World CyberGames In India

A month ago, I had wondered why Indiagames hadn’t sponsored the World Gamemaster Tournament. Now I know why: The Times of India (Bangalore) reports that Indiagames has organized the Indian leg of the World Cyber Games 2006, with Samsung as its main sponsor. The semi-finals and finals are in Mumbai on the 26th and 27th of September respectively. The games seem common across competitions – Counter Strike, Warcraft III, Need for Speed and Fifa Soccer 2006. Strangely enough, the WCG India website lists Warcraft III with an image from Starcraft (also by Blizzard) as the background (screencap). The finals will be between winners from 70 countries, at Monza , Italy, between October 18th and 22. That makes it three such tournaments announced in the last one month.
