Event: FACEIT

Here are the FACEIT Daily Cups for 6 to 9 May. All the cups will kick off at 19:30 BST, with check-ins opening at 18:30 BST, except for the CA cups, which will start one hour earlier, 18:30 BST (check-in opens at 17:30 BST).

Monday will feature the Level 4 and Level 8 duel cups, while on Wednesday the other two levels, 6 and 10, will be able to face each other off.

This week we will be featuring two Team Deathmatch cups instead of CA. On Tuesday the TDM 2v2 Cup will take place, while on Thursday teams of four can get their fix. This does not mean we will stop hosting CA cups, but we will be alternating every week between TDM and CA.

You can create a team in the right top corner (2/4 - depending which cup - players per team max.). If you are already in a team, you will have to quit it. Be sure all players check-in.

AlexeyA:
"Hi everybody! My name is Aleksey. Beginning with February 2013 I am sponsoring the 125 FPS QuakeLive League ([url=\"http://125fps.com\"]) and provide almost all of the prize money from my own pocket. Why do I do this? Because like many of us I played the first Quake and even Duke Nukem)) on lan during my childhood. Time goes by and Im a grown-up man now with all the obligations that come along with it. Yet still I want the Quake community to flourish and reward me and all fans of the game with great matches, tournaments, reports etc.
When there are no tournaments with prize money the interest of players and fans decreases and thats what Im trying to combat. Im sure Im not the only one. The community has a lot of adult, successful people, as well as many young people who fell in love with the game.
I want to ask the community to help build on the foundation I and the 125fps team have laid and increase the prizes in the coming leagues. Fundraising is nothing new and is employed to collect funds for all kinds of events. Im sure that many of you will be happy to chip in a sum thats admissible for yourselves and even happier to follow the tournament you yourself made a contribution to!
Below are various ways to donate money for prize funds of 125fps.com leagues.
The reputation of the 125fps leagues guarantees for a fair distribution of funds. I myself will continue to contribute about 31500p(~1000$) every month.
I propose the following prize money distribution (31500RUR + donations)

1st 15000RUR + 40% of donations
2nd 7500RUR + 20% of donations
3rd 3000RUR + 10% of donations
4th 2000RUR + 5% of donations
5th - 8th - 1000RUR + 2,5% of donations

15% of the donations will go towards the organization and coverage of the league, in particular recruitment of streamers.
Additionally I suggest limiting the prize pool of every league by 3500$. If there is more than 2500$ worth of donations the surplus funds get transfered to the next league. The biggest donators will be listed below every leagues prize pool (voluntary).
The fundraising will start with the announcement of the next league."

The second episode of the Esports Heaven show, hosted by Cadred's

The first 80 minutes of the broadcast saw

Duncan "Thorin" Shields, Editor-in-Chief of Team Acer, joined the show, which then became a back-and-forth debate between the two guests on the topic of esports journalism.

Aus/NZ TDM Tournament (and ctf finals) (20 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by mickzerofive @ 04:18 BST, 10 May 2013 - iMsg

Figured for those who are interested that I would continue entertaining the international scene with some updates of the Australian/NZ scene. 4sg have just announced their online TDM competition which has already gathered interest from the likes of

Dandaking,

Fraze,

Camma,

Phyrigian and soon to sign up

Python,

Haste,

wch and

zlr. As most of you are already aware, the Australian/NZ scene doesn't exactly follow the same team mode map pool as the European's or American's and some of you may be interested to follow the competition. TDM and CTF are equally played around the same amount and we constantly rotate between each of the modes. In early 2013, 4sg also had their online CTF Grand Finals which turned out to be a very exciting match that came down to the wire.. literally. More details below

Had some leftover frags from my last movies so I figured I'd throw something together quick. Tried to put emphasis on Esr's favorite music and weapon. Used my ingame config and hud.

Evening gents. Here's my newest fragmovie called STAAL, featuring the players who play for team STAAL; etty, zeun, s8n and plazma.

Been working on the project for about 1 1\2 months now, and I've now decided to release it. I've had some problems last couple of days trying to encode it from .avi to x264, but it's just not happening for me, sadly. The render looks terrible after vegas, and it looks worse after encoding, eventhough I've tried to encode it via FFmpeg, MegUI and Virtualdub. Anyways, thanks to the people who tried to assist me in that. (In short, sorry for .wmv, I promise to sort it out next time.)

Programs used

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback during the process, especially to the players featured of course. ;) I hope you enjoy it.

Are you annoyed that mappools of recent tournaments consist of oldschool maps for the most part? Do you long for something fresh? Then don't miss the experimental tournament series - 125 FPS Fresh Blood. As you probably already guessed the unusualness of this series lies in the mappool.

From Monday to Friday (13-17 May) there will be five open tournaments, a new map every day. Players will collect points during every tournament. At the end of the week the 8 players with the most points will face off in the final tournament on Saturday (18 May).

Update: We decided to make final tournament open for everyone!
