Historic Ancient Chinese City to Host World’s Biggest International Video Game Competition’s Tournament Final

Wiesbaden, Germany April 8, 2008 – The World Cyber Games (WCG) today announced Chengdu, China as the WCG 2009 Grand Final host city for the world’s largest and most prestigious video game tournament and festival. The formal announcement will be made in China on April 23rd when Chengdu city officials and World Cyber Games officials join together for the official signing ceremony in Chengdu, China.

The World Cyber Games Committee considers numerous factors when selecting each year’s host city, including geography, facilities, infrastructure and marketing plans. For 2009, Chengdu received the overall highest score due to the extensive support offered by local government, accessibility of the Grand Final venue, and high network potential of broadcasters.

“As a state-level digital entertainment industry base, Chengdu aims to become the eSports training and tournament center in China,” said Mr. Ge Honglin, Mayor of Chengdu. “By hosting the World Cyber Games Grand Final, the biggest and most celebrated eSports and gaming festival in the world, we believe we are now well on our way to achieving this goal.”

Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province in China, is a city rich in history, dating back more than 2,300 years. Chengdu is a cultural center for science and technology, commerce and finance, as well as a hub for transportation and communication in southwest China. The city has already hosted a number of major eSport competitions and is the first place in China to establish ratings for players, referees and coaches. Chengdu is also the first Chinese city to train cyber gaming referees and mandate gaming venue standards.

“Chengdu already has an incredible reputation for being one of the world’s elite cities when it comes to hosting video game competitions,” said Hyoung-Seok Kim, CEO of International Cyber Marketing, organizers of the World Cyber Games. “We have no doubt that they will be a wonderful and exciting host city that provides World Cyber Games players and fans with a unique and amazing setting for the premiere event and competition.”

Founded in 2000, the pioneering WCG continues today under the slogan “Beyond the Game.” Over the years, it has steadily grown to become the world’s largest and most prestigious video game festival and tournament, with an aim to be a total digital entertainment festival for gamers and the general public.

The 2007 World Cyber Games experienced record numbers of gamers and participating countries, with more than 700 players and 70 countries competing in Seattle, USA. The WCG 2008 global tournament culminates with the World Cyber Games 2008 Grand Final, Nov. 5 – 9, in Cologne, Germany..

Samsung Electronics is the worldwide premier partner for the World Cyber Games. Other global partners include Microsoft Xbox 360 and Games For Windows, Samsung Monitor(SyncMaster), Philips amBX, Procurve Networking by HP, Dust-Off and several others.

WCG 2009 ne ureaza asadar bun venit in China, intr-o metropola de 11 milioane de locuitori, capitala regiunii Sichuan. Aici se gaseste a doua fabrica Intel ca dimensiune si prima ca nivel de investitii din China.
Orasul este recunoscut in lumea e-Sport-ului pe mai multe planuri si din acest punct de vedere pare o locatie ideala pentru Finala Mondiala de anul viitor.

Raman deschise intrebarile legate de instabilitatea imaginii internationale datorata incidentelor din Tibet (de urmarit si comportamentul tarilor participante la Jocurile Olimpice, in multe din ele punandu-se problema protestelor participantilor in timpul evenimentului).

Un lucru e cert, deplasarea in China va fi cu siguranta mai costisitoare decat una in Europa.

Suedia se anunta a fi prima participanta la WCG2009 care va trimite 2 echipe de Counter Strike la finala din China.

In urma finalei nationale echipa castigatoare va primi slotul standard cu totul inclus si a doua clasata va avea posibilitatea sa isi achite din propriul buzunar cheltuielile daca doreste sa participe la finala mondiala.

Sansele sunt astfel foarte mari sa vedem 2 echipe din Suedia in grupele de la Chengdu.
