Goodbye VAE.Quakewars

by swine • 17 Sep 2008, 08:45 • News

Almost seven months ago VAE presented their first ET: Quakewars Squad. Back then, the competition scene was pretty good. We saw Teams like Dignitas, SPEED-LINK, Geh aB!, Logitech and many more organisations, who recruited ET:QW Squads. But since then, the scene was dieing more and more.
After a long talk with the VAE.QW players we decided to not put any more effort in that game. Since the 27th of January 2008 the Squad had 48 official wars.
In 34 of them they were able to take the victory, 11 times they were the losers and 3 times the match ended in a draw. They received eight awards in their time under the VAE tag:

08.09.08

Clanbase Summer Cup
01.09.08

Warleagues Season I
15.07.08

GameStar League
22.06.08

Clanbase EuroCup XVII
01.06.08

aToOn 1on1 Cup
04.05.08

ESL 6on6 Winters Cup
22.02.08

Warleagues Primary Chaos Cup
07.02.08

Bite the Bullet Night Cup

Europe

VAE.Quakewars was:

Tasleem 'valiant' Hussain
Brian 'Vexx' Stewart
Kieran 'Jeebs' Jary
Gavin 'madbone' Alderson
Martin 'Noorgrin' Blind
Michael 'MadKnut' Berndt
Thomas 'Bestik' Bestvina
Per 'cable' G.
James 'mindgame' Moorhouse

Small but elite community

Small but elite community

Parent

the amount of teams goes over the scale.

Parent

Kapoks Europe 13 / 37

nice :D

Parent

:D:D

Parent

31337

Parent

elite... 3/4 of those teams were low max a year ago (or even better - didn't exist)

Parent

I think mindgame was the best player in that lineup :p

:D thx but i was only there for like 1- 1+1/2 months :P

Parent

for me the game is dead for about a year when i left it

didnt know you played it

Parent

only until the end of beta + demo :D
didnt buy it

Parent

You missed so much since promod has come on the scene is a different game completely!

Parent

dunno
but i have been one of the best players at that time alrdy and it was boring

Parent

haha one of the best player nice ego!
if you were one of the best players why nobody remember you?

Parent

well he played for "cause we can" (later "ocrana") and what did u play for in those days ? :)

still i gotta agree that pumu has a big ego ;)

Parent

i didnt play in any good clan these times but still i didnt wrote that in my comment. i just wrote that now ppl dont remember him :) ppl more remember the inactive dignitas players + some individual skillorz

Parent

I remember him :p

Beta times <3

Parent

yeah no doubt about pumu being a little bit of a ego here, just wanted to point out he played for ocrana in the beta :)

Parent

i own

Parent

yeah, at least ur warning level does :D

Parent

internet inspector swine

Parent

Don't we rather want to remember how well this team performed after the release of the full game?

Parent

unexpected... what did u think, randomboy_XY replacing me would make the team better?
only remember the tanker sledge(?) also left and then they sucked, cuz we were like the best 2 of them but who cares
gaming < *
;:)

greetz ² ur bro! :D

Parent

Rubbing some salt into somebodys wounds was never harmful. :p

Parent

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Parent

Pub hero alert!

Parent

Being best at a game that isnt even out and no one plays it yet must be really hard

Parent

thanks mate, made my fucking day. had everyone at work loling

Parent

geek company?

Parent

ye geek company. hows your mega pro gaming going ?

Parent

"?"

Parent

beta demo? In my opion ETQW was buggy in beta demo ( bad hitboxes ) Only later patches 1.4 fixed that. And with promod alot less spread, ye you didnt try the game for real. If ppl would only judge on the demo of a game ET would have been a huge fail.

SD released the game too quick with too much bugs and only focused on public play. Just like ET was in the start, till ETPro came. Same with ETQW till Promod came it was shit now i like it. ET was saved because it was free.
But yea the bad start the bad beta/demo. And not right away competition mod killed the game mostly.

Parent

We saw Teams like Dignitas, SPEED-LINK, Geh aB!, Logitech and many more organisations, who recruited ET:QW Squads.

nice egoboost

and

KomaCrew !!!111 :D

Goodbye Quakewars

goodbye

deej

Parent

was about time

Well played. vexxeh <3

Quote by swineet is dead. lets play etqw

+1 but only on etqwpro

Parent

bibuy. liked them all.

wow, vae got gold in a one night cup, this news must be a very big disappointment for the etqw community and it's fans! sad :<

hater ! :D

Parent

tbh i dont rly care, we played vs them only once and it was a practice, i think new teams will come

Parent

Yea, the continuously growing ET:QW player base backs your hopes up, I guess.

Parent

ye, etqw have a lot of players, but most of them are pub nubs and playing only on vanilla instead promod and that sux, if there would be no ranking system game would be a big succes after promod, now its really good after promod, but ppl still prefer to play on vanilla with shit spread and radars etc.

Parent

bibuy

wasnt eyescream in the lineup or was he just a merc?

yes he was part of the team , he was their tanker , but the more inactive the game got , the more inactive eyescream got:P so he left and started playin games like Trackmania , audio surfer and dungeon siegge II

Parent

WP jimbo

Parent

Rock and Roll

Sad but unexpected, good luck to everyone who used to be in the team.

bibuyy

Didn't get the idea (the VAE web shows no news, lol!) why did they left the ETQW scene? Lack of motivation or lack of tournaments or lack of <random stuff here>? :o

Still kinda sad to see such nice team to leave the scene ... Hopefully the motivated and interested in the game players will reorganise and come up with a new team! :)

lack of motivation and competitions mainly...

Parent

ceterum censeo quakewars delendam esse

I see the gold

what are you going to do now noorgrin? ;)

atm i am giving CoD4 a try, mostly cause Baden-Württemberg

juICE forced me too tbh :D

and for the future i will just see what happens, i am open for everything, CoD5, Wolfenstein2 or whatever :)

Parent

come back to et ;)
and form a new team bw x)

Parent

Unlucky Jimbo

Parent

hehe

bye

Thanks to all who supported us during our time in ET:QW <3

For those wondering I've now moved into my new flat (still lots of unpacking, organising to do) and find myself playing Lord of The Rings Online in spare time under the alias 'Asian' xD

Parent

Evernight :)

Parent

=(

Laurelin here, the MP battles are the best on this server :P

Parent

Parent

Parent

in the words of Vinnie Jones in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels ...

"It's been emotional"

<3

Parent

Parent

bb etqw

r.i.p vae:qw <3

EDIT: ye i forgot, no hackers in etqw!

Parent

Why bother no clans left in etqw :)). Lets start Q3 there is 10 clans alive, etqw only 49 ... crap :P

Parent

he means dead compared to an online free game so riddled with players hacking that there is no trust.

etqw community must be jealous.

Parent

atleast we actually have people playing the game.

Parent

at what level though? EC ET level is just as dead as the ETQW scene is if not more.

Parent

n1ce joke

Parent

hardly a joke, the last EC was dire.

This one has much more potential though. :)

Parent

its not as glorious as it used to be, but still kickin, not to mention the playerbase is still huge even though the game is very old.

etqw is buried. ET still has years to go.

Parent

well i would say especially this EC is great, seeing teams (and players) like TLR,idle.ee etc returning.

imo this EC is better than the last 2 or 3, at least from the teams/playerbase it contains !

Parent

respect

Noorgrin, cum back to warsow, 0.5 is coming!
Or Quakelive, it's also good =)

ZO YEAH GL IN W/E YOU DO.
i think vialiant forgot to make an official statment ;)

lets go W:ET boyz! anyway respect for being good in strange game ;)

W:E... what?! I'm so happy I'm not playing this shit anymore :DDDD CSS is A LOT better (although I am ffa-only atm).

Parent

The end for ET:QW. Although it never was that active, i liked to play it.

About time you made that move.

YES.
ETQW is dead

MediaMarkt, 10€ but no thx :]

this is so horrible.

hahaha
how did you find that site? :D

Parent

I searched for "noorgrin gaysex" on google.

Parent

explains everything

Parent

back 2 ET :D

sad !- get a life

Bibuy, paw and kiss :-*
