Fragfest '96
From QuakeWorld Wiki
[edit] Introduction
A LAN tournament sponsored by Gateway and PC Gamer that was held on December 14th, 1996 from 12:00 until 00:00 in Stockholm, Sweden.
[edit] Summary
Fragfest '96 was supposedly the biggest QuakeWorld event held in Europe of the year. 50 of the best players around at the time gathered at IVA's Conference Center in Stockholm in order to find out who was the best FFA player in Sweden at the time. The 50 players were divided into groups of 4, with the best 2 being allowed to continue into the next round. Two tables were provided by Gateway, each of which had 4 computers.
The Quarter Finals brought a surprise as 
Nikodemus was beaten out of the game in the Quarter Finals by players Totte, who everyone was surprised about for performing so extraordinarily, as well as Sniket. One of the reasons for Nikodemus's loss might have been due to the fact that the two maps played were among his most hated.
As the games were played at a LAN, the semi final brought even more surprises. Feared players Storm and Buchman were beaten out of the tournament by former modem-victims Sniper and Eraser, neither of which made it to the final in the end, despite their astonishing performance in the semis.
The Final was played on E1M7, The House of Chton, for 40 minutes straight. DOOMer managed to win the final and was thus the one to take home the first prize of the event, a brand new Pentium 200, and a certificate.
