Due to various reasons EQL 20 will have to be postponed until September 2015.

I am sorry to tell you that EQL 20 will not happen this spring but instead will be launched in September 2015.
In the meantime I hope some other tournaments are held during the spring, perhaps some 2on2 or FFA tournaments for a change?

I welcome you all back after the summer.

Perfect time for a draft league imo...

Yeah I agree Andeh.

lets do it!

I don't know who the organizers really were last time... They should probably have most things set up already to make it happen. Someone contact me please?

I'm also sure it's possible to find good captains who would be willing to play a draft league. It would really give an activity boost!

I told you before, carapace is the only remaning Salvation admin active in the community.
Swing did most of the work with the page and he more or less dropped right out of the qw community half way into Salvation 3 afaik.

I think carapace has mentioned this as well when the subject was brought up earlier in 2014.

All in all you basically need someone with access to the qw.nu/salvation stuff to be able to get it going again unless you want to make an entirely new league for a draft with a new crew and a new web-admin etc.

perhaps dimman could help with the page.

From Salvation 3 site:
Admins
adde
carapace
dimman
ParadokS
rkd
swi
zero

Right, who of these admins do we think could help out? It's really hard to start from scratch so I really need someone to throw me a bone here... I'm willing to put in time and effort to admin a league like that but I really need help.

Draft league and 2on2 tournament running simultaneously would be _HOT_
If anyone needs any help message good ol sane.

Andeh, this might be a long shot but with swing gone I guess dimman or zalon could (with emphasis on could) have access to the salvation site. I dont know this for sure tho.

Apart from that I guess carapace would/could be interested in the admin part?

Yeah I think he would. What about programs used for the draft and whatnot? ParadokS was the one handling that before I think... hmm.

/poke dimman

Well the main thing is the actual playing so you dont have to copypasta the whole shebang imo.

I got access to the server, however I don't have access to the draft site, not even read access. It's totally locked down to swi's account on the server...

Contact zalon and ask him to transfer the directory ownership and then I could probably help out setting up a new season.

I can run a 2on2 tournament. I just need to find a time of the year that is good for players. It has been in my head for a while now anyways.

As for a draft league, I unfortunately don't think that we can get enough players to show up at specified times. For example, p!ng tried for 2 weeks straight to get SD2 to play our last EQL game, messaging them in their own IRC channel, and we never got a single response. Not even a courtesy "we can't make it". Imagine that in a draft, where some of the members might not even be on IRC or have contact information.

Check the previous Salvation seasons Bogojoker, almost no walkovers.

Sounds cool

BEAUTY, I say as soon as possible no other tournaments going on, so it should get some interest.

Definitely would play in the 2v2. Is it global or NA only?

Would most likely be global, not many even 2on2 games can happen in USA, well possibly if we have some sort of "draft" but maximum would be like 5-6 teams haha, still would be fun I guess if we chose the teams correctly. damn it usa.

Dimman any updates? Or something more I should ask of Zalon?

No, as I said I still don't have write access... The salvation page is owned by user 'swi' with perms 644, that means only owner has write access and I'm not swi. I have read access but NOT root access NOR ownership of the folder so I can't do anything until Zalon fixes this..

Zalon replies; "hey, yeah... It should be fixed now, together with 9gb of free disk space. Should keep it running for a while".

(andeh the middle man)

I remember the first season, was a really good hype, livestreaming the drawings, maybe the other seasons was like that as well.
Was really fun games to watch and to play, and a lot of the teams were so even!

Really nice tournament idea, two years since the last, make it happend, and i'll live comment it with LocKtar! drunk.

The time is NOW!!!

QW players are still hyped up from last EQL, new clans has been formed, new players from quakelive going over to QW.
A 2on2 tourney atleast would be really cool. I can help with whatever u need helt with!

Please summer is coming and something needs to happen NOW!!!

/0200-highkon

I'll get a new draft season site up and running as soon as I get time!

hooraayy!!

thx dimman!

Thanks DImman !

In the meantime, here is the 2on2 Tournament. March madness. Sign ups are open.

I can volunteer as a captain, but I dont have the time nor the interest to do any adminning work. Priorities and all that.

Righto.
