Quake was the first real esport and the release of Quake: Champions is going to provide a huge boost to the franchise’s community, and we are thrilled to be a part of it.

This year’s competitive season will feature a $100,000 prize pool divided between 4v4 Sacrifice mode and 1v1 Duel mode. Full details are below:

SACRIFICE (TEAM) LEAGUE -- SPRING 2018

Registration will open January 1 and will be free to enter.

The league will then begin in February and run through June. The top 4 teams from the league will earn an all expense paid trip to QuakeCon 2018 to play LIVE for the championship!

DUEL (INDIVIDUAL) LEAGUE -- SUMMER 2018

Registration for our individual league will open in May and will be free to enter. Teams are comprised of one individual, but there is no summer school status requirement. Students must have at least been full time in Spring 2018 to be eligible to compete. The regular season begins in June and concludes in July, with the top 8 individual players advancing to QuakeCon 2018 to play LIVE for the championship!

Excited? We are, too!

Get ready for a year of awesome Quake: Champions! We hope that you’re as excited as we are to kick off the season.
