ESL.eu Quake Live Duel Springleague

March 9, 2009 No comments Article

esl-europeAfter having recently launched a Quake Live ladder, ESL.eu yesterday announced their Quake Live spring league, which will run from 30 March to 31 May.

A league system is different from the ladder format though, so allow me to explain the system for those who are not familiar with it yet.

Groupstage

After having signed up, all competitors are being placed into several groups. Each player has to play against all other players in their group. If you win a match against a player, you get points. If you win enough matches and end near the top of your group, you advance to the playoffs.

The playoffs

Once you reach the playoffs all players will be organized into brackets. From now on, if you’re knocked out, you’re out of the league. Read More

About a week ago we announced a restyling of this website. We kept our promise and here it is! The old design was limited in options and a reorganization of the layout was badly needed.

Although the new design might still be a bit buggy the first few days, most things should be running smoothly if you’re running IE7+. Bugs in IE6 will be fixed later on.

Either way… Lets review some of the major improvements in this theme. Read More

March 5, 2009 16 comments Article

quake-live-pollIt’s been 10 days since Quake Live went public beta. The press and interest for the  game proved to be overwhelming and totally unexpected, as many first timers had to queue up for hours and hours trying to play the game for the very first time.

Today things have settled, the queue system has been removed and things are running smooth again.

Now that everybody has had the chance to test the game we were wondering what your first impression of Quake Live was, the very first time you played.

You can rate your first impression from a number from 0 to 5 and optionally share your thoughts in the comments. Read More
