News:: This year's DICE Summit will feature a game dev Quake tournament

The DICE Summit is an annual get-together for game developers to discuss ideas for new games and emerging technology within the industry.

This year, a one-on-one Quake tournament will be held and streamed at the convention for all to see.

The contestants include a lot of game industry professionals with the likes of Sean Dunn, Ted Price, Tim Willits, and Randy Pitchford participating. There doesn't seem to be any prize, just a chance to see developers at play (and possibly a smug sense of superiority when they suck).
