by Trowa • 3 Apr 2008, 19:45 • News
The Danish esport promoters at Roskilde have made a push to further cement CoD4 as the future of competitive FPS and try and attract teams not only from Europe but as many international teams aswell.

There was no end of hype over the i33 CoD4 tournament about how it was shadowing the CS:S tournament in terms of prize purse however now the Danish LAN event, 'The Experiece', have now created a prize fund over double that of i33. The total prize fund at i33 was an impressive 12,000€ however The Experience CoD4 tournament will see a prize fund of 25,000€!

This mightly LAN will take place in Roskilde, Denmark on July 31 - August 2 and will hose a Call of Duty 4 and FIFA 08 tournamnent. The FIFA 08 tournament will have a prize purse of 3000€. There will also be a Counter-Strike:Source tournament which will be played between July 24th and July 26th but will boast a modest in comparision 12500€ first prize.

Tickets will be on sale on April 21. Ticket price for 5 players and 2 staff members for Call of Duty4 will be 500€.

Remember that's split up between 2 Staff and 5 players, so each person is only having to pay 71.40 Euros each for entrance, so it isn't too bad. ;)

MerlinatoR 3 Apr 2008, 23:03
manager + other I guess. maybe owner or press?depends how advanced a gaming team is. should be optional I feel- just penalises smaller teams more (they are already penalised for the fact they will probably not win the tourney..)

That's a LOT of money as entry fee, lol.

Sarabande4000 4 Apr 2008, 00:05
I believe it is worth mentioning the B-tournament, which is half price (250€) entrance fee for 5 players and 2 staff, and gives access to the A-tournament for the 4 best teams.

Sa7z 4 Apr 2008, 00:59

Look at what you get in return aswell. This is non-BYOC with a well filled prize purse.

An average BYOC LAN might cost you €30-40 in the Benelux, and for that you get a shitty table, a chair that breaks your back and if you're lucky they have around €500 and a couple of 5Hv2 headsets as prizes.

Rhand 4 Apr 2008, 13:57
I know that. I just find it a LOT of money. I'm a little cheap on this area :P

Trowa 4 Apr 2008, 01:00
Imo the entry fee, although it will help towards the prize purse is simply a barrier to entry. It filters out the casual teams from the competative ones.

But the barrier to entry isnt even that deer....

71.40 odd euros each. That is cheaper than the iseries...

It really isn't that much to pay to have a chance at 25,000euros

Sarabande4000 4 Apr 2008, 01:19
Exactly and that is why we have both an A-tournament (500 €) and a B-tournament (250 €)
