WCG confirms 2010 event plans

10-10-2009 05:24

The World Cyber Games commitee has exclusively confirmed to HLTV.org that plans are in motion to organise the 2010 event.

There has been speculation over whether there will be any more WCG events after this year's World Finals in Chengdu as the organisation behind the competition has shed no light about its future plans.

Last year, Chengdu was announced as the hosting city for the 2009 event in April, but the South Korean-based organisation has remained tight-lipped on the Chinese city's successor.

Contacted by HLTV.org, WCG official Yvette In revealed that talks are underway regarding next year's event, and that the new hosting city will soon be announced.

"We are still in the process of selecting it [hosting city]," In told HLTV.org. "Since 2010 is the 10th anniversary of the WCG we are taking more time to select the best city than usual."

With the 2009 WCG Finals taking place in just one month's time, it could be possible that the hosting city for next year's event will be announced at the official press conference, to take place prior to the start of the tournaments.

#1 Going to be epic!

2009-10-10 08:38

good news

2009-10-10 08:39

North America would be cool imo but if not, better center Europe then Asia :/

2009-10-10 08:46

+1 The best place imo would be somewhere in the east europe, so that both asian and european people could watch the games at decent hours... Or in Moscow

2009-10-10 12:51

I'd prefer Canada, but It'd be bad for european spectators to have the grand final at 5am

2009-10-10 08:52

Rio de Janeiro WCG 2010 haueh

2009-10-10 08:55

2009-10-10 10:32

I will laugh if they choose Moscow =D

2009-10-10 09:22

it would be cool if they choose some of central europe city

2009-10-10 09:40

Hmmm want special place? Choose moon

2009-10-10 09:41

Athens.

2009-10-10 09:49

Germany is so far the best host country for cs events, to be honest!

2009-10-10 10:08

Ye, and their stupid government will ban LAN events couz 1 idiot killed innocent ppl...

2009-10-10 11:08

Great, Germany would be a good choice but wherever it is I am sure it will be great

2009-10-10 10:13

VIENNA! :)

2009-10-10 10:16

2009-10-10 10:48

Australia :D Come!

2009-10-10 10:57

Select Germany or France... I've heard that Poland is also able to organise event like global WCG, but I'd prefer to wait some time to make more arrangments. I wish to visit Berlin for WCG 2010. It's only 300 km's and that's less than from my city to Warsaw :-)

2009-10-10 11:09

I would like to know where cs1.6 started ? There should be that event --> in my opinion ;)

2009-10-10 11:14

"There has been speculation over whether there will be any more WCG events after this year's World Finals in Chengdu" im asking if there will be a WCG event after 2010, so yes?

2009-10-10 12:43

2009-10-10 12:48

France is the best imo... remember eswc

2009-10-10 13:01

2009-10-10 21:41

in denmark again with NO HLTV/STREAM HAHA but i still like denmark cuz nixon and nomad from there <3

2009-10-11 04:09

I hope they picked Seoul. Or Japan, or India or Russia. Somewhere farther east than Europe, it makes for better watching time for me :) USA or Brazil would be boss though!

2009-10-11 04:53

Australia maybe ;)?

2009-10-11 20:33

I dont see why Australia cant host an event like this, we have the right people to organise it, we are IMO the best country in the world, and we have some decent teams that can compete to a certain extent and it will certainly help our cs scene. Pick Australia pl0x
