KuachiCups has confirmed that the KDC 2 Championship and Open Finals will use a local Quake Champions server at Fortress Melbourne. The LAN will take place on November 7-8, with organizers expecting players to compete at below 1 ms ping.

The confirmation follows months of work to secure LAN server support. KuachiCups thanked SyncError, saying he had been working toward making the server available since the same week he learned that his role at id Software would be affected by the layoffs. SyncError will not set up the server himself, but has put the organizers in contact with the developers who will handle it.

The Kuachicups Duel Championship 2026 has run across three online splits. Night won the first split, Camma took the second, and Night returned to win the third. The Last Chance Qualifier will run from October 5–18 before the championship moves offline for the November finals.

The previous KDC Championship Finals were also held in Melbourne, with Camma defeating dandaking in the Grand Final.
