The Quake Live PC Gaming Season Open, presented by Alienware Arena, is a one day, $2,500 cash-prize 1v1 event that will take place on Saturday, June 27th with some of the best players in North America in action. Players will compete within their own region (Northeast, Southern, Midwestern, Western) for the cash, and I'll be prodding the winners of each region to play each other at the end for a true champion (they don't have to).

Notable players scheduled to compete include:

Timothy "DaHanG" Fogarty
Tom "griffin" Wall
Shane "rapha" Hendrixson
Daniel "Carnage" Sturdivant
Chance "chance" Lacina
Andy "gellehsak" Ryder
Walter "walter" Outlaw"
Kevin "kgb" Holowchik

The entire event will be streamed live by Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham and Rod "Slasher" Breslau with match commentary and interviews. All the action starts at 13:00 EDT, and can be watched at Pwnage.tv (there will not be a login prompt once the tournament starts). The event will also be streamed through Justin.tv.
