India Gaming Carnival with $40,000
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-02-13 17:41
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

India Gaming Carnival has announced a $40,000 tournament at their event, which will take place April 6-8 just outside the country capital New Delhi.

At first the India Gaming Carnival had announced that Counter-Strike: Source would be the game of choice for their 2012 event, but after having received feedback from the Indian community, the organizers determined through a public vote that Counter-Strike 1.6 was far more popular, and therefore opted to make the switch.

The tournament is set to feature a $40,000 prize purse, out of $300,000 for the entire event, which will feature games such as DoTA, COD4, NFS, SF4 , SC2, as well as poker and snooker tournaments. 

Very little information has been released by the organizers WTF eventz, only available information is the location of the event, which will be the Ayatti-Caparo International Center in the Noida area outside of New Delhi.

The event has two partners listed, the Yuvraj Singh Foundation and Zomato, a ticketing and booking service. A spokesman from the event has announced in our forums, that an announcement is to be made on February 15, which will be aimed at the international audience.

Unfortunately the event will collide with the Danish event Copenhagen Games, the Danish event runs April 4-8 in the same venue as the previous two years.

nice prize
2012-02-13 17:41:55
AMAZING!!!

I think its very good for the indian teams that CPH Games is on the same day, because if ALL the big teams in 1.6 went to India, it would be very hard for indian teams to win some money in this event. But now I think they have more chance. Not saying they are bad, but they wouldn't beat top10 world teams... I think this is FANTASTIC for the indian teams, and maybe some international teams.

1.6 is AWESOME!
2012-02-13 17:54:08
this is just awesome !!!!
2012-02-13 17:56:08
yeah!
2012 is going to be an amazing year for 1.6!
2012-02-13 17:58:54
True! Big events too look forward to!
2012-02-13 19:08:57
FUCK YEAH
2012-02-13 19:10:23

hahaha
2012-02-13 21:54:30
i assume india has teams that dominate locally (ATE perhaps). personally i'd rather lose to fnatic/sk/etc. for the experience than lose to a team i can lose to online or at other smaller lans any day of the week
2012-02-14 01:45:53
I hope they'll give the prize money ....
2012-02-13 17:58:20
Ofcourse, organisation looks promising. And i'm glad its taking place in India. :))
2012-02-13 18:02:21
sad that best teams will be on xperia :(
2012-02-13 19:09:37
The price money will Attract them you just see. :P
2012-02-13 19:11:00
I don't think so : ) They prefer to participate in tournment which they already know and are sure of it's succes :) If india gaming carnival will be moved to another date, surely many teams will attend
2012-02-13 19:13:56
We'll see. There's a big possibility they can.
2012-02-13 19:16:52
and I guess xperia has similar prize money : )
2012-02-13 19:25:47
10k euro for winner i guess.

2012-02-14 04:32:30
china has been in esports a lot longer and see where they are... if anything... they should be more talented so don't have your hopes too high... the internet conditions are still bad in india so they cannot practice against top teams all the time... this tournament will be good to get more people interested... but it won't do anything to raise the level of gameplay... for that you need regular attendance in top tournaments... which you know is impossible...

but this year worse than 2010 for CS1.6,because Albalet Cup has stopped.

Arbalet stopped sponsoring his cups line in 2010.
2012-02-13 17:48:07
i've fixed my replyi,i want to say 2010 is best year for CS1.6 in my opinion
2012-02-13 17:51:49
Maybe. That's pretty sad he stopped his activity. He did more than three tournaments per year, and what now? We all know - after his retirement there was/is a little crysis in the cs scene. And because many orgas don't pay the prisecash, many pro players are retired now. Sad story.

And you know what will be even worse? If all the top teams will attend this event, they will pay the checkin+the avia issues+hotel etc. and the orga will not pay the prise. God, that will be pure inhumanity.

(!) It will be a great idea to do something like a flashmob to get arbalet back, atleast for one tournament/year, cause we really need him now. We the cs community MUST get him back. We have to show that our game can still be alive. Nothing will happen if we will sit in our chairs and say "hey cs is dying", NO, this is wrong. Who then will keep it alive?

Agree,at least we need one tournament per year,it can named "Albalet Cup World Grand Final",who should invit the most of top teams in the world. :P
2012-02-13 18:09:29
why?
2012-02-13 17:56:47
why?
2012-02-13 17:57:04
ESWC 2006 CS 1.6 TOTAL PRICE : 160.000$
WCG 2008 CS 1.6 TOTAL PRICE : 102.500$

ESWC 2011 CS 1.6 TOTAL PRICE : 33.000$
WCG 2011 CS 1.6 TOTAL PRICE : 33.000$

- EPS France dropped CS
- EG release their cs team
- mandic shutdown their cs team
- EPS Germany %50 price cut

CS:S died, CS 1.6 will die and will reborn with CS2.
2012-02-13 21:04:54
I think the same :D
2012-02-13 21:26:06
This has 300000$ . When one door closes, another opens. U just have to support us now so things can come up:)
2012-02-14 06:53:56
what're you talking about?
2012-02-14 15:10:29
saying 1.6 still has scope. and hope u realise any new game(CS .. ) will have graphics from sourceENgine2 or something like that. u wont get same graphics.

Hey, the orgas.

Don't ruin it, please. We have a little number of tournaments. We all know that there is some months till the tournament, and you can still change the dates. That will be a great act of tolerance.

Hope this isnt ... coz we've already spent a significant amount of money on booking the venue, getting the permissions from various govt dept. Putting out a full page Ad in leading news papers and been running around like headless chickens since the last 2 months to get everything organized

all best teams will come to India so CPH games might not that be successful.
2012-02-13 18:02:35
Lets see about that..
2012-02-13 18:14:20
The costs of travelling to India are way higher, and the prize money is not assured, while CPH Games is cheaper and the prizes weree payed last year, so it has better reputation.

2012-02-14 06:56:37
That was not on this newspost, so i didnt know it.

Still, until i dont see money has been paid out i wont be totally secure.

It's worth the prize. ;)
2012-02-13 18:12:28

2012-02-13 21:02:58
really?TyLoo probably will attend it.
2012-02-13 18:19:40
would be great to see teams such as tyloo and umx, easy money for them if they do come over here imo. :D
2012-02-13 18:28:31
if NaVi comes to attend,it's very hard for TyLoo to win more prize :P
2012-02-13 18:43:54
if na'vi confirms they're coming then every other team will chicken out XD
2012-02-13 19:12:47
I doubt european teams would take a risk this big to travel this far to an event that is being organized for the first time on such a scale.Lets hope they pay out :)

2012-02-13 18:53:38
Can't believe it. It's awesome - good money, good games. Although I'd prefer tekken6:br/TTT2/SC5 over SF4, but it's subjective. Hope many indian teams will attend and prove their skill.
2012-02-13 18:54:15

I'd love to see shgOpen again too, it was HUGE

It's quite impressive to see a new tournament with such high prizes, in India, a country that never had a major tournament or something... its great

Zomato is not actually a chain of restaurants ... but they facilitate ticketing and booking for various things including parties, events and restaurants. They are the ticketing partner here as well

2012-02-13 19:49:31
yeah i was about to say that!! ;)
2012-02-14 13:11:36
Unfortunately the event will collide with the Danish event Copenhagen Games, the Danish event runs April 4-8 in the same venue as the previous two years.

Its not unfortunately, yes maybe for the topteams. but not for the indian scene.
2012-02-13 19:54:09
This really is awesome. For the first time our country will be organizing an international gaming event. We will be in the spotlight and we cannot afford to make note-worthy mistakes and I can guarantee we wont :)

So...me not representing the organizers but as an Indian - take this opportunity to invite everyone to this event :) From hltv.org users to the teams, plz do come to India and I'm sure we will make it worth your while and time.

Very nice. Hope to see all top teams.
2012-02-13 20:15:12
If big teams like SK, Navi, Fnatic, Esc come then the game arena will be full without a doubt i believe even 1000s of spectators gonna wait outside the arena just to see big players. It will be fun so i think big teams must participate and hopefully they ll postpone the date, may be april 15-20 or something like that :D
2012-02-13 20:17:08
40000$ ok alright... :DD

It would be awesome if the organizers live up to the expectations..it would be very shameful if big teams come and the organizers don't give the promised prize in cash and it is most likely to happen :(

Something called ''supporting''.

Sad people like you will never help esport in india grow with the potential we have. :(
2012-02-14 09:56:34
He simply laid out a possibility. Flop events are nothing new to India. Forgotten ESWC, have you?
2012-02-14 11:04:05
i think u shud look @ the sponsors.. they seem promising!!!
2012-02-14 13:09:20
The Metallica show had sponsors too. Facepalm?

Max is a friend and I know he's aware of where things can go wrong. Sponsors alone mean nothing. Events are people driven.
2012-02-14 13:47:17
i was talking about prize money dude.. peace!
2012-02-14 18:17:11
Yes and the show in Bangalore rocked :P

Reminds me of estars/gamegune in the past and SEC/fnatic MSI beat it in 2010. Come on,it will be 2 tournaments with 2-3 top teams both so no chance to determine the REAL top1 at the world,fail.
2012-02-13 22:33:39

I wonder what stench the area would smell. I know for sure that I'd need a gasmask inorder to attend an event in India.

Last time I was there (talking from own exp), uschhhh the food even tastes like farts omg
2012-02-14 14:24:37
and your fart smells like mangoes?
2012-02-14 14:38:48
it doesnt smell like mangoes, last time I was there. You've no clue bra, you've no clue.

If you'd be from europe where the sents are neutral you'd be amazed how much India actually smells
