Across the pond in the USA, Clan Check Six, (which gained limited notoriety with activities in the CPLs online amateur sister organisation, the CAL, through Counterstrike) has seen more player movements ahead of the Winter CPL.

ESLive reports that Destrukt, arguably the best gamer in North America, has joined x6.pk. Brian DKT Flanders joins the existing PK lineup of Bio, Gimix, and elpajuo and Lexer (of Q3 fame).

The existance of clans in a game where the existing netcode has limited online play to duelling only, would have to call into question the real meaning of clans here. The most obvious incentive for the clans for PK thus far is purely financial in terms of collective sponsorship. Lets hope this has reason to change soon.

I noticed this over on fleabays Church Of Mod website: http://churchofmod.com

As a lot of you will know, originally for Painkiller pak extraction/compilation, commonly used by Chains/Comp mod etc, used Multiexs extractor plus PK plugin to extract the data files from Painkiller ( http://multiex.xentax.com/ , http://www.pkeuro.com/files/misc/mcsetup_xp98.exe ). Using this you can open up LScript.pak which contains the games lua (or chains etc) and tweak to your hearts content.

It seems now that Multiex has gone a step further and released a tool specifically for PK.

You can find the tool, which weighs in at ~75KB, here:

The Intel Bloodline tournament, which will find TWO British players to join the pro-gaming clan 4 KINGS is becoming more and more popular in the news.

The well-known British newspaper “The Guardian” wrote a 2 page article about the event recently, with words from 4Ks founder Tony Aldridge & The CPLs Angel Munoz. The article also gives clues towards possible future CPL sponsors. One of the future sponsors hinted was MTV, one of the biggest known names around.

This is very good news for the British gaming scene, and the world gaming scene too. The British press is well-known everywhere, and such media as BBC provide news and stories around the globe. I just hope more countries will look at this and see a trend.

The 4K Jolt online qualifier for the forthcoming Bloodlan has started, with the double-elimination tournament being played to narrow down the non-seeded attendees for the tournament which takes place in London on the 3rd-5th December.

The online qualifier is still in early days with the no-shows being weeded out before the real gaming can begin.

You can find coverage about the qualifier here:

Some of you may have already noticed that a new demos page is now up, with the demos being gradually added.

http://www.pkeuro.com/demos.php

The most important feature of this page is that you can add and edit your own demos, and screenshots. The demo files are then hosted by pkeuro. Currently upload size is set to 2MB for demos and 512KB for screenshots.

The demos page itself allows you to sort and filter out the demos you want, based on country, player, version, event, map etc.

Moreover it allows us to collect a database of pk demos where there has been a demo-famine up til now with high skilled players being very protective of their tactics. Feel free to contribute.
