This afternoon was announced the new owner of the brand ESWC, which was part of a bigger package. For 50 000€, Stéphane Cosse with his society DIP Communication now owns the many domain names affiliated with the brands, including ESWC. The French part of what's left of Games-Services was also included in the package, with brands such as "La Coupe de France des Jeux Vidéo" and "la Coupe du Monde des Jeux Vidéo".

The man is based in the south of France and already has a reputation in the international esport scene. He was the manager of the gaming center and CS team Adéclik back in 2000, which also held the Clickarena event in may 2003. This LAN is still remembered for its bad organization and some unpaid cash prizes. Since that, Stéphane was only involved in smaller projects. An few interviews in French with him will be published later today.

Also, the "Cyberleagues" package which contained all the rankings software was bought by Lan Festival for 1 500€.
