning of 2008"

i highly doubt that !!! :D

I srsly was confused when I made this news, yeah : (

Fucken nice prizes!

"Only north american teams" --- pfff sux

anyone wanna team up with me ???


I know am too newb for this hence we would not have a remote chance of winning but 2v2 is always fun.
would have liked ztn3dm1 instead of dm7 in 2v2.

telnet,

it's amazing you still hang out around the north american quake community considering you've been banned from pretty much every organization running any kind of tournament. if you're allowed to enter this tournament i'll be very surprised, considering your history with crashing servers, specifically GGL ones, and the people who're admins for the tournament (Syn, Alien, xterm, and Beef; all work for GGL).

however, if your interest is purely for spectating, more power to you.

Prove he hacks, then maybe you'll have justification for your harsh opinions on him.

Innocent until proven guilty.

my comment referred to crashing servers, which was proved.

really nice !
looking forward to it

the prizes are so amazing
that i thought it was a fake cup X))

CQ3 \:D/

Nice cup ... though I wish europeans were allowed to sign up :)
I personally wouldn't mind playing on american servers !

I think that shipping prizes to europe will be kinda problem.

if you know how to send from US to europe it's piece of a cake.
And there is always razer in europe.......

But that's exactly why it's only for US teams. They don't want to send ALL of the prizes to Europe...

gogo vampire fighting!!

very nice prizes

who wants to win with me? ;)

let's do this together !!

.

go walter!

.

enter the tournie & pwn $

i like how you make it american only so that a european team doesnt rape 1st place with 100+ ping

"begins in 4 days" and i dont see anyone training on servers=/

Last minute fail with that update :p

nice prizepool. i've always wanted to test a razer deathadder but i'm too avaricious to buy one :D

It's very nice.

well, i believe you.
problem is i've played with a logitech mouse all my life. A few months ago I bought a Logitech G5 and i'm happy with it. probably I would just test the deathadder and then say "good mouse but i'll stick to logitech anyway".

would be a waste of money ... I think.

Has anyone tried out the Salmosa yet?

Wow these are nice prizes!

You read it here first folks.

Switch the first place team with 2nd place, and you've got a more accurate estimation.

And if I'm wrong I owe you a pint =)

wrong, replace replace 1st with 3rd.

That's what I'm sayin!

DaFone? as in bananaphone?

ring ring bitch!

ooh Fith! GO CHIEF!

fuck you.

Fuck you too <3

Why couldn't they start the tourney a little earlier, i would've liked to watch this live. :(

tournament hasnt started yet.

I realize that, im just saying that most of us europeans wont get to watch it. :< Maybe i shouldve phrased it differently.

i didn't think walter could afford a phone...

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

DaFoneMenWithoutFones

why bother hosting online tournament when half of the players are using autoshot and will never get busted...

with prizes i mean

I see that there should be a pwnagetv stream, but will there be a gtv?

GTV - gtv.takingbackesports.com:27960

Thats in the server list actually

stream plz? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

2 - {DFM}: kgb/walter

if you can't beat them, join them!

:D

i thought he lost on purpose to him at eswc, as he didnt wanna take rapha spot?

XD

is someone going to be posting up the scores? i am not able to watch or get on irc

So wtf is up with this? Could've done the whole thing in a day.

First match was played this morning, around 5am CET.
I understood Syn finally managed to fix the scheduling system, so we may see a list of the incoming matches soon.

Unfortunately people are busy and have lives (yes even on the weekends) so theres probably a good reason they spread it out across 6 weeks. But that probably never occurred to you.

Don't give me that horseshit with your stupid assumptions kid. Playing a 2v2 single elimination cup on a single day leads to less ff games than spreading it across weeks where again and again something turns up.

why spread this out over 6 weeks? seriously retarded.

Walter when you win will you send me those headphones?
