2007 World Cyber Games finale Seattle-bound

by Dan Choi { Mar 1st 2006 at 11:00PM }

We've received word that the World Cyber Games Grand Final will take place in Seattle... next year.

The 2006 competition will still wrap up in Monza, Italy (as planned), echoing the Winter Olympics' location in an Italian city--that is, Turin--this year.

Seattle edged out Cologne, Germany; Montreal, Canada; and Busan, Korea, for the honors. As home to "over fifty game development companies," the Puget Sound area will hopefully provide an excellent milieu for the competition.

[Thanks, Christian]

Sweet! Living on Capitol Hill (not D.C.) has once again proven it's advantages.
