WSVG 2007 Announced *update*

wsvg

It's not been so long since the Finals of the World Series of Video Games 2006 were held at the Chelsea Piers in New York. However, only a few hours ago the company announced the World Series of Video Games for 2007, but not the games that will be played.

At the moment, the only information we know is that this years WSVG Season will include five qualification events, in five different parts of the world. Regarding the games that will be played, the organisers did not state any specificss, only that there will be two computer games and two console games.

Furthermore they announced that the season would present the competitors with the chance to win a share of $750,000. With only two computer games being part of this years season it is certain that one of the three main games, Counter-Strike, Quake 4 and Warcraft III, will not included in this season. Which would you prefer to go?

The following is the schedule of events:

May 1-3: Wuhan, China
June 21-24: LANWAR, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
July 5-8: Summer Championships, Dallas, Texas, USA
August 23-26: Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida, USA
October: Rome or London (TBA)
November 29-December 2: Jönköping, Dreamhack, Sweden

Could be CSS and quake next year. They had massive media through quake so I doubt they'll drop that :)

I believe Counter-Strike will be left out, considering they keep talking about "players" and not "teams.

Well in my guess its gonna be WC3 and CSS, but in the US Quake often is favored so we'll see what they're gonna pick, they could ad 1 game at the last moment though, if they dont come to an agreement :P

It's going to be Counter-Strike 1.6 and Quake 4. It's not going to be WC3 :\. And it won't be Source because only American teams have switched to Source for CGS, but most of them will still compete in 1.6 and around the world 1.6 is more popular. So, ya.
Strive for the best, expect nothing less...

Who ever wants to bet with me, raise your bets please. I believe they will remove the WC3 tour, unfortunately.

cant imagine how the Wuhan Stage will be processed if no wc3.
Maybe Wc3 will be retained only in China, after all wc3 is too hot in China
