Frags are going to be coming frequently and furiously at the World Cyber Games 2008 US Open, which is kicking of New York City next week, on May 31st.
Not only will some of the most skilled, and most competitive, dudes (and dudettes) in gaming be present in this massive tournament being sponsored by Samsung, but also, hordes of noobs will be there as well. This is the "US Open" after-all -- so, there will be plenty of tournaments open to be gamers who just go to the event and sign up on the spot. Who knows -- if you got what it takes, you can climb over that inevitable mountain of skillz-free gamers to reach the apex of this gaming competition: being invited to the World Cyber Games Grand Final in Germany, next November.
"The gamers will be competing in the hottest PC and Xbox 360 games on the market including: Half-Life®: Counter-Strike™ 1.6 (PC), StarCraft®: Brood War™ (PC), WarCraft® III: The Frozen Throne™ (PC), Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath™ (PC), Age of Empires® III: The Asian Dynasties (PC), FIFA Soccer 08 (PC), Carom 3D (PC), Need For Speed™ ProStreet (Xbox 360), Halo® 3 (Xbox 360), Project Gotham Racing® 4 (Xbox 360), Guitar Hero® III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360) and Virtua Fighter® 5 (Xbox 360)," informs a press release.
Gamers will be competing for $20,000 in cash and prizes. (Which actually seems kind of slight... Come'on Samsung, pony up some cash. It's mostly gamers that are buying your giant monitors, using your GDDR memory and all your other fine, high-end products.)
