Event: WCG'08

Update ::
The official announcement has been cancelled over on readmore.de with no explanation as to why.

According to SK-Gaming news crew, in 2008 we can expect a World Cyber Games in Europe again.

The 2008 WCG event is scheduled for 5th to 8th November in Cologne,

Germany. The official contract will be signed in a press conference on 13th March 2007, where the president and CEO of the International Cyber Marketing (ICM), Hyoung Seok Kim and the mayor of Cologne, Fritz Schramma takes part.

Cologne Isn't really unknown for the gamers, since quite a few events has been taken place there already. Like ESL WC3L Grand Finals, Battle.net finals and CPL Europe.

This year the World Cyber Games will be held in Seattle,

USA between 4th-7th October 2007.

Also, what would you call the CeBit where they actually played Quake last year?

I have 0.3% interest in going to WCG2008 after I've been to Italian grande fiasco bs in 2006. But hey, that's Germany and totally different approach to esports. But hey again, that's WCG which gets worse year by year with Singapore being a pleasant exception.

The rumor is the event will feature Starcraft, FIFA and Barbie Cowgirl.

What's there left at WCG?

1.6 is not modern with all CSS stream going on
and no Quake or any half decent DM 1v1 game

Can ESR staff create a filter for WCG?

Readmore is pretty well known for making up bull.

Such as the Shortround joining 4K story.

Shortround was meant to join 4K, but this got cancelled later after contract issues with Mousesports.
