Esportsheaven Sapphire Euro Challenge

Lashknife — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:03:36 +0000

Sometimes very early announcements go lost in space, together with all the other news that you've read but already forgot about a week later. And that's a shame! So 6 to 5 days prior to the ESH Sapphire Euro Challenge, I think it's a good time to post about the upcoming qualifier rounds and the conclusion of this competition!

Four qualification rounds, each Saturday, starting with the 7th of August, and a final playoff round that will go down on September 11th (hmm déjà vu :p) Anyway, format of this first qualifier round - and probably the same for the next 3 - is a single elimination, best-of-1 with the quarter finals and up being best-of-3. There's room for 128 players who can choose from ztntourney1, qztourney4, qzdm13, qztourney7 and qztourney9 to play their game on.

So first round, next Saturday the 7th, starting at 14:00 CET (check-in from 20 minutes prior) so sign up and participate to the fun on #esh.ql!

And remember kids, there's £ 500 to be won! Good luck!

QuakeCon 2010 Tournaments!

Lashknife — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:15:43 +0000

Dallas, Texas! The place to be for one of the world's most known LAN parties ever: QuakeCon! Held August 12-15 at the Hilton Anatole! But this post is not about the accomodations regarding QuakeCon, it's about the tournaments that will be played there!

QuakeCon 2010 will feature 3 tournaments:

The Intel QUAKE LIVE Masters Championship will feature a 64 of the world's best players in a double-elimination best-of-3 match system which concludes in a best-of-5 final. Prize stash consists of over $25000 and the gold spot goes home with no less than $14000! Impressive!

But that's just one, as a second tournament there will be The QUAKE LIVE Capture the Flag Championship and yes you read that right: Capture the flag. It's awesome that at such an event, CTF will be present as a tournament on such a great event as QuakeCon!
Again over $25000 (of which $14000 to the winning team) in a single-elimination best-of-3 match system.

And to conclude, there's The QUAKE LIVE Open Tournament available to any who show up to claim $1500 for first spot. A very nice prize for a free-to-all Duel competition in a single-elimination best-of-3 system.

Pre-registration for the Masters and CTF tournaments is available on http://www.quakecon.org/tournament which is also the source for rules and terms of the events. The Open Tournament is on a first-come-first-served basis, so be on time!

Fnatic BEAT IT Qualifiers #1 and #2

Lashknife — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:13:32 +0000

When Fnatic Play announced their BEAT IT competition, 4 qualifiers were supposed to happen at some future date.
The dates were unconfirmed apparently as it's July 2010 and tonight the first qualifier takes place, with the 2nd tomorrow!

Qualifier #1 and #2 will be a Single Elimination, Bo1 system with Bo3 in the finals. The top 4 will be qualified to play in the invite-tournament where 16 yet to be determined players are pre-invited.
Interesting stuff as there's already a prize for just being 1st and 2nd place in each qualifier, which is very nice:

1st: qualified + $175
2nd: qualified + $75
3rd and 4th: qualified

ESWC 2010 Roundup

Lashknife — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 13:43:00 +0000

The Electronic Sports World Championships of 2010 have come to an end, and while many games were played, we of course only focus on Quake Live, as the 14 contestants - some couldn't make it, were replaced, ... - had to battle it out in order to have a chance to take away a nice pot of gold!

Group stage: part 1

Group #1 saw rapha, CAREEM, noctis and k1llsen, but CAREEM didn't make it to DisneyLand Paris, so it's down to the North American favourite to show what he's got against noctis and k1llsen. Two sound victories there leave it up to the Europeans to claim 2nd place. A tense 3-mapper sees noctis claim the spot over k1llsen.

Group #2 lists Sl1p, Cooller, strenx and bodzo. Cooller being the favourite here, does what he does and claims 3 wins in 2:0 games. strenx follows along with two 2:0 games and bodzo claims his game against Sl1p in a 2:1 match.

Group #3: stermy, Cypher, l1nkje and GaRpY. Another full European group which sees highseeder Cypher secure his 3 wins, stermy going to next round with 2 wins and GaRpY winning the consolation game of this group against l1nkje.

Group #4 features only 3 players, but another North American contestant: DaHang to hold his own against the likes of av3k and fazz. fazz being the underdog in this group, manages to steal 1 map from DaHang but sees the other 2 maps go to DaHang, who finishes 2nd in this group as av3k beats both players with a 2:0 victory.

Group stage: part 2

Stakes go up as the brackets narrow down to just 8 players divided in 2 groups!

The remaining 4 players for Group A in part 2 are: rapha, stermy, av3k and strenx. rapha slips up against stermy but gets a hold of himself in his games against strenx and av3k, be it not too solid, but it does see him go to next round. strenx unfortunately is eliminated during this round as he lost all 3 maps, but not without a good fight versus both av3k and stermy. Out of the latter 2, only 1 can join rapha in the playoffs and it is av3k who beats stermy, securing 1st spot over rapha in this group.

Group B puts Cypher, Cooller, DaHang and noctis in the pit. noctis is pinned against the wall with only 1 map win against Cypher, who does manage to beat Cooller, but loses to DaHang. Cooller in turn wins against DaHang and DaHang beats Cypher. With noctis eliminated, this puts all 3 of them on equal terms in map wins, but it is the for-against scores of the games in between these 3 players that sees DaHang lead this group and Cooller taking 2nd place.

Playoffs

av3k and rapha join up with DaHang and Cooller in the Semi Finals, but it happens so that the Europeans and North Americans are pitched against each other, which leaves a final that is intercontinental!

It's only Best of 3 - kind of a weird decision in such a large scale money-supported tournament - but it's av3k outplaying Cooller on ztntourney1 and qzdm13 that sees av3k secure his spot in the final, and on the other end of the Atlantic Ocean - figuratively then as it's all happening in DisneyLand Paris - that rapha wins from DaHang in a 2:0 win as well.

3rd place goes to Cooller as in this consolation (hardly with the money attached to the bronze position) match it takes again just 2 mapwins to secure the $2000 for Cooller against DaHang.

But the main event is the Grand Final between rapha and av3k, and it promises to be a good game with rapha needing all his skill to keep av3k at bay in a 7:2 on qzdm13 and a close 6-5 on qztourney7, as such only needing 2 maps which rewards the gold player rapha with $8000 and silver spot av3k with $4000.
Congratulations!

If you didn't catch these finals, have a look in our library as we have the VOD of this great game already available. (I'm sure remaining vods for other games will follow as soon as the streaming teams during the 4 days of ESWC are done processing them.)

ESWC next week!

Lashknife — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:17:25 +0000

The Electronic Sports World Cup finally knows its last qualified players as Garpy secured the spot on the UK lan qualifications and ferus won the Swedish online qualifier.

This means that Disneyland Paris will see 20 players compete with each other in the ESWC Grand Final 2010.

Cypher, Dahang, k1llsen, Stermy, Noctis, Sl1p, dem0n, Rapha, Spart1e, av3k, Strenx, l1nkje, Bodzo, Cooller, evil, Careem, Fazz, madix, GaRpY and ferus.

What a list! This surely means a load of battles to be played according to the following schedule:

Thursday, July 1st: Group Stage 1
Saturday, July 3th: Group Stage 2 and Playoffs
Sunday, July 3rd: Final at 15:00 CET

The system consists of 4 groups with each 5 players (stage 1), of which the top 2 proceed in 2 groups of 4 (stage 2) and to be concluded in a 4 player, single elimination bracket.

Map pool consists of the usual: qzdm6, qzdm13, qztourney7, qztourney9 and ztntourney1

And all that for a nice prize stash of $ 8000 for the gold, $ 4000 for the silver and $ 2000 for the bronze! Impressive!

av3k, the champ of Dreamhack Summer 2010

Lashknife — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 08:03:51 +0000

Dreamhack Summer 2010 has come to an end, only to see it's current champion, av3k, confirm his title half a year later.

3 BYOC spots had to be filled during the on-site event qualifier to join the main Kaspersky QL Duel tournament.

These 3 spots were filled by madix, JiePie and Stylezz, who came out as the top 3 of the BYOC tournament.

15 players then faced off with each other in the main event: the Kaspersky Quake Live duel tournament with a very nice prize stash. I say 15 players as Cooller apparently had issues to sort out a travel visa and could not make it.

The results of our poll predicted that Cypher was the favorite, followed up by Cooller (but not present) and av3k, so the public opinion was indeed correct to say that Cypher and av3k were rightly in their spot in the finals:

1st place: av3k - 30000 SEK ~ 3150 EUR
2nd place: Cypher - 15000 SEK ~1575 EUR
3rd place: strenx - 5000 SEK ~ 525 EUR

Congratulations to the top 3 and may we see another great Dreamhack event soon!

Quad Gaming CTF Tournament

Lashknife — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 10:31:08 +0000

Quad Gaming, a North American oriented gaming organization, will host two Capture The Flag tournaments, one for the NA region and one for the EU zone! After that, they announce to host actual division-based leagues, so that's great news.

The NA tournament will be held on June 18th until the 21st but what interests us more is the European counterpart that is happening on the weekend of 25th to 27th of June!

Format is a Double Elimination system with Best-of-3 matches, using the classic map pool: qzctf2, qzctf3, qzctf7, qzctf8 and qzctf10. (Format can change depending on number of signups, but QuadGaming aims for 16 slots regarding the NA, and 32 slots for the EU)

An awesome prize payout of $1000 for each tournament is as follows:

Gold: $500 (this NA team also wins an arranged trip to QuakeCon)
Silver: $300
Bronze: $200

Impressive! I just hope they can get the signups needed as the NA tournament is already for next weekend, pretty soon. Good luck to all participants!
