Event: Gears of War Global Xbox Live Tournament

We all know how great of a title Gears of War is. What we don’t know is who’s the greatest GoW player out there. It could be you, it could be us, and to officially settle this, we invite you to join the tournament being set-up by Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games. The event is being sanctioned by the World Cyber Games (WCG) and everyone around the world can participate.

Here’s how Gears of War Global Xbox Live Tournament works: The event itself runs from April 9 to May 6. During this period, compete in GoW ranked matches over at Xbox Live. The top four eligible ranked players for each participating country will then be competing in their country’s 2007 World Cyber Games National Championship event.

After the elimination round, the stakes get higher. The top 11 finalists in the world will then be sent to Prague, Czech Republic in July to slug it out in the Grand Final. “We are thrilled to offer the chance for gamers across the world to come together and share the glories of blowing apart someone into little chunks.May the best man, or Locust, win,” quipped Cliff Bleszinski, quite thrilled.

And he should be thrilled because the prizes are rather very, well, rewarding. They include:

• Grand prize(s): The 11 top ranked overall players receive a trip for 2 to Prague to compete in the Gears of War World Finals.
• Secondary prize(s): The top 12-25 overall ranked players (after the Grand Prizes have been awarded) receive an Xbox 360 Bundle (Xbox 360 Pro Console, Viva Piñata, Project Gotham Racing 3, Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Volume 1, Kameo, and Xbox Live Gold 12 month subscription) and Gears of War faceplates and statues.
• World Cyber Games Prize(s): The top 4 overall ranked players in each participating country win a trip and automatic entrance to their country’s 2007 World Cyber Games National Championship event.

Registration for the tournament began last March 29 and will end on April 29. To participate and know more about the event’s rules and details, just click the Read link below. See you there!
