The E-Sports World Cup has left France.
ESWC boss Mattieu Dallon has made good on his promise to keep at least some semblance of the ESWC in its home country, however, and the organization today announced the ESWC Masters for July 4-6, 2008 in Paris Bercy.
ESWC Masters will be an invite competition for all the official ESWC disciplines, including Defense of the Ancients, Trackmania Nations, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Counter-Strike 1.6 (mixed and ladies) and (hail to the king, baby!) Quake 3. The winners will all receive berths into the Grand Final.
Prizing, autoberth, and qualification details will be released at a later date.
Today the regulation committee of the Electronic Sports World Cup announced the publication of official rules for the first pool of games selected for the upcoming season. These rules will be applied in all national preliminaries tournaments, national finals, Masters and the Grand Final of ESWC 2008.
