International Video Game Cup 2014


Palais des Festivals et des congrès de Cannes – February 28th to March 2nd 2014
The Event

The Palais des Festivals et des congrès de Cannes is a place famous for a lot of reasons: movies, television, music, board games, but for a lot of us it’s just the place where we get to spend a few days with those friends we only get to see there. A place we’re all happy to come back to because we get to play with the best video game players on the planet under the sun of the croisette.
The WorldGameCup filled a void when it was created in 2004, year after year it created a tradition that got players from the world over to gather around the same passion.
The International Video Game Cup (IVGC) wants to continue to feed that beautiful idea, an event where the champions get to see who’s the best and their fans can enjoy the show at the venue or from the comfort of their own homes.

WATCH OUR TRAILER

International 5v5s not happening this year?

kurama_tengu

It's being discussed right now, but it looks like the 5v5 events will only be quick exhibitions this year. We're still moving stuff around on the stream schedules to find space for them really ^^.

Xinkai

Power Rangers on Mega Drive? I am so in xD

Dibs on Black or Green Ranger though!

Also Kuram, thank you as usual, can I ask why there's no BBCP or even Persona 4 Arena events going on?

kurama_tengu

For BBCP (a game only available on PS3), the answer is logical really: the WGC had a deal with Microsoft and we'd like to get one for the IVGC.

As for Persona, we will most likely have an exhibition on the second stream (The Gwak Live Show one): both Asenka & Mr. Quarate love the game, but I can't guarantee anything more...

If you want something competitive & Arcys-y, think about going to Liege this year ^^.

Xinkai

Ahhh I see, that sponsorship deal makes sense!

Cool man, thank you very much, looking forward to the trip anyway!

chopperbyrne

For anyone who wants to go, but can't figure out registration, they've done a guide.

I'm registered for AE singles currently. Took about five minutes in total.

People keep asking me "HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST?"

I have no idea what to tell them. Anyone care to post an informed guess / estimate?

chopperbyrne

Flights and accommodation should be no more than 230* combined. Then you just need entry fees and spending money.



*That's with checked luggage and travel insurance.

This is confusing, on their website it redirects you to other link.
also your name is not on the registered players list...
and also theres only about 10 people registered which is hard to believe since the registration closes in about 20 days and theres no reg at the venue.

chopperbyrne

I'm registered as "Leto II of Dune" or "Leto of Dune II" if you let Chrome auto translate.

ladnopoka

allright, but why is the number of registered so low? I remember this time last year it was over 100 pre regged

chopperbyrne

There's still plenty of time left. Don't worry about it.

ayjayirl

I just registered for the singles.

Sairus

Another reason to look forward to this. USF4 loctest: http://shoryuken.com/2014/01/29/ultra-street-fighter-iv-location-test-to-take-place-at-international-video-game-cup-2014-in-cannes-france-next-month/

And when you win a game jump up and shout yesssssssssss!

Ramza

What's the craic with the 3v3? Just need to know before registering who people are thinking is best to rep for us, I personally think there's better players than me going who would make better suited than me but what do you guys think?

Doyler01

Is there an international 3v3 or 5v5?

Last year the 3v3 was any 3 u like. Me AJ Doom were Team Doomy iirc

Doyler01

its kinda hazy

Ramza

Copy/paste from other thread

Who else is getting the 11:45 flight? If the flight is early I'll more than likely have to crash at someone's the night before, (if that's okay, hope that's not too forward) I've no way of getting to the airport that early from where I live

Just need some info on the 3v3/5v5 before I register

There's only one flight on the Wednesday, so everyone gets that one. 5v5 is on the fly usually, you don't register or anything you just rock up on the morning with a team. One person needs to reg a 3v3 team but you don't have to give names now (i think??) again, you just turn up with two other guys afaik. Someone else needs to back me up on that though!

Owwmykneecap

Haven't been able to get my payment to go through any time tonight.

Guess I'm gonna miss the lower price in the end.

Doctor DooM

You could always message kurama tengu about that on facebook. I suspect you won't be alone, we all had a rough experience on gametoo last night!

If it makes you feel any better, I had no trouble at all! ^^

I had no problem with the singles, but trying to get a team signed up was insane.
