Former Arena 77 MD, Len Nery, has announced that the winner of the Quake 3 competition, that is taking place at rAge next weekend, will be sent to compete at the Quake Live Competition at Dreamhack in Sweden at the end of November.
The winner’s flight, accommodation and competition entry fee is being sponsored by virus protection provider AVG.
The Quake 3 tournament, that is to take place at rAge this year, was announced by Arena 77 earlier this month. The tournament will kick off on Friday at rAge. Originally planned as a free-for-all random draw competition, the event will now feature player seeding which will be decided in consultation with the competitive gaming community.
Players finishing in the top 15 of the tournament will take home a share of R100,000 worth of prizes sponsored by Intel, Sapphire and ATi.
Players do not have to attend the LAN to play, and anyone with a visitors pass or LAN ticket can enter freely as long as they are registered with LANgames.
Players do not even need to bring computers to enter the competition, as all matches will be played on sponsored machines.
Entrants will however be allowed to bring their own keyboard, mouse, headphones and mouse pad to play on.
The Dreamhack event will see players competing in QuakeLive, a browser based version of Quake 3. For this reason, the Quake 3 tournament is being played on settings very similar to those used in Quake Live.
