Team 2z had an amazing QuakeCon. After the team won the Sacrifice tournament at the Quake World Championships, one of their members went on to win the Duels tournament. Clawz showed a ridiculous attention to detail in his shutout victory against seasoned vet Voo and when asked about his preparation for the 1v1 tournament, his response was hilarious. "For Duels, we didn't actually practice," said Clawz. Wow. Please take a look at the rest of the interview to get to know the true Quake Champions of QuakeCon 2017, Team 2z.

  I've never really watched any quake duels andnI found it to be awesome. I caught the semi finals and final matches and both were great. Made me want to buy Quake Champions.

    Just played Quake Champions for an hour at the BYOC. The game is running way better than the last time I played the beta.

        Load times in between matches. The game is less jittery in general too.

      Did you talk to Andre or Matt from Sabre? If I had known they were going to be out there this year I totally would have made it down for QuakeCon, they're good guys and some of the best people I've ever worked with.
