The Antwerp eSports Festival, 2010 edition, is now officially over. With thousands of people following the tournaments online, and hundreds actually travelling down to Antwerp, the event was a great success. Not only were we able to reach a wide variety gaming audience, the mainstream was also informed about the event through the interviews which were published in all national papers, several magazines and the interviews we had on the national news and some radio stations.

With players and teams ecstatic about the way the event went down we can only look towards the future and our 2011 event and make sure that once again the event will go down as the most competitive tournament of the Benelux.

Welcome to the Antwerp eSports Festival, the most competitive tournament on Benelux soil.

Set to take place from the 30th of July 2010 until the 1st of August 2010, the Antwerp eSports Festival promises to be one of the most competitive events the Benelux has ever seen. With competitions taking place in Counter-Strike Source, Call of Duty 4 and Enemy Territory, the best of the best in the gaming industry are expected to travel down to Antwerp to compete. With a maximum combined prize purse of €27,500 it also promises to be one of the largest prize purses ever handed out in the Benelux.

We are launching the website to give all the teams and players the information they need to arrange their travel and accomodation to attend the event.

About the competitions and the prize purses

Right now we are calculating our entire event with a minimum of slots for all competitions. This means that once the payments will open up only 16 slots per game will be made available! This means that the first 16 Call of Duty 4, Enemy Territory or Counter-Strike Source teams to pay their entry fee are guaranteed a slot in the tournament.

We will then look at how fast each tournament fills up and depending on this more slots will be gradually opened up for each tournament, starting with the tournament that filled up the quickest (obviously!).

Because we are currently working with a limited amount of tournament PC's (we are trying to get as many as possible) and space available this could mean that if your community is not fast enough it could be stuck with "only" 16 slots where other tournaments could be bumped up to 48 slots!

As and when the slots are increased, the prize money for that tournament will increase according to the triggers listed on the competition page of each tournament
 - so it is in the best interest of the entire community to make sure those slots fill quickly. By doing it this way we are guaranteeing that the limited amount of tournament PC's and space available have the best possible use and that the communities who are more receptive of the event are rewarded with more slots and bigger prize purses!
