| The inaugural King of Kenya Competition ran without a hitch tonight. More than 100 official games played over the course of the evening, with vdm3 in the spotlight this week. Congratulations to Seese on being crowned King of Kenya, following a thriller in the final vs the favourite: swi. Full results are available at http://quakeworld.nu/forum/viewforum.php?id=34 and I have uploaded demos of the final to http://qw.clanfh.net/duel_seese_vs_swi_kotk.tar.gz
Well done to sassa, vio, et al on a great event; impeccably run. Aside from being an enjoyable evening, the King of Kenya gives us a chance to thoroughly test out new maps in a reasonably competitive tournament - to showcase their potential at all skill levels. vdm3 performed very well, and I would like to see it making some more appearences in the future.
From my own perspective, the Scandinavian focus is a bit of an obstacle for the rest of us, with all of the official servers tonight being located in Sweden/Finland/Norway. Particularly on a map like vdm3, where the gameplay revolves around a telejump at the centre which is almost impossible on high ping, this made it kind of pointless for the rest of us - myself, Pleura, mushi from Portugal, and a couple of the Russians. Hopefully future tourneys will have some central European servers on offer.
Keep an eye on the quakeworld.nu forums for news of next Tuesdays map.
