Here we go.. the finale of the DPG CoD4 Winter League 2014! We've got the #1 seed and undefeated Blame Canada facing off against the #2 seed G-Spot Popperz.

Both teams have fought hard this season and had to overcome strong competition in the semi-finals to get here. Blame Canada beat Fire Breathing Rubber Duckies on the tie-breaker map of Toujane after losing on Crossfire and winning on Strike.

G-Spot Popperz beat Triple X in a close contest also on Toujane after winning on Overgrown and losing on Crash.

These teams faced each other in Week 6 on Vacant, with the Canadians coming away with the victory, 13-7. However, G-Spot was missing the #1 draft pick in the league, @D!M3YPOO. Will he make the difference this time and bring it home for @Hottie & Co.? Or will @Vengeance and @Sharpysharp put @Folk on their shoulders and praise him as their glorious leader?

Match time/date: TBD

Map #1 (G-Spot's pick): Crash
Map #2 (Blame Canada's pick): Strike
Map #3 (Tiebreaker): Carentan

This will be a great matchup to watch, good luck to both teams!

First of all, I want to give thanks to everyone in DPG for helping make DPG last this long and continue to last for many more years to come! Thank you especially to our leadership team!

Now on to the big event...

In celebration of DPG's 12th year (January 23rd, 2002 - January 23rd, 2014) as a clan and a community, we will be having a CoD2 event on Saturday, January 25th starting at 3:00 PM EST / 2:00 PM CST / 1:00 PM MST / 12:00 PM Noon PST.

We will be playing on the CAL ruleset/CAL config which some of you have already tried already. It features ready up mode and all that good stuff that your already use to in CoD4 ProMod.

Again, this is for CoD2 and not CoD4. Why CoD2? Because a lot of us were hoping that the winter league would of been CoD2, but Bo felt as though there wasn't enough interest. Maybe we can prove him wrong so that later down the road there will be a CoD2 league. Show your support by showing up!

This will be an all day long tournament that @Bojangles will be providing more info in regards to such as IPs, rules, etc.

If you don't have CoD2, then you can get it for free. Our CAL private server is already configured to allow generated keys unlike the public CoD2 server where you need a legit key.

Simply post here if you can make it. This will be a 5v5 S&D tournament for CoD2.

If for some reason your a big n00b cake that needs help with getting CoD2 then I can personally assist you. You have up until the day before of the anniversary event to get help, but I would advise not waiting until the end. If you choose to be a gondu and wait until the day of the anniversary event for help with getting CoD2 then I will ignore your request completely. If you ask me on TS, I will just move you to the GONDU channel.

Hoping for a good turnout. Long live DPG!

EDIT - Forgot to mention that this tournament will feature prizes for the winning team! The prizes will be various steam games to be announced only after the event is over. If for any reason everyone magically already has these games then I guess you can go boil an egg and suck a tomato in the corner, and celebrate!

Fresh off the success of our first ever DPG league, I've decided to get us going for another one. I know I had kicked around the idea of us doing CoD2, but unfortuanately I don't believe the interest is there for us to do this and have consistant attendance. Sad.. but hey, at least we get to play SOMETHING

So without further delay, I present to you:

DPG CoD4 S&D Winter League!

Now, for the details (some of these can be up for discussion..)

- 5v5 League
- 6 players per team
- 6 teams minimum, but I am hoping we can field 8 this time!
- This league will be 6 weeks in length.. a little shorter due to something important happening in March (wink, wink)
- Live draft of the teams that everyone can watch on my stream
- Same rules will apply as for the last league (see the rules here: http://www.thadpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18138)
- I am possibly looking to have 6+ brand new captains take the stage and lead the way
- Every match will be shoutcasted by yours truly and @MISTERoldShadow or a special guest shoutcaster!
- Sixx will not be playing, again. lol..
- League schedule is as follows:

• Sign-ups close Friday, January 3rd
• Live Draft will be week of January 6th-10th
• Week 1 will be week of January 20th-24th
• Week 6 (last regular season week) will be week of February 24th-28th
• Playoffs will be the weeks of March 3rd-7th and March 10th-14th

I thought about starting the league right now in a few weeks, but with the holidays coming up on us.. it just wouldn't work as we'd have to take like a 2 week break on the league and I would hate for that to cause people to not play in the future.

@Vengeance I need to speak with you as I have a little project you and I can do for the live draft

I will be posting the sign-up thread in the next day in the CoD4 forum and it will be linked here. For now.. you guys can post comments about the league, i.e. what you are looking forward to, what you would like to see be done differently, etc.

Also, if you are interested in being a captain for a team, please let me know. I have a few people in mind, but would love to see those people step up and want to do it. Ask any of the previous 6 captains.. it takes a special person to do it correctly!

As always, I organize this stuff for you guys to have a great time and also to get to know other DPG you might not otherwise hangout with. Let's keep this in mind for the league and have a fun time this upcoming season!

Official Sign-up Thread is here: http://www.thadpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18954

A good group of you guys already have got this game and for those who do have it you all seem to enjoy playing it. So far I haven't seen a single person who is not enjoying it.

Right now for me this is my favorite game that I play.

Best of all it is free!!! You can get it off of Steam.

Check out this video of the gameplay. Its a slower paced modern warfare theme game that has an emphasis on tactical movement. Needless to say the game has a lot of replay-ability and fun factor.



I hate to say it, but its more fun than some CoD games that costs $60 plus $15 for DLC.

DPG has 2 servers for this already thanks to @Kahne.

They are:

DPG Chicago Server 1
66.225.232.196
(12 slot server)

DPG Chicago Server 2
66.225.232.197
(24 slot server)

I have made a B3 request for this game on the official B3 forums. Hopefully we can get some support for this soon, but in the mean time there is in an in game admin panel, and I also have a way to ghetto rig PB to do auto pb announcements possibly like I did a long time ago with CoD2, but will have to get with Khane in regards to that.

So come at least tryout this game! You have nothing to lose other than a little hard drive space, and time since it won't cost you a penny!

See you on the servers!

We've got two matchups that have major playoff implications coming up in Week 8 on Strike!

Team Swamp Donkey vs CRAYOLA

The winner of this match will solidify the #1 Spot for the League Playoffs. The loser will go on to play MILF Hunterz in a tough matchup in the Semi-Finals. CRAYOLA won their earlier matchup on Crash 13-7. However this time Leuch will be hopefully play the entire game for TSD as he will try to match Sharpy scope for scope. This will be definately the best competitive matchup of the week and I hope everyone can catch the Shoutcast!

Gondu Slayers vs Beating Cheeks

The winner of this match will grab the final spot for the League Playoffs. The lucky winner also gets to be matched up against the winner of our other featured match! Beating Cheeks won the previous matchup on Crash, 13-10 in a well-fought matchup. We saw Bones show up with a silenced M4, in which Lethalxtc responded with a silenced AK-47. Maximus also was a factor by clucthing 2 rounds.. but will he have it in him again on Strike? This is going to be a really fun match to watch and with the playoffs on the line.. we can't wait to see what happens!

------------------------

Make sure you guys tune in for the Shoutcasts of these matchups as they happen! I will do my best to update you on when they are.. can't wait to see you all there! And don't think I forgot about Hit Squad vs MILF Hunterz, I want Hit Squad to get their first win of the season.. we are all pulling for you!
