TOURNAMENT.COM RAISES THE STAKES WITH NEW MULTI-LEVEL TOURNAMENTS AND TRUE DEATHMATCH GAMES
New Deathmatch Mode Rewards Individual Skill as Multi-Level Tournaments Turn Up the Competitive Heat
Norwich, U.K. - October 15, 2007 - Tournament.com, a pioneer in licensed online PC gaming competition that allows gamers from around the world to win money facing off against one another in their favorite games over the Internet, today announced the addition of two highly sought after features: Multi-level tournaments, and a true Deathmatch mode for Counter-Strike: Source.
Multi-level tournaments up the ante for competitive Counter-Strike: Source players by allowing up to 20 players to compete in a multi-round tournament, featuring quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals matches to determine winners. Gamers skilled enough to make the finals will have a chance at more lucrative cash rewards. Even more exciting is the possibility of full-fledged tournaments with up to 80 players vying for cash prizes.
The new Deathmatch mode takes teams out of the equation for the first time on Tournament.com, allowing players to test their true skills in an all-out melee. The addition of this mode answers the hopes of many gamers who enjoy free-for-all shooters over team play.
