i didnt follow the development of the eswc brand after the first bankrupt of games-services, is the new owner following the footsteps of matthieu dallon or what can we expect from the event?
in any way, this can only be good news

Great news, but apparently no real money behind it :/
Here's hoping it works out, and Quake gets nice prize money !

OMG YESSSSSS!!!

FINALLY!!!

GUITAR HERO FOR TEH RULEZ

Is there an event announced for this? Date/location?

It says:

"World’s top gamers will be able to compete during the 7 th Electronic Sports Wold Cup™ 2010 Grand Final (ESWC 2010) in Paris, France from June 30 to July 4, 2010. "

And that's right from the website.

So I guess it's just an open tournament for anyone to go? No Qualifiers?

Here's the whole press release:

Paris, France – November 23, 2009

2009 edition did not happen, but 2010 will. World’s top gamers will be able to compete during the 7 th Electronic Sports Wold Cup™ 2010 Grand Final (ESWC 2010) in Paris, France from June 30 to July 4, 2010.

DIP-Organisation, well known in France for the several events handled since five years, will organize the event in partnership with well known video games organisations.

The ESWC 2010 will be held in Disneyland ® Paris, the famous entertainment park in the Paris neighbourhood.
Disneyland® Paris will host the video games event in Disney®Village, an area including shopping, dining, cinemas, dancing and live entertainment for the whole family and open to anybody, park client as simple visitor.
Beside the event venue, Disneyland® Paris will also provide accommodations for the 600 champions during their journey among the numerous hotels of the resort.

ESWC 2010 competitors will vie for $200,000 in prize money divided between the World Champions and their challengers in several tournaments

Qualification process will start in January 2010, DIP-Organisation is aiming to gather 32 countries to participate in the ESWC come back.

DIP-Organisation bought the ESWC brandand trademark in August 2009.
DIP-Organisation did not buy the company organizing ESWC so far.
In consequences, DIP-Organisation is not in charge of any obligation to pay 2008 cash prize or any debt that have not been paid by the last organisation.
However , in order to prevent more harm and damage to the ESWC image and to maintain coherent the ESWC project and spirit, DIP-Organisation is studying the possibilities to found a way to compensate the last ESWC champions.

Stay tuned!

maybe we'll get a disney update with mickeymouse models and stuff

They'd probably have to sue you for recording a replay with the model in it.

lol this is sad

So ESWC is sponsored by Disney? And there's only 200k up for grabs??

Good news either way.

200k with less games would be dope, but its still fine
didnt expect much from eswc anymore

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this might be a fake and probaly won't happen.

dunno but i doubt

OH MY GOSH!!!!!

Seriously, what is this game about? What fucked-up, testosterone-lacking, cocksucking, Peter Pan-type faggotheaded dumbass cretin Hana Montana furfag debilitated ozone-destroying frogface double-teamed dickwad with an explosive colon syndrome ever thought about including Guitar Hero?
