Quake Live competitors the world over will battle for dominance in a series of tournaments at QuakeCon 2013.
The Intel Quake Live Duel Invitational Masters Championship will feature notable professionals and top Quake Live competitors in an exclusive tournament.

Each match will be played in a best-of-three-games format. The remaining two contestants will duke it out in best-of-five games throw-down to determine the winner of a $9,000 cheque.
In the Quake Live Clan Arena 3v3 Open, up to 32 participants will battle in three-versus-three competitions in a single-elimination bracket and best-of-three-games format. The top two teams will advance to the best-of-five Grand Final. Victorious teams will be awarded $6,000, including $3,000 for the team of champions.
The 20

In addition to vying for the $1,000 champion prize, players will also compete in 16-player free-for-all matches, qualifying 32 players for the single-elimination bracket. Each match is played in a best-of-three games format.
