The Copenhagen Games 2017 was an esports event hosting such tournaments as FIFA and CS:GO - in which Team Singularity won the men's event and Team Secret claimed victory in the women's - and now the Copenhagen Games website has revealed some details about this year's instalment, returning to the Danish capital.
Since the aim is to make this year's event the biggest ever, Waoo are partnering up as the main CS:GO tournament sponsor, and what's even more exciting is that there's a minimum prize pool of $100,000 USD to be won. Organisers hope that this new przie pool will secure top invites for the competition, both for fans worldwide as well as in-person at the Bella Center Copenhagen, which will have an expanded streaming setup.
CEO of Copenhagen Games Zahid Butt said: "Waoo has been a significant name in the world of esport for a while now which is why I'm so happy they decided to sign on as the main sponsor of Copenhagen Games 2018. Lightning fast, fibre optic broadband ensures optimal conditions for an event such as ours and no one does that better than Waoo."
"Esport has long been a special focus area for us and so we're very happy to support Copenhagen Games, one of the largest, most well-established events in Denmark," Waoo CEO Jørgen Stensgaard said. "Our fibre optic broadband product is already a perfect match for esports, but we're also seeing esport move into the entertainment universe with a stronger and wider appeal than ever before. Esport is evolving into a solid TV product which interests more and more of our customers and when our customers ask for a quality product, we're happy to deliver."
So it seems as if there are big plans for the Copenhagen Games 2018 already, which will run between March 28 and 31 this year, especially for the CS:GO competition. What do you want to see from this year's event?
