Exactly 1 year ago, I wrote a similar headline as I was announcing the 8th season of the European Quake League. Now after a long summer break, it's time for another season of the infamous 4on4 league.

The map pool discussion is a hot topic in our forum right now, and it is still possible to make your voice heard.

Also remember that if you are looking for a clan or new blood for your team, we have a transfer section in our forum.

But enough talk, as I know that a lot of people are anxious to get on with the killing!

Update
There is a new poll to decide what 2 custom maps will be added to the map pool.

After a two year long break KTK returns for a new season of one day tournaments. Starting the 15th October, every Thursday until Christmas will have a tournament played between 20.00 and 23.00 CET. The first map to be played will be Doomed by Zaka, for more information and sign ups head over here.

So we're 2 weeks into the Ownage Duel Tournament and it's time for some predictions and drama. I guess it would be fair to say that so far not all that much has happened. Lots of games have been played and the amount of WOs given is relatively low, but there haven't really been any big upsets - yet.

Our favourite svenskjävel bps was nice enough to make a graphical bracket prediction for us and I'd like to use this as a basis for my article...

The first week of Ownage 2 duel tournament has just passed and round two of winners bracket has started along with round one of losers bracket. They will end the 4th October and the admins want to remind players that they have to get their games played before this date as they will be enforcing the deadline strictly. If you already know that you will not be able to play your game before this date, please contact an admin as soon as possible.

Today the signups opened for the Quakeworld 1on1 tournament at the Dreamhack Winter 2009 event which will take place between the 26th to 29th of November in Jönköping, Sweden. The prize purses that are up for grabs in Quakeworld and Quake Live were also revealed.

Both MVDSV 0.29 and KTX 1.36 have now been released. After over a year of work and testing, we can finally bring you the new builds. Both builds are mostly bugfix releases but there are some new features too.

The QuakeWorld client ezQuake 2.0 stable version has just been released. Read on for further info, download links and the changelog.
Note: New KTX and MVDSV stable releases are here in a few moments too!

Seeing that Ownage has started, it's time to give some heads up about new routing through Quakeworld.fi and probably through Troopers.fi too.

(Russian players ahoy!)

For those who missed it, season 2 of the duel league Ownage, started it's qualification round yesterday. The tournament didn't quite get to the number of signups as it's previous incarnation, but after a very idle summer break, 150 players is a quite good turnout.

Partnership with Tastyspleen.tv
To cover the 128 player QuakeWorld tournament, QuakeWorld.nu have made a partnership deal with Tastyspleen.tv to, in cooperation do live coverage of the upcoming matches.

Read on for a list of top players participating in Ownage and more about the partnership.

Yesterday, the members of the clan known as Druidz decided to part ways. The team started out as Star Alliance in 2008, with a mixture of top duel players and solid high-level 4on4 players. During their time as a team they showed to be one of the bigger surprises in modern QuakeWorld, as they, with their high motivation and hard work, quickly advanced into the top of division 1.

Read on for a statement from bps about the disbanding of the team.
