Quake World Championships Finals at QuakeCon – $1 million dollar prize pool

The countdown has begun to when the best professional Quake Champions players in the world will battle in the inaugural Quake World Championships Finals at QuakeCon in Dallas, TX, starting on August 24th. At stake – their share of the $1 million dollar prize pool and a place amongst the legends of esports’ founding franchise.

“We’re proud to be partners for the inaugural Quake World Championships and help bring Quake back to the forefront of the sports world where it belongs,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Gaming, Radeon Technologies Group, AMD. “We’ve enjoyed a fantastic collaboration with Bethesda across many projects. Working together on the Quake World Championships is one of the most exciting opportunities, where industry-leading technology can shine and our support of esports can grow through the incredible popularity of competitive Quake.”
