Partners go head to head in a free-for-all competition. One person is the eyes, the other controls the character blindfolded. • Dirty Keyboard Contest - If you haven't been to a QuakeCon Dirty Keyboard contest recently then this should be one of those bucket list style items. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to laugh and as your favorite QuakeCon celebrities pore over the nastiest keyboards they've ever seen in their entire lives. • Pick Your Pony - Like watching eSports? Meet us at the Pick Your Pony station near the eSports mainstage to pick your "horse". If your choice is right you'll walk away with a cool prize! • BAWLS Chugging - Work hard and train hard for this one. This year five-time BAWLS Chugging Champion KenCo12 looks to reclaim his belt from two-time and current reigning champion, Dirty Taco. Or will a new champion emerge and capture the crown?? All you gotta do is pop that cap, and chug that BAWLS. EXHIBITORS AND SPONSORS:
