It's time! The day has finally come for the
Quake World Championship at
QuakeCon 2017. Players from all around the world will come to
Dallas, Texas for a chance to compete for a
$1 million prize pool. In the last past years (with the declining of Quake at the e-sports main reflector) players have been competing mostly for legacy and glory only, and even one French man said that the game was too old already that no one had nothing to prove anymore. Well, now this is a whole new game and a whole new field, the big money is back and along with it is also the big and fierce competition. This also will be the first
Quakecon to feature the new Quake title from id:
Quake Champions, some strange version of the long awaited Quake 5, and pretty much the last opportunity for the Quake franchise to get back to the big stages of competitive gaming.
From August 24 to August 27 2017 at the "GAYLORD" Texan Resort Hotel and Convention Center

I'll start with my predictions:
Duel:
1st: rapha or cooller
2nd: rapha or cooller
3rd: Tox (if he doesn't play like shit like in the regionals) or av3k
4th: Tox, vo0, strenx or k1llsen
Sacrifice:
I do believe that the stack of NOTOFAST is gonna win the tournament, so I'm just gonna cheer for whoever maganes to fuck them up, main candidate of course being Team Liquid, then The defendants and maybe 2z
