After some hard work by our technical crew, we now have pleasure in announcing that almost all of our videos are now up in the QuadV On Demand section of the site.

You can now relive those incredible games from all of the WCG Grand Finals including the epic maps between Again and fnatic in the CS 1.6 Grand Final and yes, I did say BOTH maps. You wont find the second map anywhere else either as the game had to be moved on to a different stage to complete it after map 1 took too long to complete.

It is also a landmark day for QuadV. Almost exactly 1 year ago, we took a new site and decided to open it up for the first time and allow people to register and enjoy the interaction. Today we can announce that we have surpassed the 50,000 registered user mark and we would like to thank each and every one of you for your support since our launch in early 2007 and throughout 2009 in what has been a challenging financial year.

We hope you enjoyed our coverage and enjoy reliving it through the VOD's.

The bad news is that WCG 2009 is over for another year, but the good news is that you will soon be able to watch it all again, lag free on our video on demand section!

Over the next few days, we will be adding all of the finals and the CS games we covered during the 1.6 tournament.

We are also looking for feedback on the streams. We know they werent great and although you have to appreciate the issues with streaming from so far away in China, we do want to hear how you got on with them, particularly the main stage stream we offered via our Partner Justin.TV.

Well done to everyone who attended and special mention for our tech crew who were life savers all week and allowed us to stream even if KLM Cargo didnt!

Tune in from 11am local time, that's 4am CET, for Counter-Strike, Warcraft 3, Starcraft and much, much more!

Today will see our entire crew, both commentators and producers and technicians heading off to Chengdu in China in order to prepare for live coverage from the World Cyber Games 2009 Grand Finals next week. You can follow live updates of QuadV's journey by following the various Twitter accounts being used:

quadv, quadvtech, paulchaloner, iaincole, corincole, cabe_bedlam

We will also be trying to do as many "Behind the Scenes" video blogs as possible so keep an eye on our YouTube Channel for updates.

You have 5 days of coverage to look forward to, starting on Wednesday with the opening ceremony and the first match from the tournament for Warcraft 3 where Sky will be in action.

From then on, we will be giving you not one, but two streams of live coverage from the finals. On stream one, you will find all of the matches played on the main stage, including all of the finals for all games. On the second stream we will be providing you with live coverage of CS 1.6 throughout the 4 days of the tournament with a sprinkling of Starcraft when time allows ;)

The full line up of commentators is as follows:

Paul "ReDeYe" Chaloner
Stuart "TosspoT" Saw
Matt "A_Spec" Hoving
Jonas "bsl" Vikan
Kevin "Rotterdam" Van Der Kooi
Nick "Tasteless" Plott
Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski

These fine people will be supported by our tech crew of Gregg "Cabe" Bond, Iain "Iain" Cole and Corin "Corin" Cole as well as support from our technical director back at base Oliver Aldridge.

Full coverage schedules will be placed on the site on Tuesday evening (uk time) with a breakdown of what you can expect on both streams.

For now, wish our crew a safe trip to Chengdu and hang out in the IRC channel on quakenet #quadv for updates as and when they happen.

It is with regret that we announce officially today that Jay Atkins has left QuadV with immediate effect. Jay has been with us as one of the founding commentators at QuadV when he moved over from the now defunct TSN.

Jay put in a tremendous amount of work over the last 2 and half years and played a huge role in taking our coverage forward both technically and from a commentary point of view. He has been a key part of our online team and attended numerous tournaments with us and will be missed by the whole crew.

He leaves on good terms however with the door always open if he should ever wish to return. Jay will be taking up a new position with our friends at Gamesports which offers him a unique opportunity that was simply too good to turn down. We would never stop any of our staff from trying to better themselves and thus, all be it reluctantly, have allowed Jay to move on to his next challenge.

On behalf of all of the crew here at QuadV, we wish him the very best with his new venture.
