First, what is the IDL? The IDL stands for the
International Doom League which uses
ZDaemon for competitive Doom 2 CTF. The league uses a draft format modeled somewhat after the NFL. It is primarily an American based league but does have a few people from Europe playing who have managed to make a good showing. The IDL is entering it's 9th season and hoping to expand from 8 teams to 12 teams. Signups end Nov. 26th and you can sign up
on the internet. If you want to hang out with us drop by #idl on irc.quakenet.org. The IDL community plays private CTF and we'll be sure to invite you too! If you want to see what the IDL is all about check out this
envenomated video featuring Mikehail one of the league's hottest flag runners.
Bored and want to try something new? ZDaemon CTF is quite easy to pick up, especially for veterans of Quake. Movement is easy to learn (but not master) and the main weapon is SSG which is quite easy to use. We feature a small community of players who have stuck around for years. If you like a small tight community you should be impressed with the IDL. If you want more indepth ZDaemon and Doom information check out my previous ZDaemon guide I posted on ESReality.
