---------- Introduction ----------

New Company. New Direction. World Cyber Games Australia is owned by a new company from the last couple of years, and are investing heavily into making this years event the best ever!

The first WCG qualifier is at CityHunter Chatswood, Burwood and Chinatwon (Chinatown for Fifa), and we are flying a huge 56 people up to the National Finals at the EB Expo on the Gold Coast, and giving away more than $20 000 in prizes and cash to participants and spectators.

The National Competition with qualifiers and paid flights and accommodation is put on by World Cyber Games, with the chance to go on and compete at the international level, representing Australia for the chance at $10 000 of dollar at the international championships, along with the right to call yourself the worlds best gamers, and the non-WCG titles which are supported by WCG's partner event, Red Carpet Gaming (shown below), have the chance to qualify for the National Finals as well, however instead of representing Australia at the WCG international finals, they will battle it out to be called Australias best gamers, and for thousands in cash and product. The games supported are below:

• Counter-Strike 1.6 5v5 (WCG Title)
  
• StarCraft II 1v1 (WCG Title)
  
• League of Legends 5v5 (WCG Title)
  
• Fifa 11 1v1 (Xbox 360) (WCG Title)
  
• Tekken 6 1v1 (PlayStation 3) (WCG Title)
  
• Counter-Strike:Source 5v5
  
• Call of Duty 4 5v5
  
• Heroes of Newerth 5v5
  
• Team Fortress 2 6v6 (no Nationals, but heaps of prizes)

---------- The Nationals ----------

Event: EB Expo Nationals
Date: October 15th - 16th
Venue: Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre
Entry Fee: Free

The EB Expo is Australias largest consumer gaming show, featuring the latest (and upcoming!) products from companies such as Activision-Blizzard, EA Games, Nintendo all the way through to Razer, Sega and Xbox. With 15 000 participants across 10 000 square meters at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre (GCCEC), this is an event you do not want to miss.

National Finalists will compete at the EB Expo at the WCG stall and at the main stage in the EB Arena, in front of crowds of thousands for the right to be crowed, Australia's best gamers. We are planning to around 350 of Australia's top gamers from around the country, with a flights/accommodation/entertainment package valued at $1 500 per person!

Each National Final will consist of at least 16 teams, or more in the case of the 1v1 games. Those who are not flown in, but prove themselves as amongst the best will be invited to be a part of the event.

Prizes are still to be announced, however the prize pool will have thousands in cash and products.

This event will no doubt be the biggest the Australian competitive gaming scene has seen, and will change how World Cyber Games was run under previous companies, so that is will be bigger, better and the best yet.


---------- Last Words ----------

Show your support by getting a team together and heading to one of the qualifiers. It is amazing meeting all the people you game with online and even better when you get a shot at winning some nice prizes. The more teams that attend the qualifier in Sydney on the 25th of this month will help show the event organisers that it is worth while running these events in the other states.

People of all ages can attend, there is no age restrictions. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask and I hope to see you at these events.

holy shit, this is a huge event and cant wait to see how it turns out. i may go to brizzy for the qualifier or even betta watch the nationals at the GC convention center. should be an awesome event

may be a dump question but is it pc or xbox 360

so is fifa at burwood, chatswood or chinatown?

Yeah a bit confusing, but the only way we could source 300 computers and the area to do Fifa


Xbox 360 Having said that, if you have converters for PS3 or PC, there's no problem in using them.

Definately going to the Chinatown one for the FIFA qualifiers and the Burwood one for the LoL qualifiers, hope to see a great turnout!

sigh no wa qualifier
