QuakeCon 2014 - QL Tournaments
:P
The same system was used last year and worked fairly well as it allows for interesting matches to be seen from the start of the tournament instead of waiting hours for top players to meet each other.
Having all the lower tier players face each other in before facing any of the top tier in elimination is like warming up on an F|A jaymod server and then expecting to be on a level play well vs idle.ee.
More direct ET comparison would be warming up for an ET 1v1 cup vs me when your first knock out round game is vs mAus!
I guess they would really get more from it overall if they got to play more matches vs the top tier opponents. Then again the top tier players don't get much from bashing lower players either!
Depending on server location, a 1on1 vs you could be rather interesting!
and Cypher for the win I hope :<
The game itself transitioned from in-browser to standalone back in December and has undergone several updates since then, including the most recent changes which made a couple premium-only features available for regular users. More QL news is expected to be announced over the next few days at QuakeCon.
It actually makes me kinda sad that there isn't more support from the ET community when I see how well it works for Quake. :(
lol at random cups running wohoo!
Think this says alot.
Also u honestly thinking that ql is alive is hilarious.. Yeah there is some shitty cups running every now and then with the same 20 players pool being there past 5 years for a easy money
Ps. twitch.tv has 60 viewers live on quakelive
Pss. Will be funny to see if Quakecon ql final gets even 5k viewers
Psss. Every FPS game apart from CS:GO is dead and done, thats just a fact.
Are u serious? Past 2-3 years u've been lucky if u get a proper opponent to prac before official game, thats how active it has been. I could say its been dead since 2010 more or less ( turned into mix teams only pretty much )
But these things don't change the fact that neither ET nor QL are dead. It is literally inaccurate to call a game dead when there is still an active community, and really it only shows ignorance and laziness on your part to throw the word around like that. A game doesn't need tens of thousands of viewers on stream every day with hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizemoney to be "alive".
It's not a fact and is actually quite a dumb thing to say. By the same logic, every game except League of Legends is dead.
"CSGO only has 200k players? Ha, there are millions of LoL players! CSGO is sooo dead."
Just because a game is no longer at its peak does not mean it's dead. Just because a game doesn't have tens of thousands of viewers with hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizemoney does not mean it's dead. Just because you no longer play a game does not mean it's dead.
I dont even know what the fuck we argue about here anymore, ur only person on this site that thinks ET isnt DEATH
Next u gonna tell me that et:qw and Wolfenstein are alive and active too huh?
Love the game and the excitement though, I'd just rather watch than play.
I believe a common misconception is that one must choose between being a player/viewer or an admin/contributor - that it's not possible to run cups or contribute to the community and still actively play the game. This is easily proven wrong by taking a look at how many active QL players are also admins, casters, newswriters, etc. ET is still active enough for shit like this to be worthwhile, just need more people willing to do it and more acceptance and appreciation from the community for those who do step up and contribute.
I think that goes for a lot of guys, both in ET and Quakelive. You get older, you still like gaming but you are not as compelled and fanatic about it as before Your priorities change and you start to actually become more of a casual player. You'd expect a younger generation to take over and for some games, that happens. Some games have a constant influx of new and younger players. I don't think Enemy Territory and Quakelive are games that appeal to the masses so much that they still constantly get new players. Maybe Quakelive more than Enemy Territory.
It's a shame really, games like these built esports, but they don't seem to always appeal that much to a younger generation.
Yes. In quakelive though most of the top pros have 5-10 years behind them, easy to continue playing casual and still be succesful with no new top tier players coming in. Not that new players could even make it to the top level anymore anyway, plenty have tried but it isnt easy to catch all those years others have put in
Joined fntic 09-10 so safe to assume there is couple years before that
The game is not streamlined enough to attract new players I guess. Heck, I just tried playing today and my PC was getting 40fps. It's not the best PC, but I can run most new games fine.
I do like their changed landmine animation though (Bouncing Betty land mines or something).
QLive still alive?
