Doom II Events/Leagues List

1994
Dwango (hosted by the Dwango firm)
> Location: Online
> Notes: Dwango (Dial-up Wide Area Network Gaming Operation) was a gaming BBS (dial-up bulletin board) located in urban areas with servers that could be used to play Doom II. At it's peak there were about 26 Dwango servers in operation around the country. I'm guessing this BBS started in 1994.
1995
Deathmatch '95 - Oct 1995
> Location: Qualifying rounds were played online using Dwango, for the final rounds the best player from each BBS was flown to Redmond, Washington to compete.
> Notes: This tournament was part of Microsoft Judgement Day, hosted by Microsoft and Dwango. Only players who used the Dwango service were eligible, and Doom II legends such as NoSkill and Chunkk probably weren't eligible. In addition to Doom II, Doom and Heretic were also played in this tournament. Doom II was played in the semi-finals and Heretic was played in the finals.
Heretic Duel Results:
1. Dennis 'Thresh' Fong (Berkely)
2. Stoney (Washington)
1996
iFrag Rankings - May 5th, 1996
>Interview
> Location: Online
> Notes: iFrag was a popular tool used to connect Doom II players so they could arrange matches. A player by the name of Doctor Funfrock created a ranking system for players who used iFrag, and as of May 5th, 1996 the players listed above comprised the top five. The event coverage link above links to a page with some short bios of some of the top players.
Rankings:
     1. Kasow
     2. GateKeeper
     3. PVP
     4. Krusty
     5. MaTTaM
iFrag College Tourney - Spring 1996
>Website
> Location: Online
> Notes: In 1996 universities were one of the few places with connections fast enough to play Doom II over the internet, therefore an intercollegiate competition made sense. The tournament consisted of 16 teams of three players each.
Results (gametypes included both duel and 2 vs. 2):
     1. Iowa State University: PVP, Biatch, and Dazed
     2. Washington State University: Sniper, Picard, and Darroch
     3. University of Maryland: Psoriac, Wrayth, MoatMonster/Itchy
     4. Haverford College: Tikiman, Hoser, and Fabe
     5. Villanova University: SoulCrusher, Bastard, and SubNyton
