In an exciting break with tradition, an upcoming Team DeathMatch tournament this week will feature a 3v3 format.
After 3v3 TDM was enabled in quick play last week for a small testing period, the change was met with a sincere amount of praise from many in the community. Many found it struck a nice balance between the fast paced nature of 4v4, and the more tactical and control based 2v2.

Our very own SyncError even chimed in with his positive experience with the 3v3 test, and expressed a willingness to explore more possibilities with the format in the future (link to the full conversation on discord below):

Public message on the Quake Champions discord server

Naturally, a passionate group of players wanted to take the concept a little further, putting together a community based tournament!
It’s been on the tongue of every hardcore Quake Champions player; what do with the current state of team modes, now that Sacrifice is no longer featured at the professional level?
3v3 TDM could be a fresh opportunity to inject some competitive life into Quake Champions’ currently unrepresented team modes!

The bracket currently includes notable players such as Raisy, Zenaku, Garpy, Psygib, Strongsage, Festiveturtle, RMV, ANTOWKA, OpiuM, Antemos, and a team from Annihilation eSports!

Teams of 3 will face off against each other in standard TDM
