Polish Quake is in good hands!

I have been thinking and this is what I’ve said in discord, why not seed pros on invitationals higher by default, then everyone else can go through group stages, ie day 1 everyone and anyone play through group stages and on day 2 whoever qualified from day 1 gets to play the pros, I think something like this was done at keencon? Either way be nice for non pros to get a chance at lan and maybe even a chance to compete against some pros and if there’s an entrance fee that would mean a bigger prize pool

@@VALIS538 For us this would be more round housing all the people in an open event. Although our HQ is quite big its also a perfect place for smaller events and keeing that homely vibe We plan on having an open qualifier for 1/2 spots and then fully funding those 1/2 people to come to LAN to compete against the very best that are invited. This open stage would be online though feeding into the LAN As mentioned in the video if we want to do these long term and more frequently, we need to figure out ways of not taking up the whole facility so we can also hire it out to other teams in other games at the sametime. A 1/2 day quake LAN could cost us thousands if not more in lost revenue if it "gets in the way" of other teams booking our space. So just looking at offering up a couple or even 1 big bootcamp room for the pros for this, then make use of upstairs staff area and media studio, while also having 2 or 3 rooms still available to book That makes it more managable for us, fun for the fans as its just awesome matchups in a simple format and hopefully repeatable!

Thanks to you as well for the initiative, we really need this.

Bring him back

Good point about a USP!

Good idea! Definitely need incentives for donations, we will come up with a list, maybe signed merch from the pros or as your suggestion get to submit questions even to pros?

@@EndpointQuake yeah stuff like that is a good incentive for donating. You could probably do some signed mousepads and stuff like that as well. But I like the idea of involving the community somehow into the streams as well. Either watch parties like I suggested or perhaps just video chatting with different people that could do questions for the pros or give there opinion on the last game and stuff like that. I would like to see a mix of professionalism and casual come back. Lately it has just been a lot of trying to make it to professional. As long as the game casting is professional, then everything in between can be a bit more casual, fun and yolo.

An omnium-style medley of deathmatches in each game...

💙 keep your eyes peeled, not open yet but will be when we announce the event

The current working plan is to have it single elim, as we will potentially have two events with 1v1 and 2v2 we feel players will atleast get 2 games Completely agree with what you have said, we have used single elim for our CS:GO events we put on, very clean 8 team brackets that the viewers enjoy, find simple to follow, and players feel like they don’t play way too much (especially for the smaller prizepools)

I like this idea!

As in a BYOC? That's more difficult for us, but certainly something we'd like to see more of!

KeenCon was open last year! And working on it to be open for everyone!!

We did love KeenCon!@@ergheizdurahan9910
