Chris Taylor’s Gas Powered Games, Corp., a leading developer of multi-platform interactive entertainment, today announced a series of Supreme Commander tournaments that will be played via the GPGnet online gaming service. The first tournament is scheduled for July 28th and 29th and will have a $5,000 prize fund. In addition to the prize money, players will also compete for the "UEF Cup".
“Gas Powered Games has made a strong and long-term commitment to Supreme Commander’s online multiplayer audience”, said Kent McNall, Producer of GPGnet. “Tournaments have been very popular with our players, and participation in them has grown steadily with players across all experience and skill levels. With four great tournaments and a significant prize fund, we continue that commitment to our Supreme Commander community.”
There will be four tournaments as part of the “Supreme Commander Faction Tournament Cycle”, with the tournaments running at roughly three month intervals. The first tournament will feature the three current factions in Supreme Commander--UEF, Aeon and Cybran--and later tournaments will include a fourth faction, the Seraphim. The Seraphim will be introduced in the forthcoming Supreme Commander standalone expansion, Forged Alliance, which is slated for release later in 2007.
“The $5,000 prize fund will be distributed across all skill levels of our players,” explained McNall. “We’ve got a broad base of community members that participate in tournaments on GPGnet. As with most games, the elite players represent a small fraction of our tournament community, so our prize fund, while generous to the top players, is also generous to other skill levels, as well. Everyone has a chance to win.”
The tournaments will be played on GPG’s exclusive GPGnet online gaming service, and players who have Supreme Commander can register for the tournament directly through GPGnet.
