      SavageUK Q2CTF | s11-CUP Part 1 this Sunday.

Season 11 Cup - by Rico @ SavageUK
The Season 11 Cup will take place on Sunday October 29th and Sunday November 5th. The Cup will follow the now traditional groups-then-knockout format to ensure that every clan gets a reasonable number of games. More at: SavageUK|Q2CTF

Previous Cup...
The previous cup (s10-Cup) was won by BBC (BigBastardClan) they defeated raGe in the final, third place went jointly to HC and LE... BBC actually did 'the double' because they also managed to win the regular league season (season10).

Top Ten Reasons Quake 2 Rocks | Q2CTF came in number two
- by Kerbuffel @ captured.com

PlanetQuake has put up a 'Top Ten Reasons Quake 2 Rocks'.
Q2CTF came in number two but only because number one revolutionized gaming as we know it... the Railgun.

Quake 2 was one of the best Quakes, and most hardcore Q2CTF players will agree that this Quake 3 thing is just a fad.

Anyway, the top ten is pretty l33t: [PQ Top10].

Like I did [Last Week] in a quick 'status-report' here at CTF Observer, Oma at the Clanbase Q2CTF Cup did a more detailed overview of the Cup so far...

Q2CTF Cup overview... - by Oma @ ClanBase
Since the playoffs are near it is time for an overview on the current status of the Q2CTF Cup. Which clans are likely to participate in the playoffs? Which clans might be promoted? Who will fear degradation?

        Quake Nation | nEo Ranger interview...

QuakeNation has a interview with Ranger of clan nEo, a Q3 DM & CTF clan...

New European order (nEo) was founded in July 1999 back in the days of Q3test by Ranger & Blackhawk (UK) and Paranoid (NL.) Not only was nEo their first clan, but Quake 3 was also their first online FPS. Since then nEo has grown to a 16-strong team of both new and more experienced players from the UK, Holland and Germany, and has earned a reputation as a strong TDM clan, and one of Europe's premier CTF clans.

Interview with nEo Ranger - by Athena @ quakenation.com
Ranger from Clan nEo, one of the most successful clans on the European CTF and Deathmatch League circuit, speaks to QN about the clans beginnings, success and the recent controversy in the Savage League. | Read the interview [here]

Poll on proxy-items... - by Oma @ ClanBase
There have always been lots of discussions on various proxies and lately in q2ctf about the KfK timer. Some of you have asked a poll to ban this timer, but since it has lots of possibilities you can't just say that since it has some questionable options you can ban it entirely...

      BarrysWorld BWQ3L-CTF Season 3

Week 10 - by BigFoot @ BWQ3L-CTF

Most of the divisions concluded last sunday/monday, there are a few outstanding games which will decide some promotion issues and the winners of the Division 1 title which take place next week but most of the honours were decided last sunday/monday. So here's the current roll-call of winners:

     
Division 1
Division 2
Division 3A
Division 3B
Division 4A
Division 4B
...
Z
IQS
BnL
SF
ABC
 
(Omega The End)
(International Quake Squad)
(Blast no Limit)
(Supreme Fraggers)
(Absolute Beginners Clan)


Next Week... Who will win the Division-1 title ?
CN look set to retain their hold on the Division 1 title after defeating nEo meaning that they only need 2 points from their final game. A special mention for POTZW too, who only lost out on the Division3B title due to cap difference.

  demos:
You can find demos of some of the leagues games on the BarrysWorld FTP:

[FTP Season3] is where to point your browsers/ftp clients. Each week more demos will be added, so its worth checking back regularly.

-----[ BWQ3L-CTF ]-----




There is a change to the prize on offer for Division1 this season. The winning clan will now be able to choose from the current prize (vouchers + bw stuff), or a dedicated port on one of our rentable clan servers which will be coming online soon + bw stuff.

  CL/CLL ChampionsLeague

Q2CTF : BBQ vs [T] - by nikodemus @ ballbraquers.com
Yeah, we had a real fight for a change tonight (sunday) instead of those usual pretty large victories. And it was fun, I tell ya! Trespassers had challenged us CL's #1 place in mind, and they sure did put up a fight. We'll try to get a longer report to the battles section, but here's a short story:

CTF2 ended 7-2 to us, their CTF3 3-1.. which makes the total score 10-3. Nice game indeed, go ahead and download some demos too. (I've heard Malle's demo sucks, so don't download that, but Ele's instead ;) BBQ-Site

CL/CLL Q2CTF... The System:  
The first ladder season (CLL) will come to an end in December 2000. The teams ranked within the top ten will then continue on to fight in the ChampionsLeague (CL), a playoff based system... champions will be the clan that manages to win the final.

little site redesign - by Ebola @ ctf observer

As you can see I changed the design of the site a tiny little bit. :)
Why ?
Well because CTF Observer moved to a new location I felt I had to redesign the site a little bit :) ... So I did.

Icelandic Iceland Skjalfti 4 | 2000 Iceland Tournament

Skjalfti 4 | ICE wins Q3CTF Tournament again... - by Ebola @ ctf observer

I've added clan ICE to the * Hall of Fame * !

ICE won the Icelandic Skjalfti4|2000 Q3CTF Tournament by defeating HUX in the final !
Congratulations ICE ! :) | You can find the Hall of Fame * Here * |

- Q3CTF Double Elimination [Scheme]
- Q3CTF demos can be found here: [skjalfti4|q3ctf|demos]

This was one hell of a tournament ! - by [k]omEn
The biggest surprise this weekend imo, was when ICE took the CTF title. They recently lost few members and I think that there were only 2 out of 5 players in the original team from last skjalfti [i] ... Clan Hux took the second place, and fallen (I think) went third.



About...
Every year there are 4 Skjalfti tourneys held in Iceland in wich all the Icelandic clans come together and compete in Quake... Yesterday the fourth event in the Skjalfti series has been started, Iceland's quake elite will gather on LAN and play until Monday morning... Skjalfti4|2000 general info: [here] (english version)

      SavageUK Q2 3-Team-CTF

Close call - by LJ @ SavageUK

Division-1
DS and IF drew for 1st place in their match with FRE taking 3rd spot in a very tense 7-7-0 scoreline. HC were a no show and so were replaced with mercs, while ZOO didn't have a full team. This enabled LD50 to have a full reign on the map and that they took in both hands winning 25-1-0.

Division-2
D2 saw AFT secure their second 1st place winning 12-6-2 over TJD and UKSG respectively. GnA also got their second 1st place winning 13-7-2 over WkB and TAA who joined the game late.

Standings:
Division-1: DS, LD50, zoo, FRE, IF, hc
Division-2: aft, GnA, TJD, WkB, TAA, UKSG

        Quake blows away design problems...

Q2 Used To Design Buildings USA - by Caitiri @ gamepig.com

I'd heard of this happening several years ago, but here's the proof that Q2 is being used to design buildings:

The idea was to let the people who were going to use the building see and comment on the arrangement of space within it, and learn how it would function. They also modified the game a bit to remove the weaponry, so no more blasting things: "They were doing that originally but we had to take the guns out - the head of the department didn't like that at all," Mr Richens said. Included are some screenshots from the actual Q2 level (which unfortunately can't be seen in larger format). Article... at BBC News
