seedings were determined based on each team's and player's achievements
at international events during the 2006 season. With the help of the
KODE5 Revolutionary Council, KODE5 believes that the seedings will
result in an exciting tournament for e-sports fans around the world.
For fans to tune in, KODE5 has recruited the help of the Team Sportscast Network (www.tsncentral.com)
to provide their hard-hitting shoutcasts to thousands of viewers across
the Internet. English coverage of the KODE5 Event will be available on
GotFrag (www.gotfrag.com) as well as the official KODE5 website (www.kode5.com).
The
KODE5 Global Finals celebrates the dedication, hard work, perseverance,
and spirit of all gamers who practice day-in and day-out to perfect
their game. E-sports requires he same hand-eye coordination, strategy,
and teamwork of traditional sports. Thus, it was only fitting to hold
the KODE5 Global Finals in a place that is one of the official venues
of the 2008 Olympic Games “ The Beihang University Sports Center. This
multi-sport facility covers almost 14,000 square meters of space, and
can accommodate over 4,600 spectators. In 2006, the Beihang University
Sports Center will be the venue of the KODE5 Global Finals.
"By
consulting with the Revolutionary Council, we are confident that the
seeding for the Global Finals will make for a fair and action-packed
tournament," says KODE5 Revolutionary-in-Command Lester Lau. "We wish
all gamers the best of luck at the tournament, and encourage all
e-sports fanatics around the world to tune in to TSN, GotFrag, and the
official KODE5 website for all the action of the KODE5 Global Finals."
