2400€ sounds a bit sad for a Quake-tournament :/ eSports were more exciting to watch back then :)
Isnt rapha participating?
Still, that tank at CPL UK in Sheffield was pretty... funny? ;D
As for the prize money, I rather see it starting out slow with prize money that gets paid out and doesn't end with the company going bankrupt.
Which one was that?
How do you create a QL LAN server in general?
-_-
