With just a couple of days to go before the Vita Nova UK LAN opens its door for the eight teams, they can announce a partnership for the event, with Thermaltake adding some hardware prizes to the already existing £750 prize pool for the first Vita Nova UK LAN.
The news of Thermaltake becoming involved with the Vita Nova organisation for this event will be received as good news by all those teams attending, giving them some extra incentive to do their best and hopefully end up amongst the TOP 4 and within prize winning range.
Thermaltake will be mainly providing the tournament with hardware prizes, offering useful things such as headsets, gaming mice and mouse pads as well as a gaming case for the Most Valuable Player of the whole event. Hopefully this will be a first of many advances that Thermaltake has made on the Call of Duty 4 community and should Vita Nova organize more of these one-day events, it would always be appreciated if Thermaltake would be on board as well.
On another note, the organisation has also released the groups of the event and attending teams can start preparing for their Group Stage play in four days. With only room for eight teams, we should see two very smooth Groups with four teams in each and all teams will enter the Bracket and their spot in the Group will determine their odds of facing one of the stronger teams right from the start.
**UPDATE**: The prizes have been furthered even more, as a last-minute sponsor was found and will aid Vita Nova in supporting the attending and winning teams of the event. The MVP of the event will receive a HiS Radeon HD4870 on top of his current prize and all players of all eight attending teams will be given a HiS Gamer's Tool Kit.

Statement by Adam "vanner" Vanner, Vita Nova Communications and Marketing Director:
" I'm delighted to announce Tt eSPORTS as the head sponsor for the upcoming VNUK event. Coupled with this announcement we have also released a new prize structure which now includes some excellent top of the range products for the top 4 teams. I've known Andy for a long time in eSports and I am confident this will be the start of a very promising partnership between the two of us."
Thermaltake representative, Andrew "Vanq" Christoforou, had the following to add to that:
" Tt eSPORTS have a clear vision and plan for 2011 and are always looking for positive and great opportunities to be involved with online and offline events, so for Tt eSPORTS to be involved with VITA NOVA who are at the heart of the Call of Duty 4 scene in Europe is a very exciting prospect. It is our strong belief that by supporting this Association we can help to expand our brand and spread the Tt eSPORTS lifestyle to the European gaming scene and hopefully create a strong partnership for future Online and Offline Tt eSPORTS Global Challenge Events in Europe. We are excited about supporting the event this weekend in Glasgow and are looking forward to seeing what the attendees have to say about some of our great products which are up for grabs at the event."
