“I'm very happy that I got a chance to join Virtus.pro. They are an organisation I've been admiring for a long time. It feels like all managing staff are on the highest level of professionalism. The key to VP's success are the people who are building it. The upcoming year is filled with numerous Quake tournaments, so it will be a crucial period for my cooperation with Virtus.pro. I'm willing to work hard to repeat my previous years' success in Quake. I want to stand on the podium of one of the most important championships”

“Last week we had to accept the fact that Alexey “Cypher” Yanushevsky will be unable to represent us in QuakeCon 2017. For us, Quake Champions is a high-priority discipline, so Machei “Av3k” Kshuvosky will not only participate under our banner in duel format, but also become Cypher's teammate in 4 x 4 games. I am sure about his potential, so I would like to congratulate our polish fans – the ranks of national polish e-sports legends who represent Virtus.pro have grown!”.

However, players who previously redeemed a Closed Beta key will be able to continue playing Quake Champions in free-to-play mode, only via Bethesda.net. These players will play on the same servers as Champions Pack owners and have the option of upgrading to the Champions Pack or buying additional Champions at any time. Players new to Quake Champions will need to either buy the Champions Pack or wait until free-to-play mode launches at a later date.

Quake Champions’ newest playable Champion, DOOM Slayer, comes straight from the depths of hell to the Arenas, wielding his pounding fists and an unceasing thirst for blood. Fans of DOOM can run amok using DOOM Slayer’s active ability, Berserk – smashing enemies into bloody piles of gibs with his bare hands. DOOM Slayer’s passive ability will also be familiar to DOOM fans; reach new heights with Double Jump, which allows the DOOM Slayer to jump a second time while in mid-air.

New Customization Options: New options include new Champion skin sets and weapon shaders
In-Game Voice Chat

There are few things new players should make sure to remember when applying for House of Quake:
1. All players should double check if their SteamID is entered for Quake Live.
2. Clan leaders, after creating clan, must create squad and add players from clan to that particular squad.

Failure to follow any of these instructions will result in your team not being able to join the league.
