Following last year's news of Sky showing last year's Championship Gaming Series in high-def, dates for the UK and European qualifiers for the 2008 Series have been announced.
UK and European qualification events will take place on May 16-18 at Omega Sektor, Europe's premier game center, in Birmingham.
The Qualifier events will include tournaments in each of the league's official games, Counter-Strike:Source, FIFA 08, Forza Motorsport 2, and Dead or Alive 4. The top eight UK finishers and the top eight European finishers in each game will receive prize payouts totaling more than €35,000.
After the competitions end on 18th May, at the UK Draft and the European Draft, the General Managers will face off and choose the remaining players to fill their ten-player team rosters. On June 26-29, these new CGS UK and European teams will fly to Los Angeles for an all-expenses-paid trip where they will compete separately on television at CGS Studios in the 2008 UK Final and the 2008 European Final.
Various events will be broadcast on Sky One, Sky Two, and Sky HD.
