World Cyber Games 2003 - UK Qualifiers

Posted by Myers at 07:31 28/11/2002.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to announce that UKTerrorist can relate some exclusive information concerning the WCG 2003 UK Qualiifers.

This event is set to be big, and I mean BIG. This year the event will be held at the XSGames show at the NEC in Birmingham. To give you a scale of how big this event is set to be, in October we had 400 square feet and made a pretty good job with so much space. This year the WCG has 7000 square feet, the equivalent of 4 football pitches.

The event will take place from Friday 25th July - Tuesday 29th July and there will be over 400 top spec gaming computers and 100+ Xboxs to support Halo events.

Rumoured sponsors for the WCG 2003 UK quals includes Samsung, Microsoft, Addidas, AMD etc...

Once again the event will be organised by Sujoy Roy and Dominic Mulroy of the VGA who believe this will be the "biggest ever event in Europe." After listening to much feedback from this year's event, they've made several changes, a major being that the event will close at 10pm each day and not 6pm which caused a few problems on the Saturday with some hasty decisions.

So make a space in your diaries and forget about all other events, because this will be the event all true gamers would want to attend.

Actually that's 7,000 square metres, almost 10 times more space than 7,000 square feet! And none of this is confirmed yet, we'll have firm plans set by the end of the year. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

And... we are listening to all of the comments from last year! More space for each player of course. Also I'm trying to work out a way to reduce the noise pollution near the playing computers. Not sure how we'll manage it but we're trying. Finally there'll be a lot more space for watching finals comfortably. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

mmmmm....I see LAN wars ahead.

If this event goes anything like the other events I have attended or had feed back about,it will be very good. The last VGA run event I was at was superb. However 7,000 sq METERES is whole lot diffrent and I am sure it will bring new challenges to the team.

I think it will be a specticle and one that will be well attended. Have VGA looked into a Travel sponsor so that both teams and spectators/visitors can get to the event cheaply or even for free?

Anyways gl guyz....this event is 24/7 work, now and right up until the event.

If you ned any help, you have my number. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
