From 15th to 19th, ShootMania Storm will be at Gamescom in Köln (Germany), the world’s largest traid fair and event high light for interactive games and entertainment.
On August 15th, ShootMania will be part of Ubisoft press conference dedicated to online and esport line up.
During this conference, 2 top teams will play a showmatch on ShootMania Storm Elite mode, which will be shoutcasted by the famous Joe Miller.
Four other teams will have a chance to join our already qualified teams for the finals on August, 17th.
So if you have not been given the opportunity to participate in our on-line qualifiers or if you were simply unlucky, you still have a chance to qualify your team for the finals by participating in the final qualifier which will be held Thursday, 16th August at the Gamescom.
This last qualifier will only include 16 teams. The best four of them win their place for the finals, which are going to be held the next day.
So, if you have the opportunity to go to Cologne and if you want to register your team for this “last chance” qualifier, here is how we will proceed:
8 teams will be selected by ESL & Nadeo according to various criteria, the results obtained during the four qualifiers. They will be contacted shortly.
8 other teams will be selected via a random drawing which will be held Friday, 10th August. Of course, if you want to give your team a chance to be selected, you must register.
Register your team for the random drawing here!
The signup will be close Friday 10th of August, at 15.00 CEST.
See you this Friday, to find out the names of the 16 teams who are going to participate in the Qualifier on August 16th at the Gamescom!
