digifest announces 2011 event

6-2-2011 22:21

The organisation behind digifest has revealed the first details about the upcoming event.

The 2011 edition of digifest, a prestigious Estonian LAN event, will take place from 22-23 March at the Solaris Entertainment & Lifestyle Centre in Tallinn.

The Counter-Strike tournament, which will run on the LAN party's computers, and not on the players' own PCs, will feature 16 teams, four from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland.

The online qualifiers for Estonia and Finland will run from 4-6 March, while the ones for Latvia and Lithuania will be played exactly one week later.

The winner of the digifest competition will receive €2,500 plus a spot at a "world famous LAN party", whose named will be revealed later this month.

It is believed that this LAN party is DreamHack, as digifest has organised qualifiers for the famous Swedish event in the past.

The exact prize distribution will be released by 1 March at the latest. The signup fee will be €15 per player and €75 per team.

Good luck

Well actually the main organizer guy of digifest made an official-like forum post to Estonian CS forums even tho they haven't posted the news on digifest's own website.

2011-02-06 23:40

it was digifest's main organiser who came to me to write the news, what are you talking about?

2011-02-07 00:48

Well, then it's my bad. Didn't expect it from digifest organizers to act like that ^^

2011-02-07 00:56

the news is up on the homepage ^^

2011-02-07 07:12

2011-02-07 10:31

i really hope an est team wins

2011-02-07 10:42

never <: it will be the same like digifest 2009 where wooSai took 1st place..

2011-02-07 11:15

thats what im sayin bro its lame when its an est tournament and some random team takes it, like the 4K lan... it was something like a Norwegian team or something that won

2011-02-07 12:43

isnt it like that everywhere?

2011-02-07 12:49

not always, some very big tournaments with teams from all over the place like DH and IEM ofc it wont be won by the host nation but asus cup and the 4K Lan i reallythough home nations would take it

2011-02-07 12:53

HMM, could some Swedish-speaking person clarify this to me? im Finnish so my Swedish skills aint that good, but what i think i learned from a fragbite news conserning about DreamHack in 2011 was that it does NOT have counter-strike as their main game. three selected games are Bloodline Champions (3on3) Quake Live (4on4 och 1on1) Starcraft 2 (1on1) im surprised there isnt news about this on HLTV.org

hahaha lose to bulgaria? fucking noobs

2011-02-07 14:29

true but .fi rush every round > all

2011-02-07 17:15

I am curious how many teams from Finland will participate in Online Qualification because every time when it comes to a regular Finnish LAN only 4-6 teams attend it while in online competition there are dozens of teams. Still I predict only 4 teams will participate in qualis thus all 4 will get a spot for the main round as granted :S
