We are at the halfway point in the qualifying stages for the Quake World Championships and its one million dollar prize pool. Top qualifiers in Quake Champions’ new 1v1 Duel and 4v4 Sacrifice modes have begun to separate themselves from the rest. 32 European and North American Duel players and eight European teams have already qualified for the Regional Finals.
