UKTerrorist 2003 LAN Championships

Posted by Myers at 18:44 20/1/2003.

UKTerrorist, supported by the Virtual Gaming Alliance, are pleased to announce the UKTerrorist 2003 LAN Championships.

The UKTerrorist LAN Championships will take place from February – August 2003, with an 8 – 16 team double elimination Counter-Strike tournament being held at the end of each month.

Instead of the usual mediocre cash or product prizes being rewarded for winning these events, each team will receive points based upon their position. At the end of the season the top teams will be invited to the "Secondary Strike 2003" Tournament, which will include prizes like the £2,500 first prize.

The UKTerrorist Championships, the first competition of its kind in the UK, will promote LAN gaming and provide gamers with much more LAN competitions, as well as more chances to socialize with fellow gamers. UKTerrorist and the Virtual Gaming Alliance hope to see as many of you as possible in the upcoming months.

About VGA
The VGA (Virtual Gaming Alliance) was established three years ago by the leading LAN and online gaming centres in the UK. It was designed to enable and promote gaming to more people in the UK, as well as forming a coherent alliance between gaming centres. This allows the VGA to deal directly with the games publishers and sponsors, and easily organise large-scale national tournaments open to all, regardless of location and home facilities. Such an alliance yields other benefits such as allowing its members to deal directly with suppliers of hardware, software, accessories and connectivity, giving better pricing and a single point of contact for those companies wishing to sell their products to what was previously a disparate group of organisations.

For more information, visit www.vga.org.uk.

This basically the VGA league using the UKT lan, with prizes and teams can go through to secondary strike? Will it only be teams taking part in this that can play in secondary strike? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i thought it looked like that, but also it'd be open to all clans, not just the "local vga team" kinda thing if u get what i mean, so its like a more open & nationwide version of the VGA league with a big finale ? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

as well as more chances to socialize with fellow gamers

If the socializing is anything like on here, and half of what some idiots say become their actions, it will be like a boxing match.

right, lemme clear up a few points: (going throguh all posts in turn) :)

All 6 of the lan events will be open to any clans. The top teams after these 6 events will be invited to Secondary Strike a 'Grand final' if you will, where they'll compete for the major prizes.

Compare it to the F1 style point structure where they have 12 races and at the end of the season whoever did best wins etc..., well same here except at the end of the seasons the top teams will be invited to a grand final

This is not a CPL event, so therefore the age limits set by them does not apply, presently (i'll have to check up on this) there is no age limit, if there is one enforced it'll be about 15/16.

It does not matter if you miss one event, your points will still stand. Just attend as many events as you can.

No chris0 it's not winner take all, the top prize £2,500 the rest of the prizes will be distributed down to 8th.

Yeh deebo i regret to say that not evey team will be able to attend every event. But in the spirit of competition please attend as many as you can :).

Any more questions don't hesitate to ask :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

These events are not as much about cash prizes as they are about competition and lan events. The VGA were bombarded with requests for more gaming events. this is the solution.

We're hoping competition will be the main driving force and the desire to improve ur reputation/status... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

bah, cant post with a registered name and I lost all of my rant. <b>lost password button please!<b>

The £15 will buy an all day pass at the VGA centre who will be closed to the public more or less thus losing out on income. I assume some of the will go in to the prize poule too, but Meyers is hardly likely to be driving a Merc when this is over.

Id imagine that Northampton will host all the 6 events because its central to most ppl and proven at hosting big events.

Hope the format can be 4 poules of 4 and then a playoff because traveling to a LAN to only get 2 games is a bit of a mission. However with said all day pass I guess scrims outside the tourney for clans knocked out could go on (make this happen!)

Looks good for the UK scene. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

rofl, think of the publicity you will get. "UKT Staff inclusive of all star 4k c**ksucker-myers take on any team that challenges them". bet you'll get a good 2 people turning up to watch you battle it off on stage.....something to pay good money for that is. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

So 6 events... hmmm £50 per team at each event assuming that its £10 per person = £300 Looks like VGA are on another earner. What a joke CPL quals was £75 to enter a team then £5 per person on the day. VGA are just grabbing all the money they can. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

MiG that's just a few of the clans in the Uk and Toomy i'm sure all clans deserve an opportunity to prove themselves on a LAN.

I doubt any team will be able to attend every single event, but we're just asking to attend as many as possible. You wont have to do 'that' well really to get invited back to Secondary Strike. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Smittins, as Myers has said, you wont have to necassarily have to perform well at ALL the events to get invited to secondary strike. We are aware people may not be able to attend all the events just get to as many as you can and you stand a better chance.

Oh and we may call the third one... UKT STRIKES BACK!

or we may not. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
