The stage is set for what is shaping up to the best painkiller tournament to-date! It would seem that the CPL have learned from the mistakes of Turkey (namely lack of stable internet) and have already posted preliminary seeds, brackets, and schedule. Also judging from the pictures coming from check6s and 4Ks sites, TsN has all their equipment safely transported out to Spain and setup to hopefully give us the best coverage so far.

The Action kicks off at 6am/Midday/1pm (EST,UK,EURO) According to TsNs site. So why not head over there and check it out.

I have just arrived at the Barcelona airport, I will stand here for 1 hour because I am waiting for charlye, a PK player from Germany that will share room with me.

Once we get to the hotel and meet the players I will continue this coverage.

18:00

I have just entered the BYOC area and meet some people here, although there are not many people here already, the main players are just coming.

21:00

Almost everyone is here but SK guys, fatality and zen. They all are warming up for tomorrow. The BYOC is running smooth so far. The seeds will be ready tomorrow morning. I have to say that the “Edificio Forum” that is the building where this CPL is being held is quite big and beauty. I will upload some photos tomorrow.

It`s only 1 day left to the CPL WT Spain event in Barcelona!
I therefore took the opportunity to feel the pulse on two gamers from the swedish bootcamp, Ztrider from e-star and Radical from team VIP.

Hopefully this could give you a hint of what their expectations are and how they feel in general for the event. Other than that some general and personal questions were asked as well..

The interviews could be find on www.team-vip.se.

In order to help keep PKEURO updated with the latest and greatest Painkiller news out there, we’ve decided to open up the posting of Front page news to all members. To submit a news posting, simply login and click the add/edit News link on the right hand side bar.

We open access to the front page with certain constraints in that if we feel a news post is either irrelevant, abusive, or simply “not really that important to the community”, we reserve the right to delete or move the news post to the Minor news section on the right hand side bar.

PKEURO appreciates any news posted by our members and will try its best to make fair decisions on this subject. We look forward to your first (and hopefully many) news posts 🙂

Note, this does not mean we will be not updating the news ourselves anymore. Just that we feel it’s time to open the front page to more writers.

Mortal has kindly emailed pkeuro with a new waypoint file for PK++ bots for the DM_Sacred map. As you may be aware, along with PK++ came a new bot system allowing offline play vs computer controlled players. This system requires the use of waypoint files to lead the bot around the map. The PK++ team have not had the time to optimise the waypoint files for many of the maps we all love to play and appreciate any help provided by the public.

You can download the file (rard) provided by Mortal HERE. Let us know in the comments if you think this is an improvement on the current setup for DM_sacred.

Again, lots of thanks to Mortal for his efforts.
