I believe WCG have already announced their games -- And Quake Live isn't on the list. Same goes for ESWC. Counter-Strike Source gets picked up but QL doesn't? What a farce.

Yeah, I can see that, but strenx said on his FB page that WCG will have QL too. Gonna copy:

Kevin "Strenx" Baeza <@SyncError|work> Hells yeah, good news from WCG so far'
and the owner of MLG said that quake live isn't dead

LOL dream much?

So who would you choose to trust? A French player or the actual people that run the thing?
:s

neither

That stuff is pretty old now

Hm, strenx wrote that like 20h ago :) Thought this are new news ;)

super old ninja topic!

=[

Indeed, sad. :(
Why are they so easily bribed by these third party F2P game developers? I believe the WCG shouldn't be about money but actually showing off the games that can really be considered eSports. Just makes my blood boil. D:

ESWC
http://www.readmore.de/index.php?cont=news&id=7983

One rts title has yet to be announced (most likely sc2) and the game list isn't final.

ye, I am hoping for that too after SC2 will be added.

The site seems to have been hacked - all the letters have been mixed up so that the words don't make sense :(

English source :P

Did ESWC pay out for 2010?

No idea.. I think they did

Took out a loan to pay the prize money.

Quake is pretty much dead after dreamhack&qcon in terms of serious competition.

I smell rapha&avek going to uni next year, Cooller quiting, Cypher focusing on studies etc.

MLG won't pick it up unless their (poor) ladder suddenly booms in player numbers which we know won't happen. ESWC is ran by other people, so I don't expect anything. WCG is WCG :)

isnt cyphers contract another 2 years or so? but you are right: if there are no tournaments he cannot play :D

but then maybe toxqj will be back :)

just for one event, sadly.

If i become a billionaire i'll throw some $100,000 tournaments for quake. You can help out by donating $100 for me right now to get me started

K, I will give u 1000$ for your start

But I've only got one pop. :<

Sounds legit.

Or approach Mr.Arbalet instead.

I think this it will be at WCG and MLG, then they will rethink their position because IEM and ESWC dropped it, but IEM and ESWC will look at how WCG and MLG picked it up and pick it up again too, so next year it won't be at WCG and MLG, but will be again at IEM and ESWC. And then it will finally die.

Finally, can't wait for the last good FPS to die so we get get some serious COD action happening!

WCG will always be SC-oriented. Because of management and crowd-gathering.
As for ESWC....meh...

Ye, WCG have like half of games only for Asian players so they can be 'the best'' :))

Anyway, I want to see vote results. Imo QL had really hi number of vote. COD CS players voted for QL too. Been following on SK gaming web page and many CS COD players said 'ql hell yea!'

I'm really getting the impression that 99% of all ESR-Users are emo-bitches...

QL hat the most succesfull year to date in 2010 with arguably the best games in Quake (3/Live) history. And you allready start whining your eyes off because it "will" die. What the fuck is wrong with you guys?!

From Where do you get the proven information that IEM won't feature Quake Live?!
There is no official games-list for IEM VI yet. Only thing we got till now is some players saying that ESL maybe won't feature QL next season.
In the meantime ESL asked for the communitys voice on what games should be featured in IEM VI. Guess what had the most "votes" apart from CS 1.6/SCII? QUAKE F***ING LIVE! Even more than CSS, CoD and other more populated games. I would not count QL out for the IEM VI Season yet.

From where do you get the information that ESWC won't pick it up??? They've had Quake in since 2002 in every single Tournament they've hosted (apart from the one that was in China because there Quake is baned). It allways brought them reasonable ammounts of viewers (even last year there were some X-thousand viewers). Untill now they have only published 5 games for the 2011 edition but only in 2002 they had 5 games in their competition, since then there were atleast 6 games on the list (not counting the Masters-Events) and in 2011 they even had 11 (!) official games. I think they will atleast feature 3 aditional games (imo QL, SCII and SSFIV). So here again we don't know if there will be QL or not but it would be an upset for me if they don't pick it.

WCG, well fuck them! The last time they have featured a Duel FPS was in 2004 and the last time they've featured Quake was in 2002, so who gives a shit about them???

MLG would be really if they would pick it as a Pro-Circuit game (and toss out SSBB) but It does not generate enough viewers in the US (their main market) so it is unlikely.

QuakeCon will feature it for sure and same goes for DreamHack.

Quake Live is nowhere near to dead and it won't die in the next year (I would even predict that it won't die untill Doom 4 is out, cuz I still hope that it will have a good 1vs1 multiplayer).

well.. it seems that ESWC didnt / will not pick Quake Live afterall...

Not emo, we are being realistic and you, sir, are way too optimistic.

Warcraft III cancelled

Given the low international mobilisation around the game Warcraft III, both from the community and local tournament organisers, the organizing committee has decided to cancel the game’s presence in 2011. As a result, the Starcraft 2 tournament will be open to more participants and the organizing committee reserves the right to add a new game in the coming weeks.

start spamming :)

stop spamming :(
