Justin Blanchard ala The CPL Commissioner has released details of the seeding for the upcoming Painkiller Tournament in Dallas. The seedings are based upon previous performance in CPL tournaments and unfortunately do not recognise other tournaments like our own.

There are a fair amount of comments already building about players positions in the list and I would be surprised if this is final. Time will Tell. Heres the Top 10:

1) Sander Kaasjager (fnatic.Vo0)
2) Johnathan Wendel (Fatal1ty)
3) Stephan Lammert (SK|SteLam)
4) Alessandro Avallone (Stermy)
5) Justin Hayden (wreck)
6) Sean Price (daler)
7) Brian Grapatin (nts`zen)
8) Daniel Sturdivant (carnage)
9) Rogelio Vela (clowN)
10) Remco Rijskamp (Xhep)

You can find the entire list along with comments from bemused players here 🙂

DreamCatcher have given the go ahead for us to release a small hotfix for the annoying little timer bug seen on most servers. The hotfix is for 1.35 and is around 1 meg. You can just extract it to your data folder for easy installation. Please also test this on servers if you run these.

If you have any problems with this hotfix, or it doesnt work, please PM either w4rh0g, Blowfish or maniax in #Painkiller.euro @ Qnet. Thanks.

You can download the hotfix here.

**update**We are getting reports of the fix not working. Please ensure that minimod is uninstalled and that you follow these steps also:

Overwrite the original Lscripts.pak with the new file in the zip. Also, make sure that you dont have lscripts in unpacked form (if you have the data\lscripts\ subdirectory you need to delete it or at least make sure it is empty). If lscripts exist in both .pak file and unpacked form in the subdirectory then only those unpacked are used and the new pak will not be used.

The CPL have tonight released details of the Summer Championship to be held at the familiar site of the Gaylord Texan Resort, Grapevine, Texas over the time period Wednesday, July 6 to Sunday, July 10, 2005. This will be the location for the USA leg of the World Tour playing Painkiller. $50k is up for grabs at this event and it is bound to be popular.

The CPL have set a price tag of $100 entrance fee for the event but have reduced it to $50 until December 31st. Its worth signing up ASAP if you are sure of going along.
