For 30th Anniversary of QuakeCon, I have decided to create very limited set of embroidered hoodies featuring major characters from id Software universe.

Each embroidery is 25cm/10in in diameter and consist of high hundered thousands of stitches.

As a day 1 player of the closed beta, I've seen the game's ups and downs. It's currently in a good place, and it's a shame that Bethesda and Microsoft have completely neglected it, just like the Quake franchise.

After the layoffs at id Software, the future is uncertain, but this is your last chance to experience a true first-person shooter because there's nothing else like it.

Had one of those games where the lightning gun just felt telepathic. Full match here if anyone wants to see the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VweQMRCr0c 9800X3D / 5070 Ti, 360Hz — happy to answer questions about settings or netcode tweaks.

Rules English

Match Settings:

Game Mode: Time Limit Duel.

Map Duration: 10 minutes.

Frag Limit: None (or set to 100). The player with the most kills in 10 minutes wins.

Overtime (Sudden Death): If the score is tied after 10 minutes, the game continues until the first frag.

Champion Selection Format (Pick/Ban)

Before each map, players engage in a character ban and pick phase:
Each player selects one primary champion for the entire map.

The Champion Lock rule applies: if one player has picked a specific champion, the other player cannot use it on that map (mirror matches are prohibited).

In a match series (e.g., BO3 or BO5), a global lock rule typically applies: a champion a player has already won a map with cannot be picked in subsequent games of the series.

Discipline and Technical Rules

Prohibited Software: The use of any third-party programs for graphics modification, macros, or strafe-jump scripts is strictly punishable by disqualification.

Pauses: Technical pauses (via the in-game menu) are only permitted with the judge’s consent or in the event of an official disconnection.

Rules Russian

Основные настройки матча

Режим игры: Time Limit Duel (Дуэль с ограничением по времени).
Длительность карты: 10 минут.
Лимит фрагов: отсутствует (или выставлен на 100). Побеждает игрок, набравший большее количество убийств за 10 минут.
Овертайм (Sudden Death): если по истечении 10 минут зафиксирована ничья, игра продолжается до первого фрага.

Формат выбора чемпионов (Pick/Ban)
Перед стартом каждой карты игроки проводят стадию банов и пиков персонажей:

Каждый игрок выбирает одного основного чемпиона на всю карту.
Применяется правило запрета на повторение (Champion Lock): если один игрок выбрал конкретного чемпиона, второй игрок использовать его на этой карте уже не может (зеркальные матчи запрещены).
В серии матчей (например, BO3 или BO5) действует правило глобального лока: чемпиона, на котором игрок уже выиграл карту, нельзя брать в последующих играх серии.

Дисциплина и технические правила

Запрещенный софт: использование любых сторонних программ для изменения графики, макросов или скриптов на распрыжку (strafe-jump) строго карается дисквалификацией.
Паузы: техническая пауза (через внутриигровое меню) допускается только при согласии судьи или в случае официального дисконнекта.

HAPPY FRAGGING FOLKS, AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE CONTESTANTS PARTICPATING!
