Quake 3 Selected for CPL World Season

Whilst being absolutely nothing to do with this site in general, The CPL has given hope to all gamers out there today with the surprise decision to revert from Quake 4 back to Quake 3.

In an astonishing vote of no confidence in iD's and Raven's latest offering, the people who brought you the Painkiller are now about to bring you Quake 3, arguably the most successful death match game to date.

To quote The CPL:

This decision was made after the following votes were submitted:

The CPL tournament staff - 90% in favor of Quake 3
The CPL world partners - 90% in favor of Quake 3
The CPL 1v1 committee - 85% in favor of Quake 3
The gamers (that voted on the CPL poll) - 80% in favor of Quake 3
The decision to host Quake 3 competitions was made based on existing features in Quake 3 that will enable the CPL to focus on providing the best tournament experience for both competitors and spectators.

In the coming weeks ID software will release the latest of the Quake 4 patches, the one that has been dubbed as the way the game should have been released, adding many gameplay features found in...Quake 3.

So, what next? Will we seeing RTCW or ET replacing counterstrike? Its possibly not too far fetched as George of the CPL has once been quoted as saying it would be his dream to see RTCW at a CPL event.
