UK CPL WT: Extra Information

Posted by Myers at 19:45 6/8/2005.

On Wednesday Gamefrontier, the organisers of the UK leg of the CPL World Tour, announced some extra information regarding registration. The $10,000 CS male tournament will be limited to 16 teams with teams selected by Gamefrontier. The organisation have taken the rather unusual step of asking for 'pre-registrations' by e-mail, as described below.

Any teams wishing to register for a place can you initially send an email to worldtour@gamefrontier.biz with full team details.

16 Teams will be selected by Game Frontier and be invited to register for the tournament.

The cost per player will be £35 (£175 for a team of 5 players). This includes registration into the tournament and also a BYOC place.

The 300 BYOC spots will also be available at £35 per place, per player, the BYOC will be open 24 hours with the power being switched off at 8pm Sunday evening. Gamefrontier will be offering monitor rentals. The first 150 registered will also be offered sleeping floor space at the venue.

Despite the somewhat high entry fee, the CPL UK WT offers UK clans their first major opportunity in over a year to compete on LAN against top international sides. This event may well help highly ranked UK teams gain invaluable professional LAN experience and hopefully many of you will opt to register.

Sounds like team selection might be a bit elitist. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Also, what are 300 people going to after 8pm? I predict a riot!!!

I seem to remember the last CPL quals they organised they just picked teams they thought would boost their PR a bit.

Ah well... UKT LAN please! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
