ESWC 2010 (9:00 AM)

An international meet for the world’s best players, the Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) will be held for the first time at Disneyland® Paris by Games Solution, who recently bought out the brand. This 7th edition will take place from June 30th to July 4th, 2010 and will gather the 600 best players and teams on the planet.

10 tournaments to share a passion, together

Introduced for the first time in 2003, the ESWC has established itself as the leading event in the world of video games. The only one of its kind, this event is an annual electronic sports celebration that gathers the best teams in the world for competing on video games specially designed and adapted to player confrontation.

The 2010 programme will include 5 tournaments for console games and 5 tournaments for PC games: Counter Strike, Counter Strike Women, Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne, Trackmania ESWC, Quake, Defense of the Ancient, Need for speed Shift, Street Fighter 4, Fifa 2010 and Guitar Hero. The stakes for the players are no small matter either. Beyond the battle for the World Champion title in their discipline, the $213,500 award is likely to get the attention of more than just a few enthusiasts.

National qualifications

Established in over 50 countries, the ESWC competition is not open to all. Any player wishing to take part must attend one or more national events during the season in order to ultimately qualify for the national heats, which are held by local organizations. Participants who make the finals will qualify for the ESWC. Qualifying heats started as of January 2010 and will run till April. The national finals will take place in May 2010.

The qualification system often depends on the number of contestants and on how much interest electronic sports can spark off in the country, as well as on the quality of the national organizations involved. Some countries like Denmark have high-level players but do not have major local tournaments, and have thus been deprived of ESWC qualifications for years, while other countries like the United Kingdom boast a very active national community and wide-scale events, but have never succeeded in placing a single player in the finals.

The ESWC will be establishing its quarters in the impressive Disney’s Newport Bay Club® Convention Centre at Disneyland Paris. The event will be broadcast to over 50 countries and live on Internet.
