North American TDM is back! Team Deathmatch has taken a back seat to Duel recently, but the
Cyber Sports Network is set to make some changes with the
Everyone Must Die $2,200 Duel and TDM Cup series!
Classic 4v4 Team Deathmatch is back with a bang, boasting a total prize pool of
$1,000 USD, which will hopefully ensure the participation of America's best! - who knows which classic players may dust off their mouse mats and mount a TDM comeback? If TDMs not your thing, theres even more personal glory (and cash) to win in the Everyone Must Die
$1,200 USD Duel event.
rapha has been cleaning up the duel competitions as of late, but
ZeRo4 and
CZM have been quickly regaining their old form, and up-and-comer
ziel poses a larger threat with each cup.
The prize pools are larger than any North American event in recent memory; will this be enough to bring back other top-NA duel talent such as DaHanG, Vo0, chance, dkt, and griffin? What teams will form to compete in TDM? We hope this event will spotlight the very best players in the QuakeLive scene!

Hopefully going to put together some nice production value for the streams, stuff you're not used to seeing like player cards and stats. Also looking to get as many classic QL commentators involved as possible, so we'll see who we can rope behind the mic :)
