wow nice! ... i hope this will deliver.

Holy fucking shit. Sign the fuck up bitches!!! :D

Reaper88 make this news more readable because it needs to be majored!

Do i have to create a group if i want to participate in duel?

only if you are fat

No you don't. All you need to do for the moment is register on the site. I'm going to be modifying registration fields for the time being to reflect what mods people are interested in playing for now.

OK, Thank you!

plus for the idea and good luck but at the moment your website looks like one big mess and since it's about to be season 2 I'm guessing its not beta anymore...

The website is brand new. I had to work on it last minute from scratch because someone else had been working on it since September and failed to deliver.

Cenix – WGA Coordinator (Euro Area)

Cenix from CB I guess? Give us infos pls, how will this work?

Hey Yellack:

Yes it is Cenix from CB.

If you participate in the duel System you do not need to be in a group. Groups are for you to communicate with your clan/friends.

We realize that the website in under construction. Things are improving weekly on that aspect. Which is why we are encouraging people now to spread the word. This web site will be 100% before league play.

Each Continental division will run their own leagues until the world championships. I dont want to say to much on this matter until Cenix has a chance to respond as i do not know what he has planned.

a WGA Admin

Hey Fellas:

No you dont have to be part of a group to enter the Duels.
Right now we are implimenting the league management software and we should have that straightened out by early next week. The League start date is April 21/2013 with a roster cutoff date of April 15/2013.
The way the league works is all on the website but in a nutshell ....teamswill be split into divisions with scheduled times that they play. You build up points in your division, have a playoff and produce a winner from the divisions. The divisions then play off to produce a North American./South American/Oceania/Euro winner and we playoff for a World Champion in each Mod.

We are working toward building a World Community League that would run once per year with a 4 month break and produce a World Champ in each Mod.

Cenix is heavily involved on the Euro side and he will be handling the organization for the Euro WGA along with Docpossible and Wookster. As you can see we have an excellent team of people dedicated and passionate about the game. LordKrem and Dis_ are the main admins on the website and as he mentioned he took over that position about 2 weeks ago, so the site is brand new. Every day something is improved or added and as you can see it is coming together. Our league management software will be in place soon and we will soon be fully operational. We have a little time before everything has to be in place and we are confident it will be sooner than later.

We are hosting most mods in QL including All WeaponsFT, iFT, iCTF, CA, Duels, and CTF

"Including" those, but TDM teams can register as well, or only the listed modes can have champions?

Hi Lam:

Sorry, I forgot to put in TDM. There is also a TDM Division but we are not sure how popular it is on the North American front. We are exploring that possibility however we must have a certain amount of teams in NA in order to make it feasible for a World Championship.

Reap

So where are you getting the money from? What sponsor specifically?

This is their main sponsor :

We have 3 main sponsors that we are currently negotiating with. I dont want to say too much until we secure them and jinx us but they are awsome sponsors and very big on the internet. We are just ironing out the details and we will be putting them up on the site very soon.
That pic above is the bomb... where the is that?

Reap

"We have prizes of $1000/division with prizes throughout the season." - Reaper

So that's not secured then?

My contribution:

Stick do Duel; TDM/CTF optional.

Reasons:
Branching out so much at the beginning won't be easy, any gametype with the i in front of it isn't taken seriously, CTF streams viewer number is sad, although it would be nice if someone could change that. TDM stream numbers are a bit better but still very minuscule compared to Duel. First you need to make a name for yourself, faceit didn't get much attention at the beginning, now it's almost a brand. So what I suggest is stick to two of the most popular gametypes and do some test cups first. I don't recall there's any TDM cups with cash prizes (HoQ, CB), so you have an upper hand there. Just leave the public gametypes on hold for now (iFT, FT, iCTF, iAnything, Domination, 1flag ctf etcetetectc), especially if you want to impress the sponsors.

I don't think they are aiming for the competitive crowd. It looks more like they are trying to get casual players into competition. They can't do that with competitive modes; there has to be a transition.

It all started with FT/iFT, I don't think they're gonna change their goals that much.

Hey Flashsoul:

We are aiming for the best players in Quake. If there are enough teams in the NA division in all of the Mods we would like to try running a Pro and a Casual Division for those Mods. The Prize Money would be for the Pro Division and the main part of the prizes would be for the Casual Division as there would be no Prize Money for the Casual Division. Otherwise there will only be a Pro Division.
We had an amazing talent pool last year and hope to have an even better one this year. The players were outstanding and most of all wanted to contribute any way they could toward our WGA community and the game. We are hoping that this year is no different and are hoping that the best players in the game realize what we are trying to accomplish with the WGA and come and join us. We need them in order to achieve our goal.
Our website is almost finished and our League start dates are posted. We are looking for support in the Quake Community by way of membership to our site www.worldgamersarena.com . Please come and register yourself and your clan. We have allot of things planned for the players this season so that we ensure it is even more fun than last.
The start date for the WGA - World Chamionships are April 21/2013 with a roster cutoff of April 15/2013.

Cheers

Reap

I spoke to cenix, show some support guys and register!

Registred aCtion Ligan allready :)

should make a post that makes sense

we will do that soon

This is the tl;dr: I got from reading a bit of those walls of texts. It is a bit weird tournament so anyone can complement this.


NA or EU? From what I read it seems there's one tournament in each region in each mod, with long lasting leagues (ugh). Then the winner of each region qualifies to a second tournament, playing the best EU, NA, etc. clan of each mod (no idea how are they going to deal with lag).

When? April 15th deadline.

Mods/gametypes? Seems like every single mod , no matter the only ones played are duel, tdm, ctf and ca in that order while the rest don't exist (could add freezetag for the lulz). Could use a list here, for example right now the huge instagib community (lol) could be wondering if they can play.

Prizes? This is a major concern, considering I have no clue if those were paid last season (if any) or if the current ones are already secured or not (memento mori proven).

the huge instagib community (lol)

insta was more popular than All-weapons in the FT leagues.

Hey Mega:

We are aiming for an 8 week regular season with scheduled games and an 8 week playoffs. Then World Championship after that.
The mods and game types are listed above along with the start dates of the League.
Last year this league was incredible, it merged the European and the North American Leagues into one World League. It was awsome to meet and talk to people all over the world and we are looking forward to all the other countries joining in to make it an official World League and more importantly meet, play and promote our game with people from other countries around the globe.
Last year we offered iFT and All Weapons FT and were very successful at pulling off Championships in both Mods. We are confident that we will be able to pull it off once again as the connections are just getting better from overseas. The league lasted 6 months. The average ping for the opposing side in the All Weapons was 100-110 and the insta was 120 but steady. So the ping issue will only improve as we progress and we have some other ideas in the mean time.

Reap

When u start a World Championship tournament, than ofcourse on Lan. I think the pingside is to Hight between NA and Europe.

Perhaps u and Faceit, Clanbase, HouseofQuake can work together on this projekt.

But the Idear, i think is very well.
Pluss u! :)

WGA SEASON FINALE ON ADROITS LAN!
