Within the last hour, the organisers of the upcoming Landed LAN 6 have revealed that they are to host the second Intel-sponsored Extreme Edition Challenge.
Those who care to remember back to December last year, will recall the previous Extreme Edition Challenge was held at Landed LAN 5. The challenge saw two Intel sponsored teams face off against each other in 3 games. 4K won that event, overcoming the French clan Armateam, and will now try to hold onto the title at Landed 6. Their job is likely to be harder this time around, as they will face off against none other than the fearsome Swedes, Schroet Kommando.
There will be full commentary by TSN and an event movie to look forward to by non other than Simon Bysshe. The main event of Intel's Extreme Edition Challenge will no doubt attract much attention as two of the Worlds best clans battle it out at the Oxford venue.
The actual event will be a 150 player BYOC LAN hosting games from CS, Q3 and C&C Generals, with the Main event to follow. The venue boasts a huge floor fit for 1200 people with big screens for HLTV (...and rumours of a bar and even pool tables at the back.).
When, where and how much? I hear you shout. Well the time is March 26th - 28th at the Oxford Brooke Students' Union. The cost of entrance into BYOC is just £30. The full press release is also available. Sign-ups open at 8pm tonight.
Update: 4Kings' line-up will be: Mangiacapra - Harriman - Migotti - Andersen - Bielenberg - Nightman

You cant go to SK insider and see the photos and not think that gaming will become the biggest thing ever.
SSJ - Landed 5 sold out in just over 4 hours... 50 more spaces available for this one but I bet its just as quick! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The fact we the average gamer can't see those since only the few hundred with SK insider accounts can is exactly why gaming won't become the biggest thing ever. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I have to agree with whats been said, Landed was announced too close to the event time. Obviously i dunno what happens at your end in regards to booking the venue... but yeh.

Rest assured the Intel/Landed balance is better this time and the Landed tournament(s) will be absolutely fantastic... with the Landed cs final being played on the Intel stage with TsN commentry and the works.
Now come on...how often do you get the chance to do that! :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I seem to remember Phle saying that Landed would never 'go pro' but i guess Si had other ideas ;-)

Landed still has the community feel it had back in the first couple of events, we've just got progressively bigger and better.
Theres a difference between going 'pro' and running a professional organisation. I hope we've found the balance. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
