Unless Jehar and his Tastyspleen team comes to cover it, I doubt you'll see more than just the finals on the official QCon stream. That's what they tend to do with the less popular games at QCon. (Se, Brink and ETQW from more recent events)

good point. maybe theres hope for yehar.

if not. ddk & zoot have no deeper knowledge about classic doom, but they can grab a doom dueller to help with the shoutcast OR they do the alternative which is "say what you see on screen" instead of game analysis. this method ruled esport shoutcasting a long time :) they are smart, i trust them.

etqw tourmament, i think it was a bit bigger than you thought. tossspot did a nice job in 2007.

great news everyone!

i got confirmation: Jehar will be there. ddk said it.

Well, ETQW 2007 was the beta tournament, they were still pimping the game to customers then. 2008 was the year they had a real tournament with Promod and that was entirely covered by volunteer organisation ET.TV (Greasedscotsman et al). Except the Xbox championships wich weren't covered at all to my knowledge.

Also Tosspot is a seasoned WolfET caster so his knowledge should have transferred over from that quite nicely.

glad they settled for what they did and didnt just go for doom2.exe or something similar. DevastatioNs got a great chance of winning this now unless maybe Jkist3 if he goes aswell. Wish I could go but even if I did win the tournament then on I'd not be able to cover any costs which sucks ass n ain't payin 20 million squids to go to bloody texas.

I really hope there will more doom tourneys at qcon in future , ofc if this first tourney will succesfull. I really could love visit qcon some day. Have fun all participate players and play fair. **

I hope there will be at least some of this streamed. It's cool that this is happening. Very cool.

According to Ddk, it'll be covered by Jehar and tastyspleen.tv

awesome. jehar got a taste of doom casting when he did a few streams for idl, so he is the right man for the job. now to pair him with rottking...

Is there any more info on when/if this will be streamed?

Where at, if so?

They'll at the very least will stream the finals tomorrow.
