Intel Pro Gaming

Post by Sureal »

Has anyone heard of this Intel Masters gaming thing at the science museum in london on the 21st of December. From what i've heard, Intel is organising a huge gaming competition were clans fromm all over the country compete on Counterstrike, Warcraft 3 and RTCW. The prize is an incredible £25,000.

I heard that they trying to encourage proffesional gaming in England, and, wait for it... a spectator sport!?

Has anyone else heard of this?

I think that to spectate you can just show up in the morning. But the clans have already been chosen. They got invited.
