As planned back in 2009, the World Cyber Games will be held in Los Angeles. LA is no stranger when it comes to large, profesional, video game events. They held both the CGS and WCG Gaming show earlier in 2009. LA is also the home of one of the biggest names in eSports, compLexity gaming.
Details of the venue and the dates had been a close kept secret with no
official announcements. However Cadred can reveal this to our readers
after stumbling across the event being displayed in the venue's events
calender, even though the WCG site itself is still showing as "TBA".
The Los Angeles Convention Center will be this years host if their calendar is to be believed and the event will take place between the 28th September and the 3rd of October.
Naturally although nothing is confirmed it does beg the question why
would the center be showing it on its calendar if it wasn't going to
happen. This date is significantly earlier in the year than previous
events.
WCG CEO Hyoung-Seok Kim issued this statement:
After taking into careful consideration the many factors involved with
selecting the host city, the World Cyber Games Committee came to a
clear decision with Los Angeles. San Francisco and Seattle were
extremely successful events and we look forward to returning to the
United States for our 10-year anniversary.
Moreover, we are proud to announce one main sponsor, Thermaltake, along with Tt eSports, will be the main sponsors of WCG 2010.
