Quake: GotFrag TV releases Archive VODs!

By: Nick Bee - Published December 13, 2007 at 1:08 PM EST - Writer Archive
GotFrag TV presents our archive of video content from the CPL Winter 2006.
Happy Holidays From GotFrag TV!
Throughout the following months, GotFrag TV will be digging through our archives and releasing collections of VODs, starting with last years Winter CPL. The timing could not be better as we find ourselves on the the eve of a somewhat circumspect winter event.

The matches played out during the four days of competition in Dallas, Texas were some of the best in gaming history. The Swedes were on top again, brandishing a new form of domination under the fnatic banner. The best of the North American teams had yet to switch over to Source and were at the peak of their game heading into this tournament. Quake 3 competitors lived underneath the forever lengthening shadow of a friendly Russian, and an age-old rivalry would have one of its final hoorahs.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this selection of coverage from an event marked with some excellent examples of high profile eSports action. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Important! ALL the GotFrag TV video's can be found in the GotFrag TV Video Library
