Our last Quake Live Duel Masters Championship was in 2014, and since then we’ve upped the ante a little bit. The Quake Live Duel Masters Championship will once again feature known professionals and top Quake Live competitors in an exclusive tournament. Up to thirty-two (32) of the world’s best Quake Live players, hand selected by veteran tournament staff from the open online registration, will face-off in the 1 vs. 1 duel for $25,000 in a double elimination bracket, with each match played in a best-of-five-games format. In the end two competitors will remain and thousands will gather to watch as these two best-of-the-best survivors go head-to-head in a single elimination, best-of-five-games throw-down with a $12,000 check written to the champion.
Competitors can register for the Intel Quake Live Duel Masters online now through April 26th at: quakecon.challonge.com.
