"Quake is in the DNA of
DreamHack, it exists both in its past and future. And as we head towards this fall, it’s time to get ready for the
Quake Champions action to kick off in a huge way. In this case, that’s to the tune of
$75,000 at
DreamHack Denver and
$350,000 awaiting you at
DreamHack Winter. With the time ticking down to DreamHack Denver already, we’re ready now to get ready for our qualifiers. They start already on
September 23rd so get ready to compete in our open qualifiers.
Each open qualifier will be double elimination, with a broadcast live from our studio in
