r/Quakeworld

I took a look at the qwleague website and was sorely disappointed to see the whole website was stiched together with AI ""art"". The avatars, covers, and even the damn website front page was AI slop. Maybe there was a few that are human made, but from what I can tell, its all AI. For a website that wants donations to stay afloat, I see no reason to when it cant even use game sprites or something if you really couldnt commision a real artist. Im supposed to be proud of unlocking AI generated images by reaching certain milestones in the league? Hell no. You lot can do so much better than this. You have done so much better than this previously. I expect better than this.

The recently started matchmaking service https://www.qwleague.com (open Beta) has announced that they will be running what will likely be the main 4on4 tournament this fall (probably replacing https://www.thebig4.se which ran last season). More info to follow in due time.
