World Cyber Games in Ireland
August 10th, 2006
For years Ireland has had no representation in the WCG (one of the largest international e-Sports competitions), but this year Mindphuck has announced that qualifiers will be held at The Digital Hub in Dublin. WCG 2006 finals will be held in Monza, Italy, where approx 70 countries will participate. I don’t see any details of the prize money, but it is likely to be very substantial. Unfortunately there are no deathmatch games this season, the list of games are as follows:
- Fifa Soccer 06 (pc)
- Half Life - Counter Strike 1.6 (pc)
- Need for Speed : most wanted (pc)
- Starcraft : Brood War (pc)
- Warcraft III : Frozen Throne (pc)
- Dawn of War : Winter Assault (pc)
- Dead or Alive 4 (xbox 360)
- Project Gotham Racing 3 (xbox 360)
See World Cyber Games Ireland for details. WGC 2006 site is here - worth visiting if only for the amazingly cheesy background music.
