COMPETITION REMINDER
Just a reminder to all participants that this competition is happening tomorrow. I've been happy and surprised at the number of sign-ups (so far at 31). Thank you to everyone for taking the time to sign-up.

Just an update to the format. Due to the number of sign-ups, we have had to make the early rounds a BO1 on a pre-determined map. This is to ensure the competition is completed within a reasonable time frame.

The Updated Format:
Round 1 and 2 of the Upper Bracket are a BO1 on the maps Blood Run (R1) and Furious Heights (R2)
Round 1, 2 and 3 of the Lower Bracket are a BO1 on the maps Furious Heights (R1), Lost World (R2) and Aerowalk (R3)
All normal rounds after that are a BO3 with the lower seed eliminating first
The final is a BO5 with the player from the winners bracket having the ability to knock-out any map for a 1 - 0 lead.

pshtt, ******* internet died when i had to play distruption and only now came back up.

recon i could have taken onfu imo he only just beat me on aero and furios pretty much came down last 2 mins on both maps
one of the best games ive played so far in quake

Firstly, thanks to everyone that signed up and played in the competition. I understand that it tires out a lot of people to play so many games as quickly as possible. A special thanks to zlr, ofnu, oktapus and diabz who probably played the most games out of everyone in the competition.

We had 25 people take part in the ODC with zlr beating ofnu in the final 3 -1. (zlr eliminated furious heights for a free win, zlr beat ofnu on aerowalk, ofnu beat zlr on toxicity and finally zlr beat ofnu on blood run in a close match)

A VOD of the grand final, lower bracket final and other matches is available at http://www.twitch.tv/cgquaketv

This was my first time running an event for Quake Live and I learnt a lot and had some fun doing it. The atmosphere created by the QL community was awesome to be apart of. From the discussion on IRC to the spectators of all the finals matches. Everyone was pumped to watch the games and understand why these players make the choices they do. You just don't see any such discussion in any other FPS game today.

On another note, Mattzarini has expressed interest in making a short movie of the ODC. So if you want to show off that good game you played or some awesome frags then check out the thread at CG to get information on the format to submit your demo. See: http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/303493/Mattzarini-ODC-Demo-Call/

Thanks as well to everyone else that helped in some form with the competition. Haymo and Bilbin for helping with everything, Burnz for streaming, creshor for spawning some servers and zlr/shadow for double checking the seeding. Apologies if I missed anyone else.

If you haven't already then check out the CG Duel ladder @ http://www.cybergamer.com.au/pc/ql/ladder/

I can't wait to be involved with more events in the future.

Thanks again everyone.
