waiting to ear some great names :D
One question though - the QuakeLive Championships will be played in double elimination, however the finals in single elimination ... how is that possible? I mean, there's gotta be someone advancing from the lowerbracket to the finals and hence that player should have a disadvantage compared to the one coming from the upperbracket? Hum... =)
John Carmack and Quake ftw.
This Quakecon is going to be epic !
go SK|Rapha !
