TOURNAMENT.COM RAISES THE STAKES WITH NEW MULTI-LEVEL TOURNAMENTS AND TRUE
DEATHMATCH GAMES
New Deathmatch Mode Rewards Individual Skill as Multi-Level Tournaments
Turn Up the Competitive Heat
Tournament.com, a pioneer in licensed online PC gaming competition that
allows gamers from around the world to win money facing off against one another
in their favorite games over the Internet, today announced the addition of two
highly sought after features: Multi-level tournaments, and a true Deathmatch
mode for Counter-Strike: Source.
Multi-level tournaments up the ante for competitive Counter-Strike: Source
players by allowing up to 20 players to compete in a multi-round tournament,
featuring quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals matches to determine winners.
Gamers skilled enough to make the finals will have a chance at more lucrative
cash rewards. Even more exciting is the possibility of full-fledged tournaments
with up to 80 players vying for cash prizes.
The new Deathmatch mode takes teams out of the equation for the first time on
Tournament.com, allowing players to test their true skills in an all-out melee.
The addition of this mode answers the hopes of many gamers who enjoy
free-for-all shooters over team play.
"These new features show that we’re listening closely to what our users
really want – and
we’re delivering," said Marcus Pearcey, cofounder of Tournament.com. "With
multi-tiered tournaments and true Deathmatches, Tournament.com offers even more
thrills and rewards for gamers willing to put their money where their mouths
are."
Tournament.com offers players the chance to win money based on their skill in
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Counter-Strike: Source, and soon Day of Defeat: Source.
To ensure the most secure environment possible, Tournament.com allows users to
stake no more than $10 per match and deposit a maximum of $150 in their account
each month. The service also provides a ranking system that allows players to
view other users’ skill levels, and a handicap system to allow players of all
levels to play against one another. To use the service, all players must be 18
or older, which Tournament.com enforces with special age verification software
that is presented to all players upon installation of the client.
