Last week

Round of 128 in Ownage season 3 is now behind us. Often the first rounds of tournaments like these are plagued with walk overs. Unfortunately there was no exception this time. moltas got a walk over from murdoc, so one of the best Ro128 games never happened. The rest of the walk overs seem to have gone the way of pre game favorites, except for tay vs. drd where the American advanced.

Now and then we can read different guides on how to play qw 4on4. You might get tips like if you spawn @ A, You should go to B and then C. Unless event-D happens and you should do trickjump-X.

Below is a blog that's been sat on my harddrive at work since 2007. I never got around to finishing it but thought it might be interesting for someto read, at least those that recognise some of the names herein! Of course, a lot of this was just my musings on how I remembered stuff, so I've probably told a few things a little different to how they actually went down. Bleh.

The way it felt of holding an RA on Dm3 locked in your hands..
the way to feel that you have out shafted your enemy without notice the damage
the way you just burst into laughter on mm3 with retardness shit
the way you could fuck up the entire qw community with blog posts

damn I MISS MY QW :P

As a relative ‘veteran’ who has been commentating on QW since 2002, I was interested to see the recent drive to get some more people commentating on the upcoming EQL season. I think it’s important to hear some different viewpoints and in particular I feel the lower divisions have sometimes been overlooked in the past. Below are some general tips I would give to any aspiring commentator:

The Viper Squad (TVS) have now won 4 out of the last 5 EQL titles to add to the NQR11 crown they clinched in 2008. Few would argue that it would take something truly remarkable for them to not win a 4th successive EQL in season 11, and to me it is quite sad that QW has reached the stage where we have one clan who is achieving such lasting domination.

But how good are they?

As you might have read the Steelseries Xai review earlier, there's at least one more (mouse) review coming up in the near future.

Now the question is, are there any specific topics I should be concentrating on when reviewing the next product or was the last review "ok". At least the structure of the review will be revamped a bit so that it looks cleaner, but are there things that need to be thoroughly checked on top of the "usual" testing?

175 players from 21 countries, lots of big names, the one and only Milton. Ownage season 3 has truly begun.

The bracket is up, and things are getting started. Round 1 is currently underway, 48 players will have to fight for their spot on the first full round including the top 128 players.

Next week (or this week if people start playing early) the round of 128 starts and we are already going to see some great games.

Today someone registered with nickname DAG!

It's been dry for a while now. Not me, nor Sweden, but the QW scene.
