We all know that you have been waiting for something to happen over the last month now since we had some of our admins move on. Well that time has come and we are well on our way to hosting some new events here and within the Quake Live community.

The ESL Quake Live ESL/id software "Pro Challenge" Duel competitions are returning shortly. id software has confirmed it will be giving us all new keys to hold these events, more information t.b.a.

The ESL is now taking sign ups for our next 2v2 TDM competition starting Feb. 5th at 7:00 pm EST. time. So grab a partner and lets get TDM going strong!

Please allow a short time for ESL's new NA Quake Live Head Admin (superjake) to get everything situated.

National ESL depends on the Admins that work here. They work hard to give the community the competition that they want. They work hard to get input from the community and use the suggestions and idea's that comes from the players.

ESL Quake Live Division has been working hard to give the players something new. We are very pleased to say that the Quake Live Admins had a talk with id software and came to a commitment for the next cup.

Attention all players! Due to the holidays during the past couple of weeks we have decided to extend play for weeks 1 and 2 until Wednesday, January 5th. Meaning any match that you missed, forgot about or couldn't play due to other reasons you still have a chance to play them. Any matches that were reported as a FFL should be brought up to an admin ASAP for the match to be reset as long as you play by Wednesday. If you do not play the match then both players will receive a forfeit loss and penalty points.

Hey everyone, Just a quick note about the Quake Live TDM Cups. We have a 2v2 Quake Live TDM Cup this coming Tuesday and a 4v4 TDM cup this coming Wednesday.

Last week the National ESL QuakeLive Divisional playoffs were held. Rey_ emerged the champion, beating tyryl, raul, and dragaox along the way. Gashuffer recently interviewed the new champion to probe his brain about the tournament and his admission into the Premier Division of the League.
