ESWC 2008
The 2008 Electronic Sports World Cup took place in San Jose, California, USA, from August 25 to August 27 during the bigger NVISION 08 event, moving the tournament away from France for the first time. The disciplines announced were Counter-Strike (open and female), Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Trackmania Nations Forever, Defense of the Ancients and Quake 3. Pro Evolution Soccer was not included because the global Konami authority hasn't given its support to the competition. The prize purse was around 200,000 USD.
