Pro gamers take notice – the NVIDIA sponsored QuakeCon 2007 competition will include the first ever “Quad Damage” tournament, featuring 1-on-1 play spanning all four Quake games, and the debut of the multiplayer Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars tournament.

Now in it’s twelfth year, organizers are looking to step up the intensity of the competition by offering bigger prizes and better bragging rights. The event is to take place from August 2-5, 2007 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, TX, with more than 6,000 gamers hoping to claim a piece of the $100,000 purse.

The line-up includes the forementioned QUAKE Wars tourney for team-based play, with 32 teams of 6 duking it out in double elimination rounds. The Quad Damage competition will feature 1 vs. 1 play organized round-robin style and spanning all four Quake games, with the obvious draw being that the winner can call him/herself the ultimate Quake champion (at least until next year).
