Tune in at 9am CDT/10am EST to watch the first day of Quake Con Finals!

The competitions continues on the 11th and 12th where the eventual 2023 Champion will be crowned

Will be streamed on https://www.twitch.tv/quake and https://www.youtube.com/@Quake

If you aren’t familiar with QuakeChampions, it’s a free to play PC shooter and, in my opinion, the current best fps Esport on the market.

    Its really too bad Quake Champions didn’t turn out better. I loved QII back in the day. QIII was okay but it never really hit quite like QII did.

      I suppose it depends who you ask. I’ve gone back and played the older Quake’s but much prefer Quake Champions personally. But to me, all quake is good quake

        I haven’t been playing any quake recently, but am glad to learn about the championship from this post… thanks for making it.

        Any advice on where to catch up on the scene and who the favorites and rivalries are? Or are the commentators doing a good job setting context to for noobs like me?

          Id say tune in rn and/or tomorrow/Saturday morning.

          Here’s a pic of the results for the previous season. The bottom 8 have to play today against 8 Challenger players.

          The top 8 in QPL get a bye today and get to skip to tomorrow.

          In terms of rivalries, the biggest rn is probably Raisy v Rapha. Raisy has come 2nd place to Rapha countless times by now. Sadly even when Raisy wins, he ends up coming 2nd to K1llsen or Vengeur haha. I’m rooting for him this weekend.
