DSRack LAN with �76,200 prizemoney

[Swain`]

A very interesting LAN event called DSRack will be hosted in Copenhagen, Denmark with a prize purse of �76,200 for 6 different games which are the following:

• Counter-Strike: Source (5on5) - �25,000
• Counter-Strike 1.6 (5on5) - �25,000
• Call of Duty 4 (5on5) - �20,000
• StarCraft II (1on1, 2on2 and FFA) - �5,000
• DotA or HoN (5on5) - �1,000
• Bowling (FFA) - �200

The prize money distribution is really weird especially for a game such as StarCraft II which has been a real success since its release notably with the IEM Gamescom, MLG Raleigh and more recently the GomTv League which is currently running in Seoul, South Korea.

It is also disappointing to see such a low prize money for DotA or HoN considering the good teams there are in Northern Europe.

The organizers preferred to favour first-person shooter games such as Counter-Strike 1.6 and Source as well as Call of Duty 4 which have ~92% of the prize money.


More details about this LAN event:

• Date: 18 � 24. of October 2010. Both days included.
