With the salvation draft tournament well under way, I'm going to let you know that the semi finals will be played today. For those of you how do not know The Salvation draft tournament is a team death match affair and for anyone who does not know. Draft means 10 captains are picked before the games begin, these are the best team death match players on the scene. After all sign ups are complete a live show was hosted where the captains took turn picking players (school yard anyone?), this format offers the most even teams and hopefully the tightest games.
          The games begin at 18.30 cet and if you're interested in watching and don't have quake installed you can check out the live stream over at http://www.twitch.tv/quakephil
