xero is organizing a TDM cup. This time, it wouldn’t be a complete draft cup but one with real teams, if possible.

For the time being, he is trying to figure out how many people would participate in this tournament.

There is a prize pool of $100, which may be increased if a lot of players are willing to challenge it. Possible mappool is cpm21, cpm4a, cpm18r, avrdm1b and ospdm5a.

More information on the ESReality post and on the tournament page.

Here is a post of memphis on ESReality.

Hello there everybody! Obviously CPM is pretty much dead, but yesterday I was randomly watching IGN Pro League stream and SirScoots made a really good point which encouraged me to finally organize this tournament, he said something like “let’s not get into which game is more skilled or which one is cooler, if you like the game, support it, support the players and support everything around it”. So this is my contribution to CPM because I simply like it:

± Current Schedule Draft
This would be the whole schedule:
The red dots highlight the weeks when each edition would take place, July and August are the months available for the LAN (in case it is going to take place in August, we can make two more editions in July).

You can contact me at #cpmpickup, #uscpmpickup, or #cpmduel, or simply send me a message on ESReality! Cheers!

For several weeks, newborn released the official CPMA website. For the time being, it only consists in a single page with official binaries and some random videos, nothing more to expect. Maybe we will work together later, with newborn, for a joint style, but nothing concrete is planned yet.

The GET CPMA button on the top left corner of the pages of this website will bring you to this website as well.

qrealka recently created a Google+ group for the whole CPMA community. Fell free to join !

There you can find some information related to tournaments, fragmovies, maps and so on.

And for those who don’t know, there is another group on facebook full of people.

Here are a few statistics about #cpmpickup games from cpmpickup.eu. If you have more to share about others communities or more recent values (those from cpmpickup.eu are about 1 year old), don’t hesitate to contact us, we would be glad to add them.

As announced on the 11^th #cpmduel cup, we just released the Rankings system on the website.

For the time beeing, only the #cpmduel cups rankings is available, but more rankings can be created if needed.
About this first ranking, you can find more details on the page, like used values, rules etc.

As you can see, this is not the only changement on the website, left column disappeared, and we`ve not found it yet. So the menu went on the top bar, and the other parts on the right. Great, more space for the main content !

The menu has been organized in 5 parts (+login).

1. News: Everything related to the activity of CPMA, News, Tourneys, Streams and Rankings.
2. Misc: Every media content or useful links for CPMA; Servers, IRC, Quotes, Maps etc.
3. Guides: Guides and tutorials, like Installation, FAQ, Tech sheet, and so on.
4. Communities: Pages for the various communities on CPMA.
5. Setup: Page for some action on the website, account page, Search page etc.

Expect more changement on the website to come. If you have any suggestion, do not hesitate to share them here by leaving a comment.

Thanks to the work of a cpmer, the #cpmpickup website has been redone with a new design and new features. Like minky did on his own website, stats are also provided on this one, from the last matches on their servers to the detailed stats for a precise player.

Here is this new website.

Don`t forget to donate, the community needs 60 € until December 2012 to pay the rent of the servers.
Thanks to gellehsak, who donated 60€, #cpmpickup servers are ready for one more year !

ddk has recently started to make some CPM 1v1 commentaries ( QuakeWorld and QuakeLive as well) on his channel.

Thereby, you can find some matches like :

• memphis vs gaiia
• Vo0 vs Jon4thaN
• vamp1re vs Dziku

Some CPMers, like Memphis, gaiia, Terifire or Padawan (a.k.a unicorn), are thinking about making a great CPM Lan in order gather a lot of old CPMers "before cpm dies".

Nothing is really decided yet, but some ideas has been given. It is still on discussion and any opinion/suggestion is welcome on the original topic.

Up to now, it could be on 2013 Summer, in Central Europe ( Germany or Netherlands) somewhere like in the WZZRD Gaming Café.

While sauntering on Youtube, I found some recent CPM Trickjumping clips and I want to share them with you.

The two first are fastcaps done on all the maps from the WCP mappack (24 maps) without using weapons and then using them. I`ll sum up the outcomes here.

It is now time to talk to you about Ferdinand `cytyy` List and his job. You probably know him through a map called Fluorescent [ct3ctf2b]. But he has done many other maps for Quake 3 (including CPMA) or Quake Live.

You can browse all his creations thanks to his portfolio: Ferdinand List - Portfolio.

He is currently working a new CPM CTF map and he needs your help for feedbacks. (Download)

You can follow him on Twitter.

Many of you know the maps such "shaman&dragon", "Chlorophyl", "Unbalanced" and "Rushed". But do you know anything about the author?

He is Philipp `acid` Geulen. He has just released his new CPM 1v1 map called "Interstellar Waltz".

`This news might make the CPM crowd happy: Today I finished a completely new duel map using a very neat texture set from Hourences. Size is small, so gameplay should be fast paced. Expect a warsow release within the next weeks.`

After a long night of CPM action the Kenya Maps Cup is over. However, when the dust settled, only one remained victorious. We had some great, entertaining games, but experienced also a few difficulties. The brackets were shit, one of the admins was cheating and the servers were lagging. Quite a few upsets were seen, as the Bulgarian powerhouses wuxia and Nzr0 shared the 5th place and LuGia was knocked out in just 4 maps.

± Full Results
1st place: rokky
2nd place: gaiia
3rd place: Terifire
4th place: moonsh1ne
5th place: wuxia / Nzr0
7th place: Persepolis / 34
9th place: has3 / LaNcER / HellTiger / lisk
13th place: VitunLuGia / Sylver_ / sjck / biacz

I would like to thank all of the participants and the spectators for taking part. Special thanks go to Level Up TV and the shoutcasters nVc, Drexciyian and nekon, HellTiger, blaze and myT.

After realizing how rewarding hosting a cup can be, we will definitely host more CPM cups in the future, so stay tuned!
