The QuakeCon Open – Fri, Aug 10 – Sun, Aug 12
QuakeCon is known for the amazing Quake competitions, and this year, the Quake Champions QuakeCon Open takes everything to next level.

However, this year’s competition also has a bonus round… With a twist!

This intense Duel competition kicks off on Sunday, August 12. All of the Quake Champions tournament action can be watched live in the esports Arena at QuakeCon, or by tuning in online here.
