All-Star Team Deathmatch

All-Star Team Deathmatch
Christmas Special
(post on behalf of myrmidon^)

It's been a few years since we had to abandon the EuroQ2L due to a lack of clans and players. After asking around and receiving a lot of interest, I have decided to setup an all-star Team Deathmatch to relive some of that nostalgia that seems to be lacking from the scene.

Christmas is on the horizon and I know a lot of players like to travel to relatives or spend time with their family, so after some thought and consideration, I decided that the first weekend of December (Saturday the 3rd) would be an ideal time that could accommodate most players. However, if there is a high demand to play the weekend afterward (Saturday the 10th) then it could be rescheduled.

As the name entails, this is for division 1 EDL and any old-school players that wish to return for a frag fest. However, I feel a little guilty about restricting this to division 1 only, so if it runs smoothly and is successful I will consider doing an open pick-up for everyone to participate in the future. If you're still in touch with any players who you think would like to participate then please get in contact with them. I've seen Optimizer playing some games recently, and I would like to see a lot more of the old names returning, like Slippi, Thaigo, Offi, Welkin, Pogo, Mobius, Shugz ? not Careem ? or anyone else that springs to mind!

This is strictly a fun event to relive some quality Team Deathmatch with (hopefully) balanced teams. If you're interested then put your name in the comments below, and confirm that the date is ideal for you. I will try to start the games mid-afternoon and into the evening if possible, so it would be best if you turn up on IRC at #edl on Quakenet.
You don't have to download the IRC client, just use this link: https://webchat.quakenet.org/#edl

Let the fragging begin!

	Demos, please? Preferably with warmups
careem	2016-12-21 18:10
	I can stream this if you will have the game going on
ivers	2016-12-13 15:35
	good idea - i can play if u dont have enough players
myrmidon^	2016-12-04 08:12
	No, the problem is that no one really cares. Was nice that some people put in the effort at least: Wst, Isbjorn, Blaizz, Damiah, AlexJ, Syanid (even though he didn't really want to play), and myself.
Muerte\|	2016-12-04 07:42
	Like i wrote No need for any system, because admins did good job splitting players in two div1 1st team Purri, Syanid, wst, AlexJ, kiru (rest of players by performance are not div1 this season) 2nd team Damiah, Blaizz, IsBjorn, (Numavezi, Ivers, Warrior depends of map) Anyway its left to check who would be able to play when they couldn't play official games for weeks because they to busy with life... ------ So who should ask all Div1 players when they all able to play? my grandpa? or 'idea mastah'
ceba	2016-12-04 07:02
	I think the "all star" part killed your idea myrmidon.
myrmidon^	2016-12-03 17:43
	RIP Christmas all-star game ...
sofiene	2016-11-28 05:04
	Awesome stuffs, can i join in ? Also i have seen scooby and the rest of the sYnth clan members play from time to time, if any of you can contact them, that would be great. Edited: 2016-11-28 05:06
myrmidon^	2016-11-24 08:14
	There won't be any fakers. If I don't know who you are, you won't be playing.
farsa	2016-11-24 07:35
	what will done if lamer from past will be faker? this will be real SUPERSTAR of this tdm
keizer	2016-11-22 13:21
	if you need noobs, call me
michaq	2016-11-22 08:16
	If it is possible, and there will be lack of pro-players, I also want to particapate but only on q2dm2 ;]]] Of course only as a backup ;]
isbjorn	2016-11-21 14:44
	I can play too. Nice initiative
Damiah	2016-11-21 13:59
	I can play if I am at home then
myrmidon^	2016-11-21 11:32
	It would seem a lot of people can't read the article properly. I specifically said to put your name in the comments if you're interested and no one has, so I'm assuming no one is interested. Trust me, I'm doing this for the good of the scene and for peoples entertainment, and it saves me a lot of stress to NOT do it, so please stop trying to be 'cool', drop your egos and put your fucking name in the comments, or it simply won't happen. Can't believe in this day and age people can't do simple shit. Edited: 2016-11-21 11:32
Barton	2016-11-21 10:31
	When would this supposed match take place? Also, perhaps we can get some MVD demos, like if the match ends up being played on one of Claire's servers. : Edit: Nevermind, I missed the match date in the article. Edited: 2016-11-21 10:33
myrmidon^	2016-11-21 08:19
	Div1a vs Div1b could be interesting, but I'd put my money on 1a.
kabysdoh	2016-11-21 06:14
	this far we night end up playing div1a vs div1b, which is not exactly bad
Reverence	2016-11-21 02:08
	1. purri 2. david 3. damiah 4. isbjorn 5. ivers 6. alexj 7. kiru 8. blaizz 9. numa 10. c12 my list based on people who are teamplayers and currently active. i would have added much more wizard players and hbq/v3/play members if not Edited: 2016-11-22 09:13
newash	2016-11-20 09:53
	This is going to evolve in a good way! Still... consider regular DM (FFA) !!
kabysdoh	2016-11-20 06:38
	if blaizz put his own nickname in, i'd assume someone hacked his accout
myrmidon^	2016-11-19 19:11
	11. Blaizz
Blaizz	2016-11-19 19:02

k1ra	2016-11-19 13:41
	Good idea, I always loved to obs "all-star" games. Gogogo
playOK	2016-11-19 08:58
	I'm in for warmup FFA
kabysdoh	2016-11-19 08:46
	covell would be pleased to see his name in the list indeed
da-be-da	2016-11-19 08:27
	what about zorre,provi,gerdt,aone,ibo,covell... others i cant remember right now
kabysdoh	2016-11-19 04:53
	FFA might kick out as a warmup for both players and viewers (also tested on Russian tournaments, sorry for noting it again -_?)
psm	2016-11-18 23:48
	i would prefer to see ffa massacre of All-Star
myrmidon^	2016-11-18 19:23
	If we get more than enough to make teams then I will try to stream, and maybe even commentate if I'm in the mood.
Barton	2016-11-18 16:42
	We need a stream of this TDM action or some demos.
myrmidon^	2016-11-18 14:22
	Mrt, stop basing this by the name. It's just a title that draws peoples attention. There hasn't been real Stars in Quake 2 since 2001.
Muerte\|	2016-11-18 14:16
	@newash 1st its not admins post 2nd there is bunch of players from Poland and other countries who are ALL-STARS by performance in NDML, EuroQ2L, Edge and EDL league ALL-STARS teams in past was always chosen by vote and without Stars this is just pickup game
myrmidon^	2016-11-18 14:06
	Newash, it is regular tdm with dm1 and dm3 and quad etc. Also, the admins didn't write this article, I did, and I didn't mention David because 1. he's bad, 2. he's a cheater, and 3. last time I mentioned his name in an article he started crying like a 10 year old. David can participate if he wants, but to be honest, I'm not sure he's good enough anymore.
newash	2016-11-18 13:57
	Why its not a regular DM. I would love to see dm1 battle or dm3 with quad and 4-5 DIV1 players (I gues that may be the number of masters that will be willing to play at one time). Shame, shame, shame on admins who didn't mention David in the post. However it may be amazing to see 4v4 again in post-post-post modern quake. Fingers crossed. Edited: 2016-11-18 13:58
kabysdoh	2016-11-18 11:52
	no idea what that 'life' thing is but hope it won't occur Edited: 2016-11-18 12:14
Muerte\|	2016-11-18 07:33
	No need for any system, because admins did good job splitting players in two div1 1st team Purri, Syanid, wst, AlexJ, kiru (rest of players by performance are not div1 this season) 2nd team Damiah, Blaizz, IsBjorn, (Numavezi, Ivers, Warrior depends of map) Anyway its left to check who would be able to play when they couldn't play official games for weeks because they to busy with life...
myrmidon^	2016-11-18 07:20
	Oh, I forgot to mention maps. We will play the 3.20 patch maps - dm1 through dm8 - and hopefully Next1, if it's uploaded to the server. Kaby: we will do captains, but I don't think we need to rank players by their skill.
AlexJ	2016-11-18 06:15
	Ping???
kabysdoh	2016-11-18 06:09
	i'd suggest to implement a system of mix tournaments we used a year ago on Russian servers. the idea is that the strongest players become 'captains' and get numbers (1, 2, 3, 4) accodringly to their skill level. then they pick the players to their teams in the following order: 4-3-2-1-2-1-3-4-3-4-2-1 (this order creates the most balanced teams as we found by experience). Edited: 2016-11-18 06:11
Muerte\|	2016-11-18 03:48
	they can't kaby since myrmidon bribed claire to ban q2next1 map on packetflinger servers
kabysdoh	2016-11-18 01:22
	myrmidon is in, and now they vote for map q2next1
XOPPOP	2016-11-18 00:52
	Nice idea! GL!!
myrmidon^	2016-11-17 15:57
	I'm in!
ceba	2016-11-17 15:42
	Good luck
