ESWC linked with return to Quake series

Rumours linking the reborn ESWC with a return to the Quake series refuse to go away as new reports emerge of leaked images (seen right) from a sponsor presentation listing "Quake" under the PC games supported. The validity of the information is believed to have been confirmed by the Milk Cybercafes who run the French ESWC qualifiers.

The leak comes just days after DIP, the ESWC's parent company, announced Peugeot as the tournament's official partner for 2010 and less than a week ahead of the scheduled release of their new website. The new site is expected to confirm the addition of Quake as well as Guitar Hero for console alongside the tournament's eight existing disciplines.

The ESWC has a rich history in the Quake series, with former champions including Anton "Cooller" Singov, Maciej "av3k" Krzykowski and Michael "winz" Bignet. Previous tournaments have featured both Quake 3 and 4 but, although Milk were unable to confirm the title chosen, it is expected that the 2010 event will make the switch to QuakeLive.

French Q4 Dueler, Sidney. I can't remember clearly, but I think he went totally undefeated in the 2006 ESWC, correct me if I'm wrong.

The main competitors were Toxic, Forever, 2Gd and Cypher. That American / Canadian dueler too, I forget his name..

Indeed he played for the french Org *aAa*

Btw I still have not faith in those guy running the event, 6 month prior the event and still no sponsors announced nor any cash prize... and their current website is as ugly as fok

It still sound like a big joke to once what was ESWC....
