Ultimate Gaming Tour announced
Yesterday was a big day for us - not only was it the fresh beginning of an exciting year to come for SteelSeries but we were also able to finally burst the bubble and reveal our UGT project to the public.
UGT stands for Ultimate Gaming Tour and is a Counter-Strike 1.6 1vs1 tournament with 14 qualifiers across different Media Markt retail outlets in Sweden, boasting a 1st place cash prize of nothing less than 100.000 SEK (9.000+ Euro).
A massive line-up of professional players have already endorsed the tournament on the splash site including players from SK Gaming, fnatic and MYM as well as retired CS 1.6 legend, Michael “ahl” Korduner.
We do expect to see UGT attendance from quite a few top players and we will cover those in the weekly profiles section, however since the tournament is open to everyone above 16 years of age, regardless of nationality, there is no possible way to tell who will take home the gold.
Check more info in the press release here, where you will also find some info on the brand new version of aim_map which will be the default map for all UGT matches - and make sure to check the official Ultimate Gaming Tour website.
