Electronic Sports World Cup 2004

Posted by Blitz at 15:38 6/2/2004.

Yesterday, the official ESWC 2004 website was launched, with information on the upcoming events this summer. National preliminaries in over 40 countries, including the UK, will be taking place over the next few months, in order to see who'll get the chance to win a spot in the event's LAN finals. The main events of interest to us are Counter-Strike, though there are Warcraft 3, PES 3, and Quake 3 competitions taking place. The national partner for the UK has still to be announced.

In terms of Counter-Strike, the main event is the usual five man format with a total prize fund of $100,000, broken down as follows:

1st - $40,0005th - $4,000
2nd - $24,0006th - $4,000
3rd - $12,0007th - $4,000
4th - $8,0008th - $4,000

In addition, they'll also be holding a female CS competition, with 16 invited teams and $20,000 up for grabs. Full event information is available over on the site.

erm, not at all no...since I never visit that site. I actually noticed it on ESReality.

After that, anyone with half a brain can look around the official site and gather info. Luckily, I managed it..

Best event for spectators outside of the actual event last year this was. The real audio streamed commentary was fantastic. CPL and wcg should catch on some day [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Until someone can prove that women are physically not as good at CS as men, they don't deserve equal pay. ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Why does no one actually realise there are alternatives to CoD if they wanna stop playing cs, CoD is the most sluggish mohaa rip off piece of boring s*** ever created, even halo would be a better online game to play than CoD, so, who actually f***ing cares i'm sick of people talking about CoD on a cs site. Any other game I wouldn't mind just CoD isn't even worth the f***ing space of a comment box [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
