ESL announces Intel Extreme Masters Season 4 – QL plays supporting role

roy_chez — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:54:16 +0000

ESL has announced its fourth season of the Intel Extreme Masters. Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft will receive the main attention and will have 500.000$ spread over six events, spread over the year. The opening will be at GamesCom at August 19-23.

At the same event, Quake Live will have some sort of side event, called the QuakeLive Intel Extreme Masters Pro/Am Challenge. People from the crowd can participate this and the winner will take home 1.000$.

“I know the game, I value the game… we are working very hard to make the season happen with QuakeLive”, Michal “carmac” Blicharz explained. “The fact that I just want it in does not instantly get it in, but I am doing everything in my power to make sure it is.”

I am personally quite disappointed and hoped for a bigger part for Quake Live. Unfortunately this is not true, but let’s hope for more ESL events to come!

Spart1e wins ClanBase Duel Cup

roy_chez — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:56:42 +0000

This evening Sebastian “Spart1e” Siira from Sweden faced SK Gaming’s Bogdan “bodzo” Mazur in the Grand Final of ClanBase’s Duel Cup. Both players are considered as top players within the scene and a exciting final was expected.

The first map, however, did not prove to be that exciting. dm13 was taken by Spart1e with 9-1 and bodzo looked to be without a chance. But the Polish player didn’t drop his pants and started to pick up his game on map two, ztn. The Pole started off strong taking a 6-2 lead. Then Spart1e came back. He gained control and tied it up to 6-6 and it staid like that until the very first seconds of the overtime. Spart1e took the 7-6 and won map number two.

As the Grand Final was BO5, a third map had to be played, tourney7. Again, the Swede was too strong and won t7 with 7-4 and took home the gold.
