DGC - SA Quake Live Championships 2013 (69 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by M4nimal @ 06:16 CDT, 13 September 2013 - iMsg

Scheduled: 07:00 CDT, 4 October 2013 to 15:00 CDT, 4 October 2013
Schedule: Passed

The last time Quake Live featured at a major gaming event in South African was at rAge 2010, where international stars from MSI Fnatic,

Sebastian Spart1e Siira and

Pierre-Emeric l1nkje Portier attended. The event ended on a high, with SA's #1 at the time,

Stephen Ph4ntom Cloete played in an exhibition match against Spart1e, which ended in overtime with Spart1e winning 10 - 9.

Since then, its mostly been a barren desert. In 2012, the [email protected] hosted an online 1v1 tournament along with two other tournaments that year. This led to Quake becoming a featured game for the Do Gaming League in 2013. After two seasons, we're finally seeing the top 8 from the Do Gaming League (DGL) face off against each other at this years final - the Do Gaming Championships!

I get 14 ping, JHB to JHB server. Cape Town peeps get around 30 ping CT to JHB. We dont have any CT servers. To overseas, looking at 200+

tbone - Reply to #18

I don't think there is a pipe directly through africa, he probably has much better ping to Italy/EU.

We ping 170 to Rotterdam though! Hopefully technology improves and in 5 years its down to 100.

i ping better in USA ( 180 ) than to South Africa ( 400 ) so i can't really play there

It would probably be between Detrony and Shase, both of whom qualified, but are playing in other events at the tournament, unfortunately they made it that you could only play one game at the tournament, and they have team commitments.

If we include inactive players there is also Szarko and Ph4ntom.

In this tournament, tbh most of the players are pretty closely skilled, games are all going to be tight.

they're not going to be tight unless you specify a comparison to something that is tight!

Had so much fun covering this event, the South African guys were very cool and I'm impressed how smoothly they managed to run everything!

Gonna work on cutting up the VODs soon and putting up the interviews. Can all be found on www.twitch.tv/zootlive/videos and soon on www.youtube.com/zootql

I wanna thank the players, but I won't name any the winner coz I don't wanna make spoilers - but congrats to him!!

Thanks again Zoot and Ins..
It still feels pretty surreal that you guys casted for us haha.

I'm super happy that everything turned out so well and that the players competing managed to put on such a show!

Finished watching the full stream again yesterday and really enjoyed it :)

Cheers!

So Ph4ntom & Detrony are off to DH 2013 to represent SA!

I hope they can get Szarko, Shase & the other top SA players to help them practice...
