Electronic Sports World Cup

Posted by NoToRiOuS at 22:40 27/2/2003.

I have been tipped off that there will be a Electronic Sports World Cup. Games included will be CS, WC3 and UT2k3. Sounds a lot like the World Cyber Games (WCG). After the success of the first UKT LAN, the qualifiers for this event will also be held by us in Northampton.

For more details click here.

Update: The Event Directors of the 'ESWC' also sent over an email containing a bit more info. You can find the whole thing in this column. In total, there will be $100,000 up for grabs in the Counter-Strike 5-on-5 tournament.

How can an event such as ukt be used for qualification? The events can only be afforded by a few clans, they aren't all of the best clans in the uk and with this points system it means you are going to have to turn up to every one if you want to go...? Seems a little odd thats all. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I assume this will have the same nationality rule as WCG?

If they insist on calling it a "World Cup" why don't they actually use national teams, like a LAN Nations Cup? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
