Dom over at The VGA has officially announced the Samsung World Cyber Games Qualifiers. Last year Nocturne won the qualifiers at LanArena and jetted off to Korea (expenses paid) to compete in the World Cyber Games. Here's what Dom had to say:

What does 80 Top of the Range PCs, 20 XBOXES, 440sqm of space at one of the biggest technology shows in the UK, £20,000 worth of prices, 4 crazy days, Samsung, and a mouse have in common?

After several months of organisation, the 2002 UK Qualifiers of The Samsung World Cyber Games is almost upon us.

The event will take place at Stuff Live 2002 at Earls Court, London between the 3rd and the 6th October 2002. This is going to be the largest ever Official Gaming Tournament ever held in the UK and will find the best british gamers who will represent the UK at the World Cyber Games Grand Final in South Korea later in the year. Thats fully expensed flights and accomodation for the UK Team on ALL PC games!

Gamers will have to prove their worth at the toughest of eSport disciplines:

Age of Empires II (individual)
Counter-Strike (five player teams)
Fifa 2002 World Cup (individual)
Quake 3: Arena (individual)
Unreal Tournament (individual)
X-box Halo (exhibition)

I will be present throughout the event as Tournament Director and hope to see many of you down there also. Expect more details relating to dates and venues of pre-qualifiers to be announced shortly. For full details please visit the Official UK Samsung World Cyber Games website.
