Drop all of your 'other plans' for this week, stock up with food and drinks ... and get ready for the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship Quake Live!

Expect mind-blowing Quake Live duel action brought to you by the charming ESL TV commentators James '2gd' Harding and Joseph 'Joe' Miller most likely alongside of great interviews by the head of the Intel Extreme Masters Michal 'Carmac' Blicharz.
Can the probably strongest among the underdogs fox, surprisingly the only swede who made it to the event, or the long-time lone representative for italy in terms of quake stermy, convince and make it out of their groups into the playoffs?
Will the eastern european star-players av3k, Cooller and Cypher along with the overseas competitors DaHanG and rapha dominate as expected or will strenx be able to exceed his performance at the European Championship Finals a couple of weeks ago?
Did Jibo prepare at all this time and what about chance, dkt and griffin, who are not to be underestimated?
Find all the answers and a lot more, this week!
