Interview with Luke "LukeLawlz" Hanlon (60 comments)
Posted by zauron @ 03:23 BST, 14 June 2012 - iMsg
This interview will feature a rather unfamiliar face to many of you, unless you're well aware of all the latest happenings revolving around the Quake scene. Literally a no-one until a few weeks ago, the Irish's name firstly resonated when the qualifiers of the Dreamhack Summer 2012 got revealed. Nobody expected his name to be featured, including the young talent himself. Luke “Lukelawlz” Hanlon will make his first appearance at a major gaming event this weekend being only 16 years old, making the teen one of the first juveniles to ever compete at this stage. Luke was kind enough to catch up with us for a quick interview, right before leaving for Sweden.

It's been a long road, but you're finally living every gamer's dream; you're about to head off to Sweden to compete in one of the world's largest e-sports tournaments. How are you feeling?

I feel excited, to say the least. I've watched many streams of QL tournaments over the years and it always seemed like it would be fun to be playing there. I'm looking forward to travelling there and meeting everybody I've played against over the past few years.

Level Up TV is proud to announce we will once again be covering the Quake Live Tournament from DreamHack Summer 2012. To explain all about it I (United Kingdom Disrepute) sat down with United Kingdom Zoot for a quick chat.

Enough! Do you ever stop talking! Lets get onto DreamHack already! What are you most looking forward to?

Everything, even the technical issues. No, but really.. I want to see why it is known to be the largest LAN event in the world – I want to meet all the people I’ve been streaming and I want to laugh at Insan3 when he loses all his games :D

Posted by WinFakt @ 21:17 BST, 11 June 2012 - iMsg
Only a few days left to Sweden Dreamhack Summer 2012!

Europe Team WinFakt! is very excited to see the world's best gamers competing once more.
Also we are proud to announce that besides our professional CS 1.6 team, Quake Live's famous
Sweden Sebastian 'WinFakt.Spart1e' Siira will be attending this week to compete in the 32 player Quake Live duel tournament.
Spart1e's list of achievements is as impressive as his gameplay.

His latest title is the glorious first place on the "GD Studio The Arena #2" where he was able to defeat world class players such as Sweden toxjq and Poland Av3k.
In the group stages of this year's Dreamhack Summer, Spart1e will face Netherlands Draven, Spain Sl1p and Sweden ani, which will surely be amazing matches to watch. We wish all the WinFakt members and contestants good luck on the world's largest LAN.

Spart1e:
"I am really looking forward to another QL Tournament at Dreamhack. Even though I haven't been very active lately, I think Cypher and rapha will have to play their A game to beat me. I wanna thank WinFakt, and their sponsors ( Steelseries, xHarbour, YCN Hosting) for making it possible for me to compete at Dreamhack."

Team WinFakt!

DreamHack Summer: Quake Live Groups! (304 comments)
Posted by blaze @ 22:46 BST, 3 June 2012 - iMsg
After the show yesterday with The GD Studio hosted by United Kingdom 2GD and Belgium Trance we got to know the groups for this years perhaps best Quake Live duel tournament!

Unfortunately Russia Cooller decided to drop out just minutes before the show was about to air. But a substitute was found very quickly, the moviemaker and cpm player Hungary mccormic.

Our great admin Sweden slayzah and United Kingdom zoot took the matter in own hands and remade the seeds, to prevent any further mistakes (like redoing the groups). Sorry for the confusion during the show, but it was all for the best of the tournament. The new seeds can be found below:



Is there a group of death? Is any group more interesting then another? Please leave a comment below with your input!

Seeds for Dreamhack Summer 2012 (280 comments)
Posted by blaze @ 23:24 BST, 1 June 2012 - iMsg
Unfortunately we did have a few unexpected drop outs from the tournament. As many of you have heard Italy Stermy will not be able to attend since he's attending to the ShootMania LAN in France. Neither can Spain p0ni, Estonia cnz, Finland Kaide or Finland gerppa but because of other reasons.

As replacements we've found a bunch of Swedish players: Sweden pitch, Sweden mdf and Sweden ani. We also invited Ukraine Hipnotic. There's still one spot open in the tournament, all the replacements we've currently asked no one of them was able to go. So if you're still interested in going contact us either through mail ([email protected]) or mIRC #Dreamhack.Quake (message blaze or slayzah) on QuakeNet as soon as possible.
But without further delay; here are the seeds and the current player list for the tournament!


Update: Hopefully we'll find a replacement in the next few days and can announce them then. Until then, stay tuned for the live show with The GD Studio tomorrow for the groups to be tossed. Last spot is now filled by Sweden Xeron. The GD Studio goes live at 18:00 CEST. remade.
