So the tech guy hosting them, Suom1 told me id has finally found the problem and fixed it (only took 1 year, yeah..).
I checked and my lagometer was fine during 30 minutes of game play, no spikes with a stable ping of 5. Can more people please try them out to confirm all issues are gone?
Once again we are pleased to announce that Level Up TV will be present, on site, this year during DreamHack Winter (24-27 November) to provide official coverage for the Quake Live duel and TDM tournaments.
This is our 5th consecutive DreamHack event after having covered the Winter 2009, Summer 2010, Winter 2010 and Summer 2011 events, therefore we aim to bring you, as always, the best possible coverage.
Ziggy "nVc" Orzeszek and Stuart "Disrepute" Evans will be your dedicated casters for the tournaments. We will try to pair them with various pros as much as we can, and of course James "2GD" Harding might also be jumping on stream whenever he’s available.
On top of that we’d like to welcome our latest addition Antoine "sharpe" Goeuriot who will be on site with our crew, working on highlights of the day, interviews and much more. You can enjoy his short hype video for our coverage below:
The setup will be pretty much the same as the one used during DreamHack Summer 2011, so be sure to expect a free 60 fps, 720p stream for your viewing pleasure. Twitch.TV is the streaming platform that will be used.
Lastly, we would also like to take this opportunity to announce our new website being launched today. This project has been in the works for quite some time and we’re happy to finally be able to release it. We will be adding content and updates to it as we go along, so we hope you will all enjoy it.
Important Note!

Level Up TV's Kevin "ischju" Mischker, in collaboration with fragster.de, has produced a second TDM video guide on the map "Purgatory" from his POV against Team France in an online practice.
The video guide aims to provide some insight on how the map purgatory can be played. While solely casted from ischju's pov, during the game we discuss positioning, map control and generally asses the team's decision making.
Below you have mirrors for the new "Purgatory" TDM guide as well as the "deep inside" TDM guide in case you haven't watched it yet. Thanks to Maverick for hosting as well.
DreamHack have released today a pre-hype video for their Winter Event. It features footage from the last DreamHack Summer TDM tournament and it was created under James "2GD" Harding's entertainment brand by community movie-maker mccormic.
More info regarding the Quakelive tournament at DreamHack Winter 2011 will follow soon. Rest assured there will be Quake!

Hey guys,
I am in the process of moving all of our VOD collection to Youtube. This is a humongous task as we have almost 1000 videos that need uploading and sorting.
I have decided to start with the major events we covered then move on to the other online cups and tourneys. So far Dreamhack Summer 2010, Winter 2010 and Summer 2011 are nicely organized into playlists, with proper game sequence. IEM events to follow.
I will update this topic every time there is some progess, so make sure to check back.

The setup will be pretty much the same as we had during DreamHack Winter 2010, the only difference this time is that we will be using one of DreamHack’s Justin.tv channels. We know some of the European ISPs have had some routing issues with Justin.tv streams, but Cristian "Trance" Tamas is doing the best he can to eliminate those by working with the Justin technical crew. As for the tech side of things, be sure to expect a free 60 fps, 720p stream running at no less than 2.5-3 MB/s !
Everybody here at Level Up TV is hyped up and looking forward for this great event and we hope we will be able to share as much of the DreamHack spirit as possible with all of you back home.

I came across this video which I find hilarious to say the least! I still can't tell if he's either half trollin', full on trollin' or actually being serious!
Either way, this is priceless :)
Welcome to the church of e-sports! Halelujah brothers!

Level Up TV would today, a week after the conclusion of the Quake Live tournaments at DreamHack Winter, like to conclude our own personal on-site coverage of the event by releasing the secondary content we promised in our initial press release.
As an organisation, we were well aware of the difficulties that we could potentially meet head on when initially taking on the huge task of covering live events on-site, we wanted to make efforts to ensure that we provided the best possible service to our viewers with the limited resources that we had at our disposal. Taking all of this into consideration we are today able to release our "Level Up TV at DreamHack" video presentation.
The 71 minute footage was recorded during the 3 days of the Quake Live tournaments and it varies in content from interviews, event area walkthroughs, the ramblings of the players and of course, a brief chat with mr. Day9 himself!
The main purpose of it, was to try and share with the viewers our first time experience at DreamHack, showcasing some of that atmosphere that both Quake Live and DreamHack is so famous for.
Once again we hope you have all enjoyed our coverage for this event and we would like to thank all of our donors, viewers and supporters.

As part of Level Up TV's DreamHack Winter 2010 coverage, this is the first interview of a series that we plan to continue during the event itself. Basically just some 1on1's with the pros, talking about everything and nothing.
Today I sat down with Romain "dem0n" Leclerq, who happens to live just 500m away from myself. Since he has been quite on fire these past 2 weeks, and given the proximity of his location, he was the ideal candidate to kick this new series off. The interview itself ranges from Quake, his real life persona and future plans to (inevitably) blonds and football :)
Once again thank you dem0n for the interview and all the best in your future tournaments!

What the fuck is wrong with them? Seriously.
95% of them won't post outside of UK. Why?! All the other ebay sellers from Germany, France, Holland, Italy, Spain, wherever, do so, but noooo UK ebayers don't do that, they have to be special, unique and utterly retarded...
I have a 100% ebay rating and it's not like Belgium is Zimbabwe (no offense to Zimbabweans) or 1000km away. I have bought stuff even from Singapore, and granted it took a week to be delivered, but they SENT IT OUTSIDE THEIR COUNTRY.
GET A FUCKING CLUE OR GET THE FUCK OFF EBAY. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
Before anyone asks, I keep finding these great deals for a new phone I want to buy and they all happen to be in the UK, thats how I ended there.
