House of Quake has started, Derfel wanted to catch up with some teams, how the players prepared and see there chances in HOQ 4v4 QLCTF division 1. With luck and time we will see mini reviews at the end of each match period too.
dem0n (DP): Our lineup should be: makie, many, visser, naity, vertex, dem0n. We'll probably only turn out for our official matches and win every single one of them.
Paine (GRAND): Siberia is the most boring map in the pool for sure: it's just tdm and it's even worse in 4v4 imo. My favourite map is japanese castles. Even though it's kinda old it's still awesome and perfectly made for ctf action. In general I like the current mappool with maps like stonekeep etc. so I cant complain about any other map then siberia :)
drugs & porn vs bloodface (Match Period 1 Jan 7th - Jan 20th: exact date tbc)
This is the first meeting between two of the teams cited by many as being favourites for the championship. The winner will start the season with a nice confidence boost while the loser could spend the rest of the season playing catch-up. It's also possible they might split the points and give infused and broken a chance to pull ahead (they both have what might be considered easier games in Match Period 1) so I hope both teams will be pressing hard for the win here. I'd give the edge here to bloodface as they are perhaps more comfortable in 4v4 than DP (at least they like it a lot more). As you can see from the interviews above bloodface are definitely the more active group of players too so the scales are tipped in their favour there. When there is a date set we will of course try and get stream covering it!
Ye, wouldn't hurt with a plain calender where people could add when they have dates for their games. There was once a similar one for qw where you could checkup upcoming games but the page doesn't excist anymore so couldn't link it there :(
Would only need like possibilities to add: Time, who vs who, event, streams. Shouldn't take too long to create one for a guy who has the skills. Would probably take more time to contact streamers and similar guys to add up if they know when they will have possibilites (even if esr has quite many added right away). When it would start rolling and people would add for a couple of weeks this should by all logic start working without any effort after that.
Big thx to Derfel for the interviews and coverage.
Looking forward to a good season!
