Miniony sezon Quake Pro League był ostatnim - nie będzie kolejnej edycji. Niekoniecznie oznacza to koniec e-sportu #QuakeChampions, ale nie da się ukryć, że raczej nie zmierza to w dobrym kierunku.
Szkoda, bo Quake, poza byciem legendą i klasykiem w świecie gier i e-sportu, jest po prostu diabelnie dynamiczny i widowiskowy. Ale możliwe, że jest też trudny w efektywnej grze, przez co nie przyciągał graczy i widzów. Nie wiem, nie znam się. Mimo że nie śledziłem specjalnie sceny, to mistrzostwa na Quakeconie lubiłem sobie obejrzeć.

"Already facing existing vacancies, Linda Johnson, president of the Brooklyn Public Library, said the system will be forced to slash wages and salaries, which will in turn decrease the number of hours opened and programs they can offer."

I don't know if the #fediverse is interested in twitch shooters, but currently we have the Quake Pro League Stage one finals tournament at Lucca comics and games.
