The ESL Knockout Series were once known for entertaining matches, Quake 4 was the game back than with participants such as k1llsen and cymozz competing in the final match in the GIGA studios in Cologne.

Today, the Knockout Series receives a little rebrush and will be played as one day cup organized for all the participants in ESL's Amateur series, the EAS. The EAS is the next division after the ESL Pro Series in Germany, it's also the place to qualify for the next Pro Series season.

To attract more German players to compete in the EAS the ESL will hold regular cups specified for the participants of this league, and today we are going to start with the first out of many, hopefully successful cups: The first ESL Knockout Series for Quake Live with upto 16 participants!

As participant of the EAS, you can sign-up until 18.00 CET today!

The check in will be open from 18.00 CET until 18.30 CET. Afterwards, a Free-For-All sign up is open to fill available slots.

As in the previous event the first map will be set and all games but the final will be played best of three in a knockout tournament (single elimination). The loser of the first map decides the second map and if needed, the loser of the second map picks the deciding third map.


There will also be a German HQ livestream powered by Teamoxid and own3d.tv. swine, drago and chosen will be hosting the show live from 19.00 CET.
