FACEIT will operate the official Quake Pro League for Quake Champions , with weekly competition taking place between August 2019 and August 2020.

The 20 chosen players will first compete at QuakeCon 2019 in July to determine the global ranking.

Quake Champions launched in 2017, with more than $2.1M USD in prizing awarded to date, according to Esports Earnings.

Tournament organizer and platform FACEIT announced today that it will host the official Quake Pro League for id Software’s Quake Champions, with a year-long season that will take place from August 2019 to August 2020.

FACEIT will choose 20 top Quake Champions players—10 total from North and South America, and 10 picked between Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States—and pit them against each other in weekly online competitions via the FACEIT platform. The broadcasts will be filmed from the FACEIT Studio in Earlsfield, London.

id Software’s annual QuakeCon convention will bookend the season at both the start and finish. At QuakeCon 2019, which will be held from July 25-28 in Grapevine, Texas, the 20 chosen players will compete to earn a global ranking ahead of the Quake Pro League start in August.

Offline minor and major events will be held in November 2019, February 2020, and May 2020 ahead of the World Championship at QuakeCon 2020 next summer. The free-to-play first-person shooter has introduced a new game mode, Timed Duel, for Quake Pro League competition.

“Quake is part of the bedrock of FACEIT. All founders of the company were heavily involved in the Quake III competitive scene, and it’s the title that first ignited our passion for esports,” said Michele Attisani, FACEIT co-founder and Chief Business Officer, in a release. “Competitive Quake birthed one of the very first online esports communities, and we’re thrilled to be a part of this groundbreaking new league and to help shape the future of this iconic esport. We have huge plans for the broadcast from our innovative studio in London and we can’t wait to bring fans around the world a whole year of exhilarating Quake competition.”

Quake Champions first debuted in early access ahead of QuakeCon 2017, where the Quake World Championship awarded a $1M total prize pool between Duel and Sacrifice events. Last year’s QuakeCon tournaments dropped the total prize pool to $200K, but there have also been several Quake Champions tournaments at DreamHack events over the last two years. Esports Earnings reports that more than $2.1M has been awarded in total prizing to date.
