4k defeated unr on 30 frags difference to take the bwdml for the 4th consecutive time the scores being 111-107 (dm7) and 33-94 (cpm4). you can get the demos off barrysworld ftp q3dm7 game, cpm4 game.
also you can read reviews of the match on quakenation, the playing fields (they've photos of some of the 4k lads in action. and a review over at xsreality.
on another note the game last night between ps and poq was amazing, with ps playing poq 3v4 on q3dm7 for most of the match before koopa turned up with 4 minutes to go and they managed to snatch the lead in a bit of a cliff hanger. unfortunately dm8 didn't go to plan and ps lost, loosing them promotion. hard luck lads, we were routing for you in irc/gtv :/

are you on this list?. if the answer is yes, then you are going to the most awaited lans in a loong time. if your answer is no, then your probably from bio or something!. either way, if your not going to trinlan, your soo gonna miss out

the eq3l final kicks off tonight between ea and mtw. the eq3l is an invitational ctf league with over 30+ clans participating. the final should be of great interest to the team.ie ctf squad as most of the players in both clans are in the german national team for the savage ctf tourney. for more details on the final, join #mtw and #azeroth for updates on gtv and scores.

the millennium fragfest lan event in malaysia had to be cancelled at the last minute. last nite, a gang of 5 parang-wielding crazed men broke into the event center. they proceeded to treathen people and held them as hostage whilst the men unloaded the 20 or so pc's, from the hall, into the back of a truck and then drove off! it sounds like an inside job to me. all i can say is - what the hell!!

erazor from xs reality has done a really excellent preview of the up'n coming league. he brings his thoughts on each division on the different teams involved and its definately worth a read if your interested in the cup.

features:
- fix: lists version 1.27g/h demos.
- fix: demos with spaces in the name can be played.
- wider demo file list box.
- option to alphabetize demo list.

the latest osp tourney just released today, version s1. below are the changes,
nothing major it seems but added to the first s release means quite a lot of
new stuff. you can get it here.
feb 20: 0.99s1
fix: jumppad sounds. still not perfect, but more consistant.
- fix: suicide stats cleared properly.
- fix: random double loads on startup.
- fix: bot optimization on maps with/without items.
- fix: cpm hud timer during timeouts.
- fix: some older maps used a lot of configstrings, that would inadvertantly
affect osp.
- add: badlands message if in badlands mode.
- correction: pmove_fixed defaults to 0, not 1, as was stated in 0.99s history.
- correction: server_availmodes defaults to 59, not 63.

the first week of the savage ctf league took place yesterday. two irish clans particpate in the league, hatstand and bring it on. bio took on rv resulting in a loss of 33 caps to 0 whilst hat took on tjd and defeated them 15-0. i'll try and keep you updated on a weekly basis on how the two teams progress.

another release of osp marks the merging of q3comp and osp. this is pretty cool and will make the standard for gaming totally international. you can slurp it here.

a few months back we had the cpl dallas event, you all remember that? the quakenation boys have two movies from the channel 4 documentary on the event and on the gaming lives of timber and sujoy. if you havnt seen these, i'd grab them as their the best coverage i've seen of progaming by far.
you can grab both parts here and here.

it certainly looks like quakeworld is back. over on the z-quake site, they have updated their popular mod/proxy for qw. it has some really nice features for qw players that the likes of qizmo and cheapo dont have. check it out.

the challenge network head guy, hoony, has wrote an article on the resurection of quakeworld via the smackdown leagues. although it seems more of a promotion of smackdown, its still an interesting read and worth a look.

i wouldn't normally post news about discussions in forums, but this one is rather interesting as it will effect how bio will be able to play in the up'n coming eurocup. also a thing to note, is the general agreement is max_packets 100 can and does flood isdn and modem players.. something people should note when playing against lanned players. anyway, have a read.

well, tonights games went down a treat. all the players showed and really enjoyed
the games from all accounts. i had a great laugh and i think most people did aswell.
the games were very entertaining with some cracking action. bigfoot

supplying the server and the gtv. thanks for that dave, it was excellent. a
huge thanks goes to the players, who, without them, we'd have no games at all. so

in case you missed this one, bio were intervied by splitty from challenge-eu about their recent win v's nd for the eurocup placing. an interesting read to say the least. here is an extract -
[splitty] so were bio expecting to win?
[m1ke] not really tbh, not after all their bl33ting. not with players like bunny,koopa,overlord etc.. big names in quakeworld, we thought we were gonna get stuffed tbh ... but they never stood up well

on a totally quake-unrelated issue, trevor deely has been missing since 8th december 2000. some of you may have already seen this posted all over the city. there have been no confirmed sightings since, nor have there been any leads as to what may have happened.
as i'm sure you can appreciate, his family are going through a horrendous time and we are desperate to find trevor. if you know of his where-abouts or know any further information on this, please let us know.

the second last week in the
target="_blank">barrysworld league is showing the men from the boys. heres
how the games played this week -
team |
|
dm7tmp |
dm8tmp |
ps |
imp |
69-81 |
152-42 |
bio |
sq |
75-0 |
75-0 |
hat |
utp |
122-70 |
121-94 |
hat-b |
craps |
57-116 |
68-126 |
*nb - hat's games were played on mexx1 and dm8 as it was a postponed match from
two weeks back.
ps are now favorites to grab the no.1 spot from div 2c. last night ea,
slipped up against son losing on both dm8 and dm7. meaning that all ps need
to do is win against struggling clan poq to get the no.1 spot and get promoted to div 1.
also in the same division, bio will unluckily finish 3rd or 4th on frag difference after having completed all their games, but m1ke isn't too unhappy and plans to spend another season in div2 working on teamplay before taking on the teams in the top flight. hat also are doing very well. tonight saw them defeat utp, a
team who like hat were undefeated until now. hat are now guaranteed promotion to
division 2 and if they win their next game, they will take their division. the ever
improving hat-b are doing relatively good in their division aswell and will probably do
alot better in future games.
