Quakecon have today announced the registration dates for the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory 5v5 tournament. Teams can sign up onsite as of 8 AM, Thursday 3rd August, with registration closing that night at 8pm. Teams will be selected on a first come first served basis.
The tournament will be between only 8 teams. Halving last year’s number of slots. This move could be problematic for both American and European teams alike, with the Quakecon staff also encouraging BYOC players to sign up on the day.
As with last year the map list contains 7 maps played competitively on either side of the pond. The full map list is:
With Quakecon being an event to showcase id’s games, they will be enforcing certain settings so that it is visually appealing. This includes forcing such cvars as r_drawfoliage, r_picmip, r_gama, r_mapoverbrighbits and r_overbrightbits. Quakecon have yet to release the full LAN config.
The tournament structure will be double elimination ensuring each team at least two matches. Matches will be played using the ABBA format.
A side note, Quakecon allows players to compete in multiple competitions, assuming match times don’t clash. This means that players competing in the Enemy Territory 5v5 tournament could chose to sign up for either the Quake 4 1v1 or Quake 4 2v2 tournaments.
