WCG 2012 without LoL & SC2?

World Cyber Games 2012

It was a bit weird for the whole eSports community: the World Cyber Games grand final in 2012. Everybody thought it would be the same procedure as every year, but the WCG shocked the whole eSports scene with their plans of changing to a mobile gaming event.

A few weeks later, different eSport pages got the information that WCG will approximately will stay as a 'real eSport gaming event'. From today on we can be sure: WCG will stay as a tournament with PC competition, since WCG announced the official games for the 2012 grand final, which will take place in China - that's what the official announcement says.

WCG 2012 titles:

• Crossfire (FPS)
• FIFA 12 (Sports)
• Counter-Strike online (FPS promotional title)
• World of Tanks (multiplayer promotional title) 
  

“We are excited to unveil the game titles for the WCG 2012 Grand Final, which are the world’s most popular titles across every genre in competitive gaming today.” said Brad Lee, CEO of World Cyber Games, Inc. “And we look forward to another exciting year of competition to crown the best players in the world.”

As you can see, the currently two biggest eSport games, League of Legends and StarCraft II are not listed. As Team Acer got to know, the WCG organization is currently talking with the publishers about a LoL and SC2 tournament in China. Further information will follow soon.

The second rumour going around is that there will maybe be a SEC, but it isn't confirmed yet.

Make sure to stay tuned for more information!
