Hi Michał, thank you for accepting an invite to The QUAKE PUB!

Can you please introduce yourself a bit, what is your gaming history, and what is HotSeat_gg? 

Hi! Thanks for having me.

I`m Twitch streamer known as 'SaintNoMore', for 4 about years organizing and supporting community events like tournaments, leagues and LANs.

My gaming history started many years ago - when I was 4 my first played games were Doom and Hexen, which I still love.

As for the Quake series, I was active player of Quake Live`s Deathmatch, in other Quake games I was playing only single modes (and I regret I wasn`t playing duel before).

One day my older brother showed me Quake Champions and I loved it, so on one of the ComicCon events I`ve tried to compete in QC tournament - with no spectacular results, but the idea of handling on that kind of events made me wonder "how about organize this by myself?" - and I did it!

First of "major" events was Polish Championship of QC with LAN finals in 2019, now - we`re finishing first season of Polish Quake League. How crazy it sounds, that every event motivates me to futher actions.

That`s why we ran HotSeat - with  Tomasz "Terror" Pilipiuk (Warcraft 3 pro-player) - broadcast studio, where we organize and broadcast esports events for "less popular" games like Warcraft 3 or Quake Champions.

For now we finished first season of Polish Warcraft League and so far Polish Quake League, but it`s just the beginning.

HotSeat_gg is doing what I personally consider one of the best national leagues in Quake Champions that is now live. How do you manage to get players to play on time on selected days?

Were there some kind of rules about broadcast scheduling as you opened sign ups?

Thanks, it means a lot!

PQL`s schedule is divided for two stages: groups and finals.

Group stage is divided for rounds, one week to play for each.

Elite players had to play on broadcasts only, Gold and Silver divisions were optional, but we`ve made polls where the community could vote on matches which they wanted to watch.

Mostly the good cooperation with Polish Quakers was the key to making it off.

I was surprised how good and fun it was to watch matches in the Polish Quake League.

Are there any special players you like to follow in every single division? 

I love to watch "underdogs"!

In Silver Division I loved to watch  flippek - it`s a classic story "from zero to hero".

In Gold Division we have many talented players, but most fun-to-watch were
 FragsDay and  rusher I think.

It won`t be surprise if I tell you that I love to watch  phaze from Elite Division. That guy is nuts! But still I`m excited for every  Flowie71 and  NOX matches.

Finals of Gold Division will be broadcasted in cooperation with the Polish Office of Bethesda, how are negotiations going with them?

Pretty well!

We can confirm Gold Division Finals broadcast on official polish Bethesda channel

2nd December, We`re starting 6:00 PM CET.

What are your plans for the Elite division?

Guys are just finishing basic groups, any surprises or plans you can share with us? 

Best two players of each group will compete in Division Finals, where the best 4 will fight for top prizes.

Two players of each group with the lowest score will contest in playoffs - 2 loses equals fall to the lower division.

The most interested thing is that we`ll broadcast playoffs and finals from our HotSeat Studio with whole casters crew!

That sounds great, looking forward to see what you can do with Studio setup! Have Fun!

You are doing all the shoutcasting in Polish (I don't mind, as I do understand and I love PL cast and boys are doing a great job in it), have you ever thought about outsourcing the English stream?

With 2nd season of Polish Quake League we want to bring many improvements and community`s suggestions - english cast is one of them, but the patience is the key :)

I know, there are plenty of great players in Poland.

Do you see any chance to open or expand your league for other nations?
Maybe V4? :-) (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary)

That`s interesting idea!

I`m thinking about something spectacular and larger than PQL`s format, but for now I`ll keep it in secret :P

Thank you for your time, have fun on Thursday, we will be watching!

Thank you very much! Love and support for QUAKE PUB! Cheers!
