playQUAKELIVE NA Duel Points Cup #1

The Cyber Sports Network is proud to announce the 2nd playGAMES Cup Series for QuakeLive. Along with playQUAKELIVE for North American Duel players, Series II will feature CTF for our friends in Europe. Each Series will consist of four (4) single elimination bracket tournaments in which points are awarded to all participants. These points are automatically tracked on the CSN site, using our built in points system. The more active that teams are and their ability to win matches will result in more points. Each series of four (4) Cups (brackets) will end with a ‘Finals Cup’, where the top players and teams will compete for larger cash prizing. Once the series has been completed, the points will be reset and another series will begin.

All Cyber Sports Network playQUAKELIVE Cups will be free to join and will be streamed on the largest online gaming broadcast company, Twitch.tv, with commentary provided by professional gaming casters. Industry leading tournament technology and experienced staff members will administer all events.

The first playQUAKELIVE Cup Series II Points Cup for both EU CTF and NA Duel will be held Sunday, April 29th. The winning players of each NA playQUAKELIVE Points Cup will take home $40. European playQUAKELIVE CTF Teams will be competing for Points only for all Points Cups. At least $750 in cash will be on the line for the CTF finals.

Registration begins now for both the EU and NA playQUAKELIVE Points Cup #1.
