Quake Live TV to Broadcast QuakeCon 2010 Tournaments

[Shawn Zipay]

id Software and Bethesda have announced today that Quake Live TV will provide live coverage of all the hot QUAKE LIVE tournaments at this year's QuakeCon. Quake Live TV is a community-run broadcast organization that will have all of their hot footage available at quakelive.com and supplementary footage shown at quakelive.tv.

The live broadcast of The Intel QUAKE LIVE Masters Championship will be available at www.quakelive.com with supplementary content syndicated on www.quakelive.tv. For European viewers, the broadcast will be recorded and replayed outside of tournament hours. With player interviews and BYOC tours and tournaments, Quake Live TV and its partners are poised to showcase more of the energy, excitement and behind-the-scenes drama of QuakeCon than ever before.

Attendees of QuakeCon will be able catch all of the intense gaming action up close in the newly created 250-seat tournament arena. Top matches will also be broadcast live each day of the competitions on large screens, complete with simultaneous play-by-play commentary by Quake Live TV shoutcasters.

As noted, there will be some big name players in the QUAKE LIVE Masters Championship and the QUAKE LIVE Capture the Flag Championship. Those not yet on the 'pro' scene will be competing in the QUAKE LIVE Open Tournament. Coverage will also include various QUAKE LIVE contests and some BYOC action.

The festivities kick off on August 12th at the free to attend QuakeCon 2010 event at the Hlton Anatole in Dallas, Texas. The event concludes on the 15th.
