Our Concept:

A place where the best fighters from all five continents will face each other for three days of fierce competition.

After a 2010 Edition acclaimed by both the press and the public, the World Game Cup is back with an even more fun and spectacular program.

New in the 2011 Edition:

The World Game Cup village is expanding, with a real arcade zone, a casual play section and a press section.

In the same spirit, the three stages will host various shows:

The « Main Stage » for the final stages of the console competitions and the World Team Cup.
The « Round Stage » to ensure everyone gets to see the best of the qualification phases of the console tournaments.
The « Arcade Stage » for the new arcade tournaments!

And last but not least, our streaming feed will mark the online first of the World Game Cup, to offer even more entertainment for the public & garner an even larger audience with those who couldn't make the trip.

The rules & regulations of the tournaments, detailed schedule, dotations and cash-prizes will be announced in early October with the opening of the registations and the second press release.
