Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) UK announces 400+ Player LAN Qualifier
One of the UK's last feeder events for ESWC UK Finals announced.
If you have what it takes to take on the best video gamers in
the country, it is definitely time to get those fingers and
brain reflexes fine-tuned. The reason? The countdown has
begun to find the best video gaming talent in the UK, with
the announcement of one of the last feeder events for the
official UK finals of the Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC)
in June (www.eswc.co.uk). The event, to be staged in
Bristol from Friday 26th - Monday 29th May, is the SGL ESWC
UK 2006 LAN.
Game Frontier, the official organisers of this year's UK ESWC
tournament, have teamed up with new partners theSGL and
Dustworld, to deliver the SGL ESWC UK 2006 LAN - one of this
year's most anticipated e-sports events. To be staged at the
Severnside Complex, there will be some of the best pro gamers
in the land battling it out over a four day LAN tournament
focused on finding teams and individuals to progress onto the
ESWC UK 2006 finals.
Official video-game tournaments include Counterstrike 1.6
(5v5), Quake 4 (1v1) and Warcraft 3 (1v1). The tournament
will consist of more than four hundred BYOC (Bring Your Own
Computer) player LAN with a dedicated competition arena. The
event brings together parties, each with a proven track
record in their area of expertise. Dustworld (www.dustworld.net) will be providing the network
infrastructure and server know-how alongside the online
tournament organising skills that the SGL (www.thesgl.com) has built its reputation on.
E-sports is a fast-rising new cultural phenomenon with more
and more professional teams competing against talented
amateurs. Some of the UK's most respected gamers will be in
attendance. Eventual champions of the ESWC UK finals will go
on to represent the nation at the ESWC Grand Finals, taking
place in Paris between June 28th and July 2nd, fighting it
out for an incredible $400,000 prize fund and the ultimate
accolade of being the best in the world.
