Despite the fact that DreamHack’s QW tournament was about to get canceled, it is very much happening right now. The tournament managed to attract staggering 16 competitors, which seems to be enough to please the organizers of this event. In the field of these 16 competitors we have some of the top names of QuakeWorld scene including the reigning champion, ParadokS.

Along with him there’s few familiar faces from the previous Dremhack tournament such as Bps, LocKtar, Nabbe, Riker and Inferno. With this lineup of players it seems like ParadokS might have good chances of getting some more loan from the Dreamhack. However in the mix of familiar faces, we also have one Dreamhack virgin who is no stranger to high level of QuakeWorld and that’s razor. Let’s see if he will be able to spice things up. Read more to see the groups and first games to bet on.

Lasts years QuakeWorld tournament at DreamHack was a success for both our beloved scene and the ‘cs’ crowd spectating our lovely old game. So far so good. This year we get enough interest to host another one, wow! What a joyride.

Here is where the fun stops and where the usual problems with getting lazy quakers from their ass, and getting them to actually do something, arise. Argh.

QW and Q2 will be canceled unless more players sign up!

While one season is coming to it’s end we have a new competition starting already with EQL7 kicking off any day now!

Despite the regular whine from clans that claim to be misplaced NQR11 turned out to be a great success. First congratulations go to the Viper Squad who were favorites from day one and lived up to that role without any trouble. After some controversy early in the season the Russian team 3B managed to take home the Silver cup having a strong team with the, mainly from dueling, reasonably well known guys XN, Bulat and Delitel with Bublik as fourth. They earned themselves a place in division one for EQL7 this summer and I’m looking forward to see if they can cause any upsets.

Bps caught up with one of today’s NQR Gold finalists, blAze for a short interview. The questions are obviously about the tonight’s final match, KOFF, NQR and EQL. Without further ado read this and hopefully you will get yourself even more bumped up for the game of the season.

Hello blAze! How do you feel today?

Hello. All good, just waiting to play the final at last. :)

Nice, yes tonight is a special night - it’s the Gold Cup Final versus the KOFF! How does this make you feel? Sitting at work, playing through dm3 in your head? Are you nervous, anxious?

Was too busy with work to give it a much thought yet. I’m quite comfortable about the game, I guess we could have pracced a little bit more, but even the stats are on our side. I’m not sure if we have ever lost an official game to KOFF.
