All Games: ESL announces LA Global Challenge

By: Luis Mira - Published August 31, 2008 at 3:47 PM EDT - Writer Archive

The Electronic Sports League has confirmed that Los Angeles will stage the second Intel Extreme Masters III Global Challenge event.

The ESL had announced that the second Global Challenge event would not take place in New York City after the Digital Life Trade Fair was canceled, which left the organisation in a quest to find an adequate replacement on U.S. soil.

It has now been confirmed that the second Global Challenge, which will feature Counter-Strike: 1.6 and World of Warcraft, is due to take place at the E for All Expo in Los Angeles from October 3rd-5th.

Sixteen Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft teams will clash for a total prize purse of $80,000 USD, as well as two continental spots in the season's Global Finals.

The ESL event is scheduled to take place at the exact same time as Major League Gaming's third PC Circuit event, which will be held Dallas, Texas, and will feature World of Warcraft as well.

For detailed info on how to participate in the Global Challenge event, visit the ESL page.

#8 wcg and the extreme masters event are both at the e4all - shouldn't be a problem for the cs teams to play in both tournaments
mlg dallas is at the same time too, but obviously not at e4all ;)

Is this the same date as MLG Dallas?

#check-six www.check6gaming.com

Nice event

I call things as I see it

#9 Maybe, but what if the team has 2 matches to play at the same time because of ESL and WCG? :P

We are clearing schedules with WCG so teams can attend both #17 :p

how much is the admission ?

I wanna go but i dont know how much its gonna cost. I think its like 99 bux for 1 day

#19 http://eforallexpo.com/content/564/pricing/ - single day tickets are $35 and a ticket for the entire weekend is $75 (well if you register today it's still $30/$60)

teams playing at our event get tickets from us though
