Today we are proud to announce the full website of the Antwerp eSports Festival. Not only that, we are going to upgrade the prize pool to 50,000 € divided over the two main games, Call of Duty 4 and FIFA 2008. We would also like to announce the signing of a sponsorship deal with Packard Bell and Intel for the event which means that the PC tournaments will be run on brand new iPower PC's.

Here is the prize breakdown:

Tournament rules to be announced shortly. This is a casual tournament running alongside the professional FIFA 2008 (PC) tournament. Registrations will be open Friday and Saturday morning and entry will cost 5 €. These tournaments will be run throughout the day on Friday and Saturday. The event will run Single Elimination.

Another 12,000 € in hardware will be handed out to spectators and people present at the event in various side competitions and sponsor booths.


The ticket and registration process is further explained on the website and spectator tickets are now available. You can find all details on obtaining them on the brand new website.

I would like to invite everyone to take a look at the full website as you will be able to find more information on the entire event right there. Still a lot has to be announced so stay tuned for further announcements concerning the Antwerp eSports Festival.

Title shud be more like "AEF goes for 25 000€" or "AEF goes for prizes worth 50 000€", as not even close to 50 000€ is delivered in pure euros (like title states). In it's current form it's actually rather misleading. Naturally a good advertisement trick :)

Neverthless, should turn out well for the community. Well done dfb and co. keep it cummin'

Betalen = spot krijgen
