UKTerrorist 2003 LAN Championships

This event will be a 6-month LAN competition run by UKTerrorist with assitance from the VGA and will be open to all gaming clans. The campaign will begin on Saturday 22nd February at the IT Centre in Northampton (venue of the CPL tournaments) and at the end of each subsequent month. This will be an 8 - 16 team LAN tournament and will take place at various VGA gaming centres across the country. Teams will be rewarded by points rather than physical prizes for their final positions at these events.

The point structure is as follows:

At the end of the first 6-month season, the 6 highest scoring teams will be invited to attend the special event: Secondary Strike 2003 where they will join the top 2 winners of the VGA LAN leagues. These 8 teams will battle it out for a £2,500 cash first prize. There will be smaller cash prizes for all other teams.

This tournament has been created due to overwhelming demand and support from UKT members who strive for regular LAN events. This we hope will provide much needed experience for UK online clans to become better LAN players for the main tournaments that are being held this year, including the World Cyber Games and CPL. We chose the VGA to run this event as they are the most experienced and respected LAN tournament organisers in the UK. The LAN tournaments will be managed by Myers from UKT with support from the usual team of Sujoy and Dom from the VGA, along with new recruit Kevin Gibson (thekev), who joined the VGA at Christmas. Some of the regular UKT crew will also be there to assist in the organisation and admin of the tournaments.

All events are on a first come first served basis and cost £15 per player. This provides access to the gaming centre for the entire day. All events will be well covered by shoutcast and HLTV, as with all VGA managed events.

You may notice that we have not opted to source a sponsor for this 6 month campaign, the reason is that we are trying to keep true to the requests from members as to why they wanted these events. It is for clans to get together, practice and meet in a friendly, challenging atmosphere without the need for corporates to get involved. This is why the prize money is as high as other competitions, instead the emphasis is on practice and socialising. This is to promote gaming, not a sponsor.

We hope this tournament helps UK clans in their participation at European and Worldwide Tournaments.

hmm, so you must play at the LAN to get points to compete in this, and they are regular events - which combined with work, college and costs is gonna cut participation down alot surely? If clans arent all in the same area (as most of them arent) how is this gonna work :/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

4th/5th place = 4 points
That's a bit unfair isn't it?
The 4th place team had to win one more match than the 5th place team. They got to the semi finals, whereas 5-8th are the quarter finals losers... [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

'tis a good idea, though perhaps regular attendence for most clans won't be possible yet but at least the competition is there for clans who can. Agree with Toomy about the VGA teams, another attempt to big them up to a level they'll not be able to handle. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Don't think combatstrike has opened yet in Notitngham, or CybermissionHQ in Sheffield. Will probably end up at Cybergameszone in Newcastle as some point. I'm sure Geordie can talk forever about why that's the best option, tho it'd all boil down to him having not to travel ;-) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

hehheh... I think all you people slagging the VGA should just shut up and take your heads out of your asses, cos unless you've played on VGA you've got nothing to say at the mo.. VGA are part of this event and no matter how much moaning and b***hing you do nothing will change.
There are always surprises at LANs, the crap teams who are used to default configs sometimes do better than those so called good teams, so cut the crap about "they're gonna get knocked out anyway". [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

heh, i wonder y so many people put words b4 action. too much bs coming out of their a$$ maybe. and to claim you once played in the VGA league and they were poor. so when was the last time u played in that league? cant be last season as #uk.bham won that one, the season b4 that one? let me see, thats 2 seasons ago. u start judging the clans that play in the 5th season just because u played 2 seasons ago? there are alot of new clans and old clans in the 5th season and they have alot more potential. so stop chatting out ur a$$ and prepare urself for UKT. btw, tell me about something you won recently that counts then maybe i give you some credits, and plz dont say $h!t like we beat you in pcw!! PK is so $h!t and they config like hell!! omfg plz no more!! hahaha... t**ts.. dont diss until you played us properly on LAN. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
