Total - 40
40 clans will be devided into two groups - 20 clans per each. The groups news will appear tomorrow morning (9-11 cet).





SURPRISE! The eq2l5 crew decided to add two new, custom maps to season mappool. Both were designed special for 4/4 playing by great American mapper - Jester (check his homepage to more info). Maps are: q2next1 aka Schizm and q2next2 aka Stress Fractures. So the league mappool looks like: q2dm1, q2dm2, q2dm3, q2dm5, q2dm6, q2dm7, q2dm8, q2next1 and q2next2 (9). There are two new maps, so rules have to be changed - there won't be maps picking before the game. Maps will be forced to every round (as it is in cb).
New map are in, so we decided also to postpone start of the league by one week - to 3rd March. The whole week is dedicated for everyone to learn those maps. I think some fresh thing are needed for our scene, but if someone thinks in other way - feel free to tell me that. If any clan decides to leave the league because the cup, im sorry about that stuff but eq2l crew think it would be nice to play on new maps - trust us.

Those servers SHOULD have those maps - if there are not - send me pm.
Rest of playable european servers will have it in few days. Remember to change map back to q2dm* after match, because still not many players have it!

q2next1 sux. It looks ugly as shit first of all . Second why did someone put QUAD and YA in one place?????? Yeah we have something like that on dm3. But this time it's a bit different ->>> there is no RG on the other side of map and you don't need a jumper.

q2next2 is ok, a bit weird but ok :p.

All the demos I've seen so far indicate railgun is far less powerful weapon there than in dm1/dm3.

First of all, we can't have a working discussion/beta-testing with 100+ people. Everyone will have their own opinion, everyone will want something different. Jester and I made the choices what to do with these maps and we we're interested how they play out. Two clans with teamplay experience is perfect for that, but not 20 clans.

Second, we can't add new maps randomly. Right now the original q2dm series is completely in one style, and we can't break that up by adding maps one by one. I know there are other good maps for teamplay, but for a league they must be in ONE STYLE, by SAME AUTHOR(S).

You mentioned there are better maps than q2next-series for teamplay. Please name a few, would love to check them out. You know how much time we spent on those two maps, trying to achieve the best item placement and gameplay balance? I don't think you do.

And finally, did you check out the jump demo of q2next1?

wision i'm not too lazy i'm just curious why admins added these ones. There are many much more playable maps which could be included to maplist. I was always on YES to new things ba !especially maps! but they should be accepted by the community...
That's all. : )

Btw. as for "And as for community testing, I said that two very old finnish Q2 clans did the betatesting - they liked the maps very much." two old finnish clans doesn't mean community - they're only a part of huge clan/players family or am i wrong? : (

Now this doesn't look good.

- 20 clans in 1 groups is way too much, so gl with it.

- adding new maps without asking what clans think? That is just stupid. Specially when you add them after sign ups. Rule number 1! make league rules and settings ready before opening sign ups!

- 20 clans with huge skill difference... not good. I can only say my own opinion, but 300-40 games are just waste of time. Clans have enough problems to get 4 players to intresting games and what do you think will happends against weaker clans?

"and maps from cs, they are vary vary tested ! ! !"
well.. i played q2next maps long time ago (probably testing? ;]) and they looks great..
imo just some ppl (like luq) are too lazy to learn new maps, sounds, pos, tax...

good job seb..

I think we all forgot the fun of playing new maps :p

We are like old employees who are too used to what they have and don't want to adapt. But learning to play new maps is always nice. For once not all team will have the exact same tactics, same positions etc.

spirit.ee/temp/q2next1_jumpdemo_by_nail.dm2

And there are more jumps, not all are in the demo. My favourite is the djump across quad arena from the YA box, freaking nice jump.

And as for community testing, I said that two very old finnish Q2 clans did the betatesting - they liked the maps very much.

KPAH:

q3 maps are shit usually, we try to take somewhat newer gameplay style of q3 and create new maps based on that, rather than use shitty q3 maps

There are at least 4 ways to the quad in next1, without rocketjumping.

And I say again, these maps have already been played 4on4, and they were great.

Stop whining and arrange some pcws?

: / Huge unplayable maps... : / dunno who has choosen those? They're many many much more playable maps - first one looks like q2dm4 - same style, and is there any other possibility to take QUAD? The only one i know is with rl... from YA with 90fps (i'm forced to play on that value) it's impossible. Second looks like q3 promode dedicated. But hey there is NO cpma in q2... ; / dunno.

I think you people need two important things:

1. A brain
2. Reading skills

Read the last 3 news items posted by SEB, you might understand how the league works.

Euroq2l has been boring with always the same matches played with the same map picked by the same clans. At least this time this league brings something new.

I gotta agree on one point though, I'm affraid the league can last a bit too long and lose its rythm.

2006-02-24 07:55 
i am afraid this league will die becouse loss of interest, becouse in summer everyone stops playing, and there is no chance this will be over until summer. also, matches like HBQ vs pimp (hi zdufs ) will be really boring and pointless. at least put a pool on the page so people can vote about this

Seriously, 9 years without new maps is quite enough dont ya think. We all love original q2dm maps (they are the best in the world), but these new maps are also specially designed for 4v4 and they have been ALREADY TESTED.

Yes, they are different than original q2dm maps. The gameplay is more q3ish maybe. But that doesn't automatically mean they "suck".

Railgun is quite hard to control in next2, we saw that in the pcw. It's very easily attackable but not easily defendable.

Trust me, in next2 more important will be to hold YA + MH.

And don't forget that next1 is the first real 4v4 map with quad+lot of other weapons that has NO RAILGUN.

Dear heavens boy, did you even load up the maps? First one doesn't even have rail! And in the second map there aren't enough slugs to make it a railfest and the railgun is pretty hard to get and control.

Nice comment. Why do they suck? Two finnish clans did the beta-testing, they didn't think much of them in the beginning but when they played it a little they saw the maps were good.

So, keep your mouth shut until you've played a 4v4 match on them, aight?
