TsN announced yesterday their forthcoming PK Tournament. This provides something for the States-side of the PK community to get its teeth into before the Winter CPL.

All matches will be played on American servers that are agreed upon by both players. If a server cannot be agreed upon, both players will choose a server for their opponents map. In special cases of server disputes, all decisions will be made by TsN staff, in favor of the players.

The tournament will start on Saturday, November 20th, @ 1:00 EST and continue throughout the weekend.

The tournament rules are mostly based on the pkeuro tournament ones, which seem (with the CPL adopting them partly from us also), to have set the standard for duel settings.

Fatal1ty(TM)s new website was launched recently, along with a lot of ABIT based promotion of the new gaming hardware available under the Fatal1ty brand.

You can find the website here: http://www.fatal1ty.com/

The site is heavy on streaming video, of which there are four parts from various sources highlighting the activities of this gamer/brand.

Somewhere under all this is still a successful MP gamer, whos attention, no-doubt, will quickly be turning to focus once again on Painkiller, following his defeat at the Summer CPL, losing to Vo0.

Fatal1tys booth tour still continues, where he was joined recently by another PK player, Zen.

18th November 2004 – Unfortunately we do not have Daniel Garner the hero of the game to unveil but we are extremely pleased to announce the Team Dignitas Painkiller team. Firstly today reptile from Germany joins us and also Ankel from Denmark, who was already in Dignitas playing in the ET/RTCW squad, both players will compete in Painkiller 1v1.

`We have been interested in forming a Painkiller section since the CPL announced the World Tour for 2005. Having already committed our Doom 3 squad to the Winter CPL, which they will attend next month we will unfortunately miss the first World Tour stop for Painkiller. We will for sure have a presence at the world tour stop in Turkey in February and we may also have some more players to add to the team.` said Dignitas Team Manager Michael O’Dell. `reptile joins us today and we welcome him to Team Dignitas. He has played for BOH in Quake III and Doom III and is settling into Painkiller now very nicely.`

`I’m pleased to announce that from now on Painkiller will be the game I’m playing. I always liked the game and now that it has a great future it also seems reasonable to invest time in it.` said Andreas Asmuss aka Ankel.

“I am proud that I can represent Team Dignitas for the World Tour game painkiller” said Deniz Kalkmann aka reptile
