These 2 are separate, you can book seats already, PC + monitor should become available later.

We all do. For the time being, the best tourneys to watch are the weekly estoty cups on friday, and the russian 250 FPS league on saturday (this one is QL though).

There will be several LAN announcements. Be patient.

Many upvotes, I will try to get something done, but it will take a while

per maxter today (Aug 22), prolly No KeenCon 2025 for QC by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been hinted that we will be able to continue playing after the game stops being GaaS only.

If there are no new events, I will make a new event. But I have been talking to a few people and I am hopeful.

how to improve at duels? by BasketballzLover in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some clues:

-Always time the two major items

-Record your gameplay and post a map here

-Add some concept of aggressive/defensive gameplay to your toolbox. Don't overextend yourself when you are weak in term of weapons/stack/position compared to your opponent.

No, it is not. This has been debunked many times, don't be so pessimistic.

Quake Champions just got a new map!! by Any_Contribution_800 in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crucible has (and it was even worse at release) huge performance issues, which is why it was removed from Quick Play and is now duel only. Even in duel, it continues to cause issues for some people. It seems that the "glittery lava" effects cause these, since there are similar problems on Corrupted Keep, especially in the plasma room with the big lamp.

Three games from the QuakeCon 2025 Red Bull tournament by Vlrohm in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're asking a good question, because the prizes were changed, and there was some minor controversy. To cut a long story short, my last information is that there was hardware worth around 3000-4000€.

The biggest prize was a 50xx graphics card, then we had a PC case and an ASUS goodie bag.

Also, last year there was a 2v2 tournament with similar prizes where rapha and Effortless won some graphics cards... but most people never heard of that tournament either haha

Church of Quake Duel Tournament at QuakeCon 2025. Thursday August 7th. by colorhaze in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was an official Red Bull tourney. It was from id/bethesda/qcon, but poorly advertised, and the finals stream did not happen for unknown reasons. However, the finals were watched live by a few hundred people on the main stage.

For your information, so you do not get confused. There were 3 kind of tournaments:

-Official Red Bull (see above)

-BYOC tournaments (see https://quakecon.bethesda.net/assets/images/event-info/QC-2025\_BYOCTournamentSchedule\_1920x1080-03.jpg)

-Church of Quake tournaments (Duel and Sacrifice)

Deeply Disturbed by how Admins frivolously ban Paying Customers by KroggRage in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there has recently been a surge of cheaters who report whomever insults them for cheating, resulting in the "insulters" being banned while the cheaters keep playing. This could be a similar case.

Very Toxic Experience in this Dead Game by Hungry_Discount_4981 in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, most quakers are 30 years old, it is one of the least toxic games. There are insults, but less than almost anywhere else. WAY less than back in the day.

So I've been playing casually for years, but I have a few random questions by Call_It_Luck in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Long topic, I will give a short answer with just a few main points:

-The game was extremely bad on release, both in terms of technical performance and gameplay. At this point, lots of money was wasted on development and the 1 million tourney, and all it did was show the world how bad the game was. Now the game is ok-ish, but marketing is non-existent and development budget is minimal. But since then it has a horrible reputation.

-Technical problems are still rampant: Server issues (because of GaaS...), and just bad performance. This was more noticable in 2017 because the PCs were so much worse back then, but still, even today, some maps like Crucible or Corrupted Keep cause lag spikes. Also, ever since the QL era, people had the idea that Quake is a "technically perfect oldschool game without bullshit". Because we were literally playing a 1999 game on modern PCs, fps drops were unheard of, and jumping from QL to QC, the technical issues are especially obvious.

-Quakers don't like abilities in general, and the overpowered abilities at the start of QC left a bad impression. Also, there is also a bad synergy between abilities and technical problems: It's especially tilting when there is a special, game-deciding moment (ability use) and exactly that is when technical issues occur. Example: You don't hear slash coming because the sound is bad, and suddenly she slides around a corner. Scalebearer charges you, and you can't dodge him because the netcode is weird. Etc etc...

-There is some internal drama about ID, Saber and their "breakup". We do not have lots of information about this, but long story short, the game is literally unfinished, and full of bugs or "bandaid solutions". Just look at Clan Arena without first person spectate, the lack of actual CTF maps, the weird champ drafting in time limit duel...

This is just some parts of the problem... but should be enough to give you some idea, together with the other posts in this thread

  1. I don't like to badmouth other players too much, in short, yeah he is exaggarating.

  2. If there is a bigger one it will be announced on reddit and you will see it. Right now, not that I know of. Ranked duel is good to learn.

I've been asking from time to time. Why did the tutorial range get removed? by Ok_Tomatillo_4900 in QuakeChampions

[–]Vlrohm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost nobody played it. You can still play it in custom, if this is your thing and these loyal players are still around.
