After weeks of rumors, i32 announced that it will hold a Quake 4 competition with a prize pool of 20k, sponsored by Intel, at it's event November 9th through 12th. Being the only major Quake 4 LAN in the world, at the moment, it is drawing the majority of the world's top Quake 4 players. Some names that have already announced their attendance are:

Jay "2GD" Harding
Maciej "av3k" Krzykowski
Chance "chance" Lacina
Peter "cYmoZz" Sellmaier
Alexey "Cypher" Yanusheuski
Tim "DaHang" Fogarty
Ben "dallow" Dalloway
Philip "Dozo" Hughes
Jeffrey "draven" Debipersad
Michael "winz" Bignet
Gareth "GaRpY" Marshall
Aaron-Anton "HELL" Jones
Marcel "K1llsen" Paul
Josef "NaAani" Schwan
Mikael "PURRI" Tarvainen
Johan "toxjq" Quick

Though it's been a little more than two months since the last WSVG event, expect players like toxjq, DaHanG and Cypher to still be in top form, as they have still been practicing Quake 4 even after the announcement of the end of WSVG. This is also a good list of names that probably attended WSVG London, so it will be exciting to see this diverse field finally get to play each other, as many of the names have never played each other on LAN.
