March
7, 2005 – ABIT, along with Intel, ATI, LG, and Corsair,
are pleased to announce the launch of the ACON5 Global Gaming Event.
Held in over 20 countries and territories, ACON5 invites avid gamers from 150
cities across the globe to one of the world's largest, most exciting
gaming tournaments.
"With thousands of gamers taking part last year, ACON4 was a major
success," notes ABIT Gaming Brand Manager Lester Lau. "This
year with more locations, bigger prizes, and the addition of a new game, ACON5
promises to be the best one yet."
Throughout 20 different countries and territories worldwide, avid gamers will
participate in the ACON5 Qualifiers. During each qualifying event, the winners
win the right to represent their region at the ACON5 Finals. From there, the
winners will be flown, all expenses paid, to the ACON5 Global Finals located
in a yet undisclosed exotic location. Last year, Warcraft III: Frozen
Throne was chosen to be the official game. For ACON5, organizers have
added Counter-Strike, the world's number one online game.
