SteelSeries present €10,000 CoD4 LAN

Posted by Camiel jetset R. on 2010-03-13 12:07:16
Just six days after the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7, today we are happy to report that more exciting news has just been released.


Between the 30th of April and the 2nd of May, SteelSeries, the leading manufacturer of professional gaming gear, will be organising a €10,000 Call of Duty 4 LAN event in cooperation with Vita Nova. The tournament, dubbed the SteelSeries eSport Challenge (SEC), will be taking place at the Cop3nhag3nRobot venue in the city centre of Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.

The SteelSeries eSport Challenge will have an entrance fee of €350 and uses a similar format as CIC7, with the top 2 teams of each group (8 in total) advancing to a 16 team single elimination best-of-three playoff. The tournament will make use of 40 high end gaming pc's and will be run by the Vita Nova admin crew.

The signups for the €10,000 tournament will open upcoming Wednesday, the 17th of March. More information about accomodation can be found on the tournament website, www.esportchallenge.com.

The prize distribution:

€5,000
€2,500
€1,250
4. €500
5-8. €250

The prizemoney will be paid out at the LAN event itself. The organisers do note that in case less than 32 teams participate, the organisation reserves the right to change the prizemoney accordingly.

The TEK9 crew will of course be present at the event to bring you the ins and outs when the tournament goes live. In addition, we will be releasing a guide to the SteelSeries eSport Challenge in the coming weeks, which will be similar to the Crossfire Challenge guide.

When we started the Crossfire Challenge, Challenge was a unique name now every fecker is using it :(

Good luck with the event, 8 weeks until it is quite a slim deadline for 32 teams to mobilise though hope they get enough.

btw this is the organisation that purchased the experience, so you know you'll get a well executed tournament

Nice to hear about his but as a few have already pointed out... it might be to soon after CiC7 or the deadline might be to short to get 32 teams to Denmark for 3/4 days.

Hope it will be a great succes though.

would have been nice if they would have had their site proofread, too many mistakes in my view :p


but besides that, the event looks to be great...although I would have put it at a later date (I hope a lot of local Danish/Swedish teams will fill out the numbers, I am not sure that every EU organisation can get the funds to get there immediately)

:) nice job.

i think it has the same status as Thanksgiving in the us and canada and we have the same at 4 and 5 may when we honour the soldiers who died in the second world war and our freedom.

I hope you guys can get 32 teams but we have to pass on this one and celebrate queensday and then play lan fanatics on 2 and 3 may.

in all fairness, queensday aint that big a deal. Only thing different from normal nights in town is some bands playing downtown.
For the rest it's just a random weekend, drinking and chilling :///
Don't get all this overhyping.

kijk dat jij nou in zo'n kanker gehucht woont waar niets te doen is kan ook ook niet helpen, maar dat betekent niet dat in de rest van Nederland koningedag wél groot is.
6 months ago
+0 thumbs
Ja vriend, want koninginnedag vier je niet in utrecht/amsterdam of eindhoven.
Heel goed... maar dat jij niet tegen je 'vrienden' durft te zeggen dat je er niet bent omdat je gaat chillen in kopenhagen.. das wel heel kk sad..
6 months ago
+0 thumbs
Jij begrijpt mij duidelijk verkeerd. Ik zeg niet dat ik dat niet zou durven, ik zeg dat ik dat gewoon niet zou doen. Ik zou nooit naar een lan gaan op bijvoorbeeld koningendag. Imo zou ik geen 'vriend' zijn zoals jij het noemt, als ik hun laat vallen en naar Denemarken ga om een game te spelen.

maarja ieder zn prioriteiten hè, het ging er overigens om dat jij beweert dat queensday helemaal niet groot is..wat gewoon pure bullshit is. Maarja onwetendheid neem ik je niet kwalijk als je in een dorpje met 1200 inwoners woont.

1 Keer er niet bij zijn bij je maten wordt direct beschouwd als het laten vallen van vrienden? Fijne vrienden dan.

Hoe groot het is en wat je die dag gaat doen is voor iedereen anders. carnaval is ook niet overal even groot. en als mensen gamen nu nog niet accepteren tja dan zijn het ook soiezo geen vrienden want iedereen speeld tegen woordig wel un spel of het nou fifa is of cod maakt dan ook niet zo veel uit. tok ralph 1200 is nie zo veel he n00b

Maar gelukkig woon ik zo ongeveer in groningen. En heb ik waarschijnlijk meer koninginnedagen meegemaakt dan jij. En weet ik wel degelijk dat koninginnedag niet zo extreem bijzonder is.. ^^
Dat heeft maar weinig te maken met het feit dat ik in een dorpje van 1200 inwonders zou wonen.
Wel mooi dat je me ff gehyved hebt en vervolgens gegoogled..
kudos!
