Championship Gaming Series comes around again

Qualifiers to be held in Birmingham in May

NEWS: 4 April 2008 16:44 GMT by Katie Scott

Championship Gaming Series has announced the dates for the 2008 qualifier and draft events for European gamers.

Online registration is now open to be in with a chance of competing for $53,000 in prize money.

The qualifier events will take place on 16-18 May at Omega Sektor in Birmingham.

General managers for the league’s UK teams, Birmingham Salvo and London Mint, as well as general managers for the league’s European teams, Berlin Allianz and Stockholm Magnetik, will be scouting players at the events to decide which gamers they will draft to their respective 2008 team rosters.

The qualifier events will include tournaments in each of the league’s official games, Counter-Strike:Source, FIFA 08, Forza Motorsport 2, and Dead or Alive 4.

The top eight UK finishers and the top eight European finishers in each game will receive cash prizes.

On the evening of 17 May, the general managers will each announce the identities of one franchise player and up to four protected players from their respective 2007 teams who will be re-signed for the 2008 season.

After the competitions end on 18 May, at the UK Draft and the European Draft, the general managers will face off and choose the remaining players to fill their ten-player team rosters.

And the chosen few will fly to Los Angeles between 26-29 June for an all-expenses-paid trip where they will compete separately on television at CGS Studios in the 2008 UK Final and the 2008 European Final.

The winner of the UK Final and the European Final will each earn a berth to return to Los Angeles from 14-28 July and compete against the best teams from the rest of the world at the CGS 2008 World Final.

Teams at the World Final will compete for $1,000,000 in prize money and the top team will receive $500,000.

You can register now.
