Challenge Online Games, Inc.
(Challenge Games®), developer of the massively multi-player online fantasy game
Duels®, announces today the 2009 World Duels Championship (WDC). Beginning May
12, 2009 at 12:00pm CDT/8pm GMT fans the world over will begin competing in a
week-long tournament ladder, with the festivities culminating on May 24, 2009
when one Duelist will be crowned World Duels Champion and receive his or her
share of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.
The Championship is open to all
Duels players. The event begins as a ladder due to the large number of
participants. At the end of the ladder, the 256 players who have the highest
ladder rating will be placed in the WDC Semi-Final Tournament. These top 256
duelists will then compete for the two exclusive spots in the WDC finals where,
on May 24 one will emerge victorious as the 2009 World Duels Champion. Prizes
will be awarded to players placing 1st through 128th so there are opportunities
for lots of players to take home some loot. The Championship will also have
plenty going on for the casual player and online spectators – the WDC Gift Shop
has special in-game items only available during the WDC, as well as quests for
the adventurous sort.
“To participate in the World Duels
Championships, Duels players can compete from anywhere in the world, and they
have the opportunity to win their share of thousands of dollars in cash and
prizes,” says Christian Primozich, Executive Producer of Duels. “The WDC has
become one of the most anticipated Duels in-game events and we think new and
veteran players will be thrilled with the surprises we have in store this year.”
With half a million players
worldwide, Duels is an online strategic fantasy RPG where players build powerful
characters based on physical attributes, battle experience, special abilities
and collectible items, and may upgrade their characters using in-game currency.
Unlike many online RPGs which require hours of grinding play to achieve player
power and status, Duels is designed to provide compelling in-depth PVP,
head-to-head game play in 10 to 30 minute increments, attracting both hardcore
and casual gamers for quick-fix gaming.
