This Sunday on QuadV we proudly present a Source double bill. First off we will see Team Germany take on Team Finland in the ClanBase NationsCup. With both teams having a solid roster of talent to choose from it will be interesting to see which one of these behemoths of European Source can come out on top.

And that's not all as we also bring you the week 5 UKeSA clash between Reason-Gaming and FM Toxic. With both teams recently restructuring their line-ups it will be interesting to see how Toxic fair against a Reason that recently came back against Crack Clan to force a draw in week 4 on Tuscan.

Join Jay and perhaps a special guest or two for what promises to be an epic evening of top flight EU CS:S. Starting at 18:45 GMT (19:45 CET).

We recently had an opening for a new News Poster here at QuadV.com after we parted company with our previous writer Luke "Baldrick" Cotton. Luke did a great job for us over the last 18 months but recently and rightly, he has been concentrating on running Crack Clan and had little time to devote to QuadV.

As such, we are now looking for a new News Poster/Press Officer for the company. The job role isnt all that taxing, but does require someone with clear english, the ability to write under time pressure deadlines and to post out on community sites relevent to the games we are covering. It is not a paid position but does come with a few nice perks here and there. It is not a full time role either, requiring possibly 2-5 hours per week maximum to write and post news for us on our site and put together a dozen or so press releases throughout the year.

If you feel you have the ability and time to give in a friendly eSport company, then please send a small CV or description of your talents to moc.vdauq@sboj or contact moc.vdauq@eyeder directly to discuss further.

Good luck!

Tonight on QuadV TV1 we see more Call of Duty 4 action in the UKeSA Premiership as ButtonBashers and Reason Gaming go head to head.

Both teams are fighting for a place at the LAN finals just announced in May at an as yet undisclosed location in London. The top 4 teams within the league will go forward to that event with the Semi-Finals and Finals taking place on LAN.

That means tonight will be all about avoiding Dignitas in the Semi-Finals. Assumption draws me to a standard format for a league play-off where 1st plays 4th and no one will be wanting that match.

UKeSA Premiership action returns to QuadV this Wednesday with a clash between Team Dignitas and Team Coolermaster. With valuable points at steak in this UKeSA Premiership clash both teams will be looking to bolster their positions in week four of UKeSA play. With Dignitas now seemingly over their recent shaky patch it appears to be business as usual. With Red and Frankstah coming into the outfit to strengthen an already solid line-up will TCM be able to keep up with the ferocity that Dignitas will probably bring on the T side of Tuscan?.

Join Jay and special guest Luke 'Kritikal' Green from 20:45 GMT for what is sure to be a memorable game. Hankering for some CS:S before then? be sure to check out the Week Four clash between Crack Clan and Reason Gaming as it is now OnDemand.

Tonight QuadV brings you the ESL Team Fortress 2 Masters final. Crack Clan and Team Dignitas go head to head and toe to toe on both Granary and Well in order to secure a first place prize of €750.-.

Both teams have had what seems to have been an easy run towards this final with Crack Clan losing zero games and Dignitas only 1. Tune into QuadV TV2 at 21:00cet with A_Spec and Beta for all the play by play of this thrilling match-up.
