DHW: Duel tournament full and TDM update (313 comments)

With less than two weeks left before the DreamHack Winter 2011 kicks off with two awesome tournaments it's time to announce all the players and teams attending. Seeds for the duel tournament will be released together will the final TDM update next week. The sign up time for TDM has yet not expired, so if you want to go don't hesitate to send in an application before Wednesday (17/11).

The last duel spots will go to Portugal Insan3, Sweden madix, Belgium dem0n and all the way from Australia Australia Ventz. I think it's also noteworthy that the grand final for the duel tournament will be played in the brand new DreamHack AMD SAPHIRE Arena. Which will be inside the hockey arena just next to the DreamHack venue. The Quake Live Duel final will be played just before the StarCraft 2 final, so I expect all the 4 000 seats to be filled!
Currently we have 6 TDM teams signed up, but I expect us to get around 10-12 teams until the sign up time runs out.

Another ZOTAC Qualifier cup #2 is coming in a few hours and we promised to release a few new sign ups before it starts. I'm getting very excited because there's more and more players signing up every day.

We've decide to invite Russia Cooller, Sweden toxjq, Germany k1llsen, Sweden Spart1e and United States of America rapha. With these 5 players invited that leaves two more for the ZOTAC Qualifier Cup #2 and another 4 players for us to invite. So apply for a spot soon if you want to play at DreamHack Winter. The sign up is open for about another week, it closes the 10th of november (yes, the rules state that 17th is the last sign up date but that has been changed).


Please spread the word and ask all TDM teams to sign up. I hope that we can manage at least 10-12 teams for the tournament.

Yesterday the first of two Qualifier Cups for the Duel tournament at DreamHack Winter 2011 was played. Just before the tournament started we decided to announce three invites on IRC to open up the increase the chance of up and coming players attending at DreamHack.
That means that Belarus Cypher (Defending Champion), Poland av3k and France strenx was invited before the cup started.
The tournament was ran by ZOTAC and with some interesting and perhaps upset matches we had our two first invites. strenx finished first with 3 straight maps vs Poland Pawelek (aka matr0x). Pawelek had some tough games before the final game but beating players like cypher and reload.

Since strenx already was invited an invite opened up for the players playing the semifinal and quarterfinals. We decided that Germany reload should receive the second invite because of some impressive play and he was as close as it possibly can be to qualify to DreamHack Summer 2011.


I know more teams did sign up for the TDM. If you sent an e-mail to esport [at] dreamhack.se but wasn't on this list come and talk to blaze in mIRC #Dreamhack.Quake.

See attached files for rules. Some changes was made.

Qualify To The Dreamhack Duel Tournament (74 comments)

We're proud that together with ZOTAC host two Qualifier Tournaments for the Duel tournament at DreamHack Winter 2011. Not only that they sponsor the TDM tournament, but also helps us with this! ZOTACs Sunday Cups (#107 and #108) will host as the actual qualifiers and the two finalists will be given an invite each to the tournament at DreamHack.


This will also be the only way to qualify into the DreamHack Tournament, as the rest of the invites will be handed out by us. Of course, if the finalists are already qualified we will hand out the invites to the semifinalists instead so no invites will be lost.

With this being said it also means that we will invite the first players before Sunday and also release the rules for both tournaments! Stay tuned for more info!
If you've got any questions feel free to join us at mIRC #Dreamhack.Quake.

We would also encourage everyone to sign up to DreamHacks own tournaments (Duel/TDM)

I'm bad at writing news, so here is a nice copy/paste from the announcement on dreamhack.se.
Twitch.TV join ZOTAC and Plantronics to support Quake Live at DreamHack Winter 2011. DreamHack cancel Showmatch in Duel and replace it with a real 16-player duel tournament.

DreamHack is about listening to the community and after our announcement yesterday with a SEK 60 000 TDM-tournament and a SEK 20 000 Showmatch in Duel – we got alot of feedback that the community would love to have a real duel tournament on-site.

At the same time we got approached by our streaming partner Twitch.TV and they said they could support a Duel tournament with $5,000 in prize money. So we have decided to cancel the Showmatch with SEK 20 000 in Quake Live and replace with with a real Duel tournament with 16 players – in addition to our already existing TDM-tournament. This will give us a Duel tournament with SEK 55 000and a TDM-tournament with SEK 60 000 which is a total prize purse of SEK 115 000 in Quake Live only – one of the biggest total prize purses DreamHack have pulled off in this game.

“DreamHack announce Quake = good, but no Duel make ppl sad :( . We add duel tournament to make people happy! HIGH FIVES ALL ROUND” said James ’2GD’ Harding, Twitch.TV Europe

All matches will of course be broadcasted live at www.twitch.tv. More information and details about the on-site coverage will be presented later.

DreamHack can together with the two sponsors ZOTAC and Plantronics finally present all the details of our Quake Live TDM tournament: DreamHack ZOTAC Championship. Last Summer DreamHack proudly hosted the first Quake Live TDM tournament in a very long time. With the great success and high quality of the tournament it was an easy choice to go with Quake Live TDM again for this DreamHack.
“Quake Live is the ballet of eSports, it’s an art and a sport, a experience that tickle all your senses. It feels great to have both Plantronics and ZOTAC in this project and support one of the most dedicated communities out there.” said Fredrik Nystrom, Press Officer at DreamHack.

“This year we’ll only host a TDM-tournament, but we’ll add some duel to it – at the new DreamArena in the ice hockey arena we’ll host one showmatch in duel with 20 000 SEK on the line. We want to show the world of eSports that Quake Live still is a great spectator game.” said Tomas Hermansson, Head of eSports at DreamHack.
