RELEASE —————————————————————— COPENHAGEN,
DENMARK – 19 March 2001: NETWORKLEAGUE.COM – THE FUTURE OF ONLINE GAMING Networkleague
takes pride in introducing a unique online gaming system enabling online
gamers to play their favourite computer game facing opponents matching their
own skills and giving them the opportunity to cash in if they’re good. It’s
the shortest way to entertainment for those looking for an occasional break or
serious competition for the pros. Once
a gamer have played the first couple of games, the NWL-system will be able to
rate the gamer, and from then on he or she will be able to battle players on
their own level. Networkleague
will also be comparing the player’s technical differences, making it even
and more entertaining for everyone. Besides that, Networkleague offers
complete game statistics of player skills and game history. Networkleague
is free to join and play, and with the first ever ‘one-click-play’ button
it will be to-the-point and easy configurable. No technical skills required. As
an appetizer Networkleague arranges the first worldwide, open and free online
Quake-tournament ever, with prizes of more than 20.000 US$, including a grand
finale in London the 2nd of June. The final will be between the winners of
four regional tournaments: US, French, UK and German battle. This tournament
will be the dawning of pro-league computer gaming, and leagues with higher
cash prizes in 6-10 other popular computer games will follow. Networkleague.com
pre-premieres the 19th of March, making it possible to download the special
made Networkleague-map for Quake – called the "Colosseum" –
together with a short video-teaser. Mid April the site will be fully
functional for gaming and signing for the tournament. For
