Quake Live Tourney?

[Mintograde]

Any chance of a Quake Live tournament at the next LAN if it's out of beta by then? Or if it's not, maybe a small side-tourney on the beta servers?

We'll see what we can do, however we can't run our own servers for Quake Live so that might be a bit more difficult. Maybe sponge knows more of the details about QL than I do, but we'll see what we can do.

Side-tourney would probably work, but the LAN version won't be able until post-release. I don't expect it to be avail for spring LAN

MegaBump.

Now that private servers are available, a Quake Live tournament could be played on some private NY servers, ~20ms ping. The fact that the game is free and fast to install means a tourney announcement at the LAN could produce a sizable number of competitors just from people who haven't played it yet - not to mention the people who would go to the LAN knowing about the tourney.

So how 'bout it?
