CPL World Tour Prize Distribution Announced

Posted by Myers at 15:55 19/7/2004.

The CPL today announced the prize distribution of next year's CPL World Tour. Although the countries wont be announced for at least another week we can no doubt look forward to various tidbits of information until then.

The prize distribution is as follows:

Tour Stops $50,000 Purse
1st Place$15,000
2nd Place$10,000
3rd Place$7,000
4th Place$5,000
5th Place$3,500
6th Place$2,500
7th Place$1,750
8th Place$1,250
9th - 12th Place$625
13-16th Place$375
Finals $500,000 Purse
1st Place$150,000
2nd Place$100,000
3rd Place$70,000
4th Place$50,000
5th Place$30,500
6th Place$25,000
7th Place$17,500
8th Place$12,500
9th - 12th Place$6,250
13-16th Place$3,750

Equally as important as the countries selected in which to host these events is the game chosen. Possibly on a related note Doom3's worldwide distribution date has been confirmed as August 2nd.

I wonder how they managed to gather so much prize money for this new World Tour [i]and[/i] continue the CPL Spring/Summer/Winter tournaments [i]and[/i] have plans to revamp CPL Europe. Their sponsors must be very pleased at how the CPL's progressed in the past few years.

Of course, it pays to have a person who used to be a stockbroker and then an investment banker leading the organisation. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Doom3 .plan files state August 2nd in USA, August 3-6th rest of the world.

And there's still no guarantee it's doom III, which has been designed to primarily be a single-player game with 2-4 player multiplayer, sounds crap imo. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Dont discount the idea that it could be UT2004 (Or the earlier mentioned 'CPL Game' designed in co-operation with them) , as CPL has always had a good relation with Epic software. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I don't see how they can expect the best players in the world at whatever game they choose to attend. It costs a lot for a player to travel, and probbally only players that are sponsored will go. And if the game is Doom3, how many sponsored doom3 players are there? :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

gReen , they have already stated it will be a duel game, and if it was to be UT2004 it obviously wouldnt be Onslaught , as the duelling and TDM community is far bigger. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

theres f*** all wrong with your karma xenex, I think there should be a cut off point on posting columns. Mine should no doubt be a no-go though I agree, maybe 10/11 karma rating should be cut off point for columns. Just a slight thought toward the staff.. if anyone other than Myers visits anymore [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

green PK is NOT good 1v1, just lucky timing for its release since Q3 is on it's dying days and a few famous Q3 players decided to give it a go. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
