Most likely one of the last Quake3 1v1 tournament is taking place this summer, at ES World Cup 2005 in Paris, France. The staff of Ligarena selected 24 star players to compete versus each other in this tournament. Some very surprising and old school players has been selected and will be fighting each other from the 6th until the 10th of July 2005 for a first place worth $6000.

ESWC first announced that they would invite 16 players, but now they decided to invite 24 players, which gives the opportunity for more players to compete at this tournament. The 24 selected players are pretty surprising; new and old school players has been selected.


The invite list looks very impressive with some familiar faces which could lead to some very interesting matches. Unfortunately there are also a few big names missing, for example ZeRo4. The biggest surprise on the list is the well known German player sl1nger, who was very successful in TDM during the primetime of the ClanBase EuroCup. He managed to win the EuroCup three times in a row, with Unmatched (EC2 & EC3) and also with SK Gaming (EC4).

Note: All the players still need to confirm that they are able to attend the event.
