Sweden Johan "Toxic" Quick has claimed the biggest tournament prize in Quake 4 since its launch by defeating Italy Allesandro "Stermy" Avallone.

The SK Gaming star had to come from the lower bracket and defeat the Italian in two lots of best of three matches, which he managed to achieve without giving away a single map to his rival from the Free Players Organisation.

The $20,000 won for first place is the largest single amount awarded thus far in Quake 4 tournament history and makes Toxic the highest earner (from tournament winnings) since the game was released with over $33,000 total winnings.
