Gamescampus.com’s Shot-Online, an online golf game, has been chosen as an official game of the 2009 Game and Game World Championship. No surprise there—Shot-Online looks great from every angle.
I won’t go into a lengthy discussion of what Game and Game World Championship is. Suffice to say it’s a championship sponsored by gameNgame.com, a free online game service provided by the Korea Culture, Contents Agency, and the Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and hosted by the Korean SW Industry Promotion Agency.
Shot-Online has been a part of the Game and Game World Championship since its inception and this year promises a better showcase for massively multiplayer online games talents. At the moment, the Game and Game World Championship 2009 features three online games: Shot-Online, Silkroad Online, and Atlantica Online.
Bah, enough of my ranting. Let’s hear about it directly from Gamescampus.com and OnNet USA:
San Jose-based online games publisher Gamescampus.com has announced that Shot-Online has once again been chosen as an official game of 2009 GNGWC. The tournament is a unique opportunity for Shot-Online players to take their online golfing experience offline, giving them a chance to compete face-to-face with their fellow Shot-Online players across the world. Gamescampus and GNGWC are offering thousands in cash prizes, with the best Shot-Online players also winning a trip to Korea for the grand finals.
Multiple countries will take part in the tournament, including those in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. Each will hold local contests with the final global match being held in Korea this November where 16 lucky finalists will compete for the grand prize.
The GNGWC qualifying events will take place from June through November 2009. The first preliminary competitions for Europe will take place July 10th through July 16th in Germany with a regional final occurring July 31st at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. The qualifying rounds for North America, Korea, South America and Japan will occur later in the fall with the finalists from each heading to Korea in November for a chance to win a USD$5,000 cash prize.
