NQR10 Gold Cup final will be TELEVISED! 070501
|
|
|
|
With the finals of NQR Season 10 coming up, fix has arranged for the NQR Gold Cup Final to be streamed on www.gametv.fi and later broadcasted to two Finnish Digital television channels, Digiviihde and Diggari!
With an expected 10.000 avg viewers this is, needless to say, a fantastic opportunity for us to promote QuakeWorld to a broader audience and show all those gamers out there that QuakeWorld is not only still a fairly popular game, but has immensely evolved throughout the last decade.
GameTV will have their own guy, Teemu "wabbit" Hiilinen, commentating the game, along with "Jkova" and "mirage" doing the finnish co-commentary to give people a basic overview of tactics and game-play. This is something a lot of people have long hoped for; and now finally the moment has come! Further announcements will be made as we get closer to the date.
The Gold Cup final will be played on Wednesday May 9th 2130CET!
Update: Head over to quakeworld.nu and Sassa's news post for all the information you need to enjoy this highly anticipated final!

Will be awesome, atleast I will do my best to give our audience a good view what
QW is about. Before the match there will be 10-15 minutes preshow, a talk show
with Jkova and Mirage who tells basics of QW.
If it works out well and
our audience likes it, we will in future add QW to our program. |

to do and say! Im looking forward to it. I will post the stream to german news
sites if everything is arranged. |

It will be in Finnish, cos it will be broadcasted to finnish digital
televisions. No point to talk english for it. Sadly we cannot do same show in
two different languages. We are planning that too, but for now we dont have
resources for it. |

the commentary will be in finnish as it is finnish tv of course. however, we

confirmed though)! |

wabbit: after the game it would be nice to have a poll for the audience, asking
them what they liked/disliked. For possible future shows. Maybe upload an avi of
the show with english text after its done. |

The stream will be uploaded to gametv archives. It is free to watch it from
there any time.
The poll can be arranged for those who visit our web
site, sadly its only like 2-3% of our total viewers. But it gives some data. |

Well due to the fact that it's a Finnish TV channel, the commentary is obviously
going to be in Finnish. Of course there will be another commentary during the
game, hopefully by Xerial/Gaz, but that won't be part of the television
thingie.
Anyway... We're EXTREMELY grateful that the the GameTV guys are
willing to do this and it would be far beyond lame if we were to demand any
additional stuff.
And any stream can easily be captured and turned into avi
by whoever is watching it. Releasing an avi with english subtitles to commentary
doesn't seem impossible. |

dont think its such big news, who cares about qw will watch the game, who doesnt
will say "well played, qw has evolved, wow fast game etc" and then return to
his/her daily life...the only thing that will change that ppl will care more
about this than the actual game and there will be no delay because of pingwhine
for obvious reasons
all in all: nice one for making qw more acknowledged,
but more than one show would be useless imo

channel will start with qw after this. And finland will have 3000 clans! |

The equation as i see it is that the more viewers we can reach, the more
probable it is that the game gets attention of someone who either want to a)
play the game or b) support the game in any other way. Even if it's not actual
players we can reach, the b) means we can reach even more people of the same
kind, and it's the snowball effect.
I don't expect 300.000 players from
this, but it's a step in the right direction as QW has been far too closed for
newbies and stuff compared to other games. It's not just that QW is hard to
start out with - many players don't even know that the game is still played in a
competitive manner!
Getting QW semi-popular again can't be that hard. I
mean, if we can send a man to the moon... :p |

The NQR admin crew has chosen a ezquake setup we feel is appropriate. It's not
overkill (as in everything enabled), but it's not simplistic either. |

Heya All.
Just my 2 cents regarding the upcoming televised event.
First of all it’s good for the QW scene to be exposed to a larger audience.
However, there is a potential risk that the audience will not understand what is
going on in the game. I got to think of this while I was watching a 4on4 CPM
game on CPM27 (SWE vs UK I think). I have played Q3 for years and I know what
CPM is, so I would say that I should be able to understand (better than any
non-quake player anyway) what is going on the map. But I did not! I lost
interest after 10 min. I also used the multi view feature, which is very cool,
but it just made it more confusing. Funnily enough I saw a 5on5 Counterstrike
game the day after (game TV) and even though I never played the game before I
immediately understood what was going on. The main reason was that while the
game was going on the commentators explained what was happening in the map and
as the team members were sticking together it was easy to follow AND the rounds
were very short.
As you all know, in QW we do not always stick
together and a lot of matches are decided by one or two players turning a map
around and a “round” is 20 min. Therefore, it is crucial that during the editing
of the program, that the mind of a completely QW-n00b is kept in mind. I have
some suggestions and please pitch in with more:
History and development
of the game
Present the over all purpose of the game (frags as opposed to
flags etc)
Present the weapons
Present the maps (location of
stuff)
Do not shift view every 5 seconds (try to “fly around” - god
perspective)
Analyse the significant instances (stealing Pentas etc) in each
game
Explain why the team won the game
I know that it is not a 6
hour marathon QW show, but it is important that interest is created around the
game and not confusion.
I think the discussion around the game is as
important as the in-game stuff. The reason being that no one, except for us
die-hard QW fans, is able to keep up the spirit and watch a 5 * 20 min game.
Everyone else will most likely be bored to death, unless the commentators are
able to make the game fun and interesting.
Whimp

"Analyse the significant instances (stealing Pentas etc) in each
game"
That's actually a very interesting point to make. As the
televised show will be broadcasted a week after the final is played (or so i've
heard/read in these comments) there is room for good editing, rewind and
slow-motion-sequences in crucial situations etc.
Would be something new
even to the senior QW player. :) |
