Want to win some goodies?

Posted by Tru at 23:10 18/1/2005.

It was claimed that 2005 will be the best year for competitive gaming and so far we are only 18 days in - it certainly hasn't let us down. With the announcement of WEG and Clanbase's EurocupXI, Game-Hosting, along with Shuttle and Sennheiser, have joined forces and provided the gaming community with an online competition, namely The Arctic E-Sport Challenge 2005.

The Arctic E-Sport Challenge, first held in 2003, will be giving away €28720 in prizes to the eventual winners of the CoD, BF1942 and CS tournaments. With the first games starting on the 14th February sign-ups are already open until the 7th February, giving the lazy among us just under 3 weeks to sign up.

The only factors that could possibly be looked down upon is the entry fee and the servers. The CS tournament will cost you €25 for your whole team to enter however in return, apart from the obvious prizes, is the "fair play and cheat free" games the Game-Hosting Servers will provide you with (allegedly). Servers will be based in Stockholm, Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

Visit Game-Hosting or #arctic.cs for more information.

Want prizes? Can't play to save your life? You could aslways sign up to be a match admin and get a chance to win €305 in hardware.

	St3al7h Collective 03:38 19/1/2005	lets pay money to enter a tournament where people will cheat cus its online, on servers so far away from the uk that even if the other team were not wallhacking, aimboting and using just about every other hack their is it wouldn’t matter because of the 100 ping and 100 choke making it totally impossible to hit anything anyway... sounds like a fantastic idea! infact... why not let everyone cheat? may the best 13370r hackers win!

	Black Cat^ 13:34 19/1/2005	"It was claimed that 2005 will be the best year for competitive gaming and so far" .. with the introduction of source and the CPL ditching 1.6? lol your having a laugh right?! CS 1.6 MADE competitive gaming the thing it is today, if s***e games like source become more popular at these events lets wave good bye to an expanding and more popular gaming community.

	Weebull 14:43 19/1/2005	CS 1.6 MADE competitive gaming the thing it is today, if s*e games like source become more popular at these events lets wave good bye to an expanding and more popular gaming community. If there's enough prize money in Source, the top players will** switch. If the top players switch, the effects will trickle down and the lower order clans will end up switching too. Sure you can stay playing 1.6, but don't expect many people left to play against. It'll just end up like UT, and the other now diminished games. Like it or not, Source is pretty much inevitable. The only hope we have is to actually make it decent. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Black Cat^ 16:58 19/1/2005	Just because the cpl switch, cal switch, tournament organisers switch and the top clans/players switch .. means we have to! I refuse to follow the crowd, become a sheep in the pack and play a game I don't like (in its current state) ... CPL, CAL .. might aswell follow suite from Microsoft, hail the new b0rg!

	Weebull 17:51 19/1/2005	Like I said, you'll end up like UT. Still going, but pretty bare. I'm not saying Source is a good thing, but unfortunately, most people will follow the trend/flashy graphics, and there'll be very few people left playing 1.6, and that's if Valve don't do something shifty like pull Steam support for it, in which case you'll have pretty much no chance.

	DoZ Anti-saviour of UKT 18:23 19/1/2005	Actually Weebull, it's more like: "If there is enough money in CS:S and 1.6 is abandoned by large money competitions, THEN a switch will be made" Just look at CPL being flamed since ESWC said they'll stick with 1.6 until it's not viable [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Weebull 19:32 19/1/2005	Well yeah, that was kind of implied. Valve will probably throw everything they have to try and make CS:S the new game of choice. It's their new money spinner after all. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
