:D
its the only 2 players where i know the nationality :f

was about to say im in until i saw the maps. i dont know what maps are usually played in a ffa but imho Chemical Reaction, Dredwerkz, Demon Keep are a joke

i mean come on, two of those maps hava e bfg and all have been played to death...

all non-premium maps i guess? :d

ahh okay that might be part of the problem, boring...

edit: 11 players out of 33 dont have prem/pro, screw them tbh ;)

well this is what happens when the organizer doesn't have premium himself. :P

im not the organiser, i just made the news post :d

Can't they just get one person with pro to spawn a server as well as invite everyone?

Yea... maps are bad ;/ But lets try...

should have put on a poll, I don't think anyone really likes chemical reaction and dredwerkz.

could be worse...i thought demon keep was hell's gate =) would be full of tactical suicides =f

i would have preferred something like: trinity, retribution & hidden fortress (retribution & dm20 arent premium maps are they?)

fuck dm6

None of the maps you listed are premium, all of them are better than the current map pool though.

Tony, bringing back the FFA scene.

Was me TBH.

Much more importantly, I was the original Tony fan.

http://www.esreality.com/index.php?a=post&id=2059416

I though you were the guy that brought back:
Thinking having ~ 9k in cash was cool, and a lot of money.

I might be mistaken.

All games are played on German servers

sadpanda :( ping 95 there. fucking isp fucked up my routing.

is it impossible to play on nl?

95 is too much. I changed the server to nl. I don't think that anybody will whine, since you clearly can't play in de.

u r welcome

Are you mocking me, mate? Or is it in your powers to change that? If last, than thanks in advance :) If first, fuuu in advance :D

lol

You couldnt pick worst maps?

If non prem maps then should be picked Campgrounds, Trinity and Almostlost at 1st place.

or dm7 if you are sexay

DM6 , DM14 and almost lost

DM6 is a MUST. Dya'll forget which map Tony won at UGC? Yes, D M fucking 6!

you gotta reach the finals to have the right to play dm6 :P

Hmm, there have been a lot of FFA tournaments lately. I blame the "tony effect", not that its a bad thing.

im in, lol. ffa is awesome. go dird!

You made yourself, legendary! :D

fazz mentioned but not me?! wtf

youre in [R] or something? i dont know you =P

check my cool interview from a few weeks ago!

ninjalegend

i wanna see visje, yakumo and TONY.

... maps idc, cuz idk what are most played FFA maps anyway.

... and further more ... for the love of god!! ... make more ffa competitions, because ffa is the next best gamemode for spectating after duel.

... and please arrange a stream with casters (preferably some1 who understands how FFA is played)

Maps are terrible.

Should be:

DM6
DM7
DM17
ZTN (not ffa map, but still better than most)

agreed. dm6/dm7/dm20/dm14, dunno about dm17 tho, don't want fatal1ty to win it all so ez.

This should be on .NL or on vote by players participating in each round.

.DE is awful.

also lol BFG :/

as i spoke above, yes, why ONLY .de? :X

.de is good for most. italy pings better to .de than .nl; same with others i guess

There are no .it servers?

dunno but theyre probably shit to others. they seem ok in ut2k4 from the uk anyways

fuck those maps!

dreadwerkz?! srs?!

dm14 is awesome
even trinity is alot better.

dm14 dm7 dm6 trinity

new maps ffs

ca2, dm20 and whatever

From my phone so i will keep this short...there is no limit on signups. Current brackets are a sample. If tournament is a success we will organize more. Maps may change, but those 3 are in my eyes true ffa maps. But i was under the impression that pros could disable bfg.

Trinity
Quarantine
Campgrounds
Space Chamber
Grim Dungeon

dm14 is shit for ffa
%space% = shit

lol maps
lol ffa

Almost Lost
Hidden Fortress
Retribution

Have fun kids.

hi guys
this is our first FFa tournament
we will make weekly tourmanets with prizes (this time theres is a intellimouse 3.0 for the first place!!11!!!!1eleven) like zotac etc
we waiting for a new website with a section for players and auto arrange tournaments
hope u have fun
www.ffa-clan.com

You should really implement some sort of checkin. Usually like 40-50% of people who sign up for cups don't actually play.

Yes, will try to realize that in time

Rooting to germany is pretty fucked, but i would probably play if the maps got changed.. There are others non prem FFA maps wich are way more playable than those. For a nice first FFA tourney, put nice FFA maps.

Just make a rule which doesn't allow use of BFG. No need to throw out decent maps because of a crap weapon.

think a prize should go to any player that can actually withstand playing this much ffa in one day :o)

on a side note, GO STE!

applied to gief free kills!

I agree, even though the maps listed are great fun for casual play they seem unfit for competitive FFA. dm12 and dm15 have the BFG as mentioned earlier, and dm11 is way too basic and horizantal, not to mention the turkey camping spot.

There definitely should be some premium maps in the rotation. For a 6-map pool this is what I would`ve went for (I have others though), half standard and half premium:

Devilish
Hidden Fortress
Leviathan
Quarantine
Tornado
Trinity

this is fun, not competitive.

take your competitive shit to DH

nice to see the pros preparing for those 1000 euro FFA @ DH haha

cant play that at dreamhack anyway :/

ah right, you ladies leave early :/

fazz will stay a day longer afaik

no ffa and no 1v1, :(

Dird has this in the bag

dird who?

esr star, likes asian lady(boy)s asd

From UT2004 CTF and BR.

when was i from BR? xD

see his ql profile, he rocks

Where is the betting fixture? :))

Would be awesome if we could vote for players that we expect to win each map.

Updates!

Elimination map order changed.

Round 1: DM15 (Demon Keep)
Round 2: T3 (Hell's Gate)
Round 3: DM20 (Hidden Fortress)

One real FFA map to start with. Followed by a crazy small map that should deliver a lot of fun. In the third round a map that's commonly known among FFA'ers, CA'ers and TDM'ers.

Brackets: http://www.ffa-clan.com/ffa/brackets.php

I will try to create a sign in function now, which would clear the brackets and build it up as people sign in before the tournament.

page lookin better =)

nice work

Hell's Gate and ~10 players on the map is a fucking mess :}

Maps are looking better :)

Hells gate isnt t3? Maybe in q3

100 quakers signed up

2.4 In each game, those that finished around top 5 will move on to the next round. The exact amount of players that can qualify for the next round is determined by the amount of sign-ups.

I rarely play ffa, but what happens if players 5 - 6 - 7 all have the same frags? Does it determine whose 5th or 6th by the damage they gave or the least damage they took?

kdr i would guess

"The QL scoreboard is used to determine the final ranking of a game. If 4 players can qualify and you finished 5th while you have the same score as the 4th, then you are eliminated (and unlucky)."

would be pretty harsh to lose by nickname : D

cooller would have a huge advantage there

av3k?;)

ups :(

KDR would be better. Infinitely.

doubt Yakumo will add up, he has too much respect for being a noob basher on ffa servers. =)

Ql scoreboard use the net for frags and deaths

I signed up

fazz, noctis or demon will win this
all the self-called ffa pros will be frustrated :D

I bet you mean the members of the -FFA- clan with your "ffa pros" :)

I can tell you that noone of us seriously ever thought about winning this tournament, so there wont be any frustration ;)

This was organized to have some fun! I for myself am looking forward to this tourney, although I almost only play BRINK now, but I hope we can spectate some nice matches from the real pros.
Hope someone decides to cast it, would love to watch the final with commentators in stream :P

Edit: Oh, ok. Well, If Tony signed up, he would win for sure, of course!!! ;)

edited for plus whoring.

*shrugs... [+]es...

surprisingly huge amount of participants, that's cool :)

disrepute start casting after you're out first round D:

Im not signed Up coz im at beach atm ,i dunno if i come back for the tournament sunday.

I wonder if starting > 10 servers in Frankfurt at the same time would be problematic.. ?

Any streams ?

Anyone streaming this? Someone do it pleaseeeeeeee! :)

not gonna make it

FU

GOGOGO, check in started!

Log in on the FFA tournament site, read text, confirm and check in.

I know there's at least 5 people able to stream this, so do it!

stream on www.bloodywarriors.com

Prepare your beer and get ready to drink! ;)

Thanks for switching to English, it made it much more watchable.

You´re welcome!

thx a lot :)

gave my best

LMAO @ Dird

Holy shit!

K1llsen is a fucking beast!

If you're talking about game stats you might as well show the ql match statistics (not your standard screen). Also too much k1llsen. :@

Deutsche beteiligung junge!

inb4 dimitri reaches tony's level of fame
you heard it here first

needs better trashtalk

Ehe dimitri is my friend

VODS: www.derquaker.com/vods

I thought dem0n got 5th place in the first FFA match. How did he go through?

he got 5th in round 2...top 5 go through
1st in round 1

lmao @ dm17

k1llsen's dm17 stats: 42 railgun kills out of 50, 37 impressives, 70% accuracy for rg.

AHHAHAHA

exactly my reaction when i saw this :D

a little bit lame tbh :p

Hey, when you play to win you do what works. The opponents' fault for not stopping him. :p

Sorry for my bad english... next time i am back in german :)

I enjoyed your English casting. Should do it more often

next time i am back in german

http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/

i am not sure if u are serioues.. in my eyes the cast yesterday was terrible..

one does not rule the other out

:)

^^

It´s FFA! The funmode of QuakeLive! After dozens of serious competitions casted, I vote that Sunday is FFA-booze-day :D

UwU winner of hearts

I rooted for you uwu!!

Ffa>all

Aha that kraut caster sounds like every German ever "ja and he's taken ze lead, killalot kilszalot, ja"

sorry for that but i am never casting in english.. just did it because there was no other stream up

Heh you should do more it was nothing short of brilliant, was like Henning Wehn casting Quake :O)

Henning Wehn? This guy?

Are you killsen's brother or something? Your voice - or the voice of the other guy casting with you - sounded identical to his.

First was moppz, then me (for the first part and ending), then in and between was hopping in k1llsen himself, then some other bloodywarriors members... moppz knows better

yeah we had a lot of guys in teamspeak yesterday.. i was there, zerious, shi2o with some laughin in the background. k1llsen was in teamspeak between the game breaks.. and then we had batou on the server for the last games.. :)

and i am not k1llsen brother ^^

level up tv vods are here: www.justin.tv/leveluptv/videos

moppz in english = epic

you are epic.. everything else is nothing.

can't get the vods running in chrome for some reason
edit: derquaker vods that is

If u click play and noting happens, try clicking the progress bar.

no, click it harder!

so dont use chrome :d i assume you still have a version of IE/opera/firefox on your pc

ps: after the finals...second round = best

actually I don't since I'd have to install flash etc.. ;)

you some apple fag?

Dont mess up with the BW Clanleader aka Mac FTW!
Vod on my macs in Chrome.. no problem!

next tournament maps will be chosen by k1llsen:
dm17, dm17, dm17, dm17,dm17, dm17, dm17.

easy.

Great casting on the lvlup vods, UwU and pops really showing what they are made of as well! wp

The tournament exceeded my expectations: 109 players, fantastic

We discovered some things we did wrong or could do better, but overall i think it went pretty smooth considering the website was merely a week old, and the chaos that comes with having 100+ players all having to play at the same time in > 10 different games.

Props to Fi for an amazing adminning job. Also complimenting Id, afaik all games were played in Germany! Final thanks to the streamers: bloodwarriors and lvl^, (: happy :)

The sign ups for next weeks event are open. K1llsen won so he got to pick all 7 maps for FFA Tournament #2, but he decided to let Tony pick them out. So the current DM17 x7 is just to lure k1llsen back in, and will change soon.

Some things will change:
- tournament starts @ 20.00, first game starts through /allready on 20.15
- the next tournament is played in FRANCE, not in Germany
- more relevant information will be displayed on the website
- the rules will be made more specific about who goes through in case of equal scores

To all that played: thanks very much and hopefully until next Sunday.

I will attempt to make an announcement on esr once the mapchoices are known.

- the next tournament is played in FRANCE, not in Germany

you don't want people to sign up? :( 80 ms to france, fuk dat.

gg france : ( maybe next time then!

let us engage in intercourse on the evening of May 29

Really enjoyed it, great job!

Good idea to change server location. I was kinda frustrated in round 2, when I had ping 95 and others had less then 45 :X

maybe use nl instead of fr? That way you dont limit it more to western europe only. UT servers are pretty much always .nl / .de since they provide the most balance

also get some of the top ffa players to play, instead of all of them pussying out.

I want to see, stetsamo, tendoukan, yakumo, you (visje) etc... vs the likes of killsen and fazz. Makes it much more interesting.

I am very eager to play, but i have to make this tournament running well first. Hopefully i can play #3.

I played

I don't think France is a great choice (common routing issues even with close neighbours like Germany or the Netherlands)... but meh.
Probs won't even be there to lose the first round with 15 ms anyway so good luck with the cup!

Please upload demos!!!

just out of interest, where do the 100€ come from?

From me
