International Video Game Cup 2014


Palais des Festivals et des congrès de Cannes – February 28th to March 2nd 2014
The Event


The Palais des Festivals et des congrès de Cannes is a place famous for a lot of reasons: movies, television, music, board games, but for a lot of us it’s just the place where we get to spend a few days with those friends we only get to see there. A place we’re all happy to come back to because we get to play with the best video game players on the planet under the sun of the croisette.
The WorldGameCup filled a void when it was created in 2004, year after year it created a tradition that got players from the world over to gather around the same passion.
The International Video Game Cup (IVGC) wants to continue to feed that beautiful idea, an event where the champions get to see who’s the best and their fans can enjoy the show at the venue or from the comfort of their own homes.





The Official Games of the International Video Game Cup

 

This first CVGC will be split in two areas:

- The FGC Arena where old time fans will get to enjoy some of the best fighting games of this generation:

Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition v.2012 - singles & 3v3
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - singles & 3v3
The King Of Fighters XIII - singles & 2v2
SoulCalibur V - singles & 3v3

Each game will have a dedicated steward to help “top players” to come, in coordination with our sponsors and partners.
The final phases of each tourney will be live streamed!



- And the Sports Arena that will show that MT Events knows how to spoil football lovers:

FIFA 14 – Single & 2v2

General Rules & Regulations

After many heated discussions, we finally decided to follow the general opinion trend (and the public opinion through the poll you might have seen).

We hesitated a lot with an "updated" version of the EVO rules, but stayed faithful to our French Tradition in the end!

The rules below only apply to the console tournaments (WORLD TEAM CUP tournaments excluded as we already stated in the corresponding sections). The rules & regulations of the arcade tournaments will be announced later this week.

SOLO CONSOLE TOURNAMENTS FORMAT:

For the solo tourneys, the qualifier phase will be played in POOLS, just like last year. It will be pools of 4 or 8 players, according to the size of the tournament:

- Tournament of 32 players: 8 pools of 4 players - 2/3 matches per set - 2 qualifiers per pool.
- Tournament of 64 players: 8 pools of 8 players - 1 match per set - 4 qualifiers per pool.
- Tournament of 128 players: 16 pools of 8 players - 1 match per set - 2 qualifiers per pool.
- Tournament of 256 players: 32 pools of 8 players - 1 match per set - 2 qualifiers per pool.

For each tournament, the exact number of pools & players will be announced at the end of January, when the final number of registered players will be known.

All the qualifier phases of the solo tournaments will be played with double elimination rules:

- 2/3 matches per set until the finals (played in 3/5 sets)


CONSOLE TOURNAMENTS FORMAT FOR THE MASTER SERIES:

- Tournament of MAXIMUM 128 players - Single elimination with sets of 2/3 matches - Finals played in 3/5 sets.
General Rules for the team tournaments of the Main Event:

Team tournaments are played with the "Team Battle Relay" rules:

- 3 players per team
- Before each bout, the two captains play a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors:

ADDENDUM:

As all registrations will now be made Online, the tournaments will begin earlier in the morning (don't be late!).
As a result, the pools will be drawn in early February (with seeded players).
This draw will affect all the console tournaments : Solo, Team, Master Series and World Team Cup events.

The draw of The World Game Cup tournaments will be filmed & available as an Online Stream on the Website.

Consequently, players will be able to check their pools and competitors (& their characters) before the tournaments!

------

Be advised that for all these tournaments, you must come with your own accessories (adapters included). The organization simply won't be able to lend pads, adapters and/or sticks.
The WGC is a BYOC event! (bring your own controller, be it a pad or a stick)
You will of course be allowed to borrow accessories from other players, but it mustn't be a bother or holdup the competition (as you might get disqualified if that's the case).

All game controllers allowing macros/cheats are strictly forbidden, as are the activation of turbo/automatic modes on any allowed controller.

NEW THIS YEAR

1/The Casual Play Area will be built around 8 to 16 screens. It will be co-run by the SWGA and Games Culture Associations. There, you'll be able to play all the games in competition in the Console Tournaments & some of the games played in the Arcade Tournaments (if a XBOX 360 version exists at the time of the event, like KOF2002 UM, for instance). But you will also find a few neat surprises in the consoles hard drives like MOTW or SSF2 HD REMIX (and more...).
Casual tournaments will be organized throughout the day. These Casual (free) tournaments will spice up your days.

Please don't hesitate to come & visit the Casual Area!

We'd like to thank the SWGA and Games Culture Associations for their support on this year's edition.

2/ Watch the Steam: basgrospoing.fr, the famous fighting games news website will be our partner for the WGC2011. Thanks to them, you'll have access to a continuous flow of fresh news (results, reports, etc.).
What's more, the BGP Team will hug the mike on the stream, spilling a moist flow of fresh editorial nuggets and atmospheric comments, LIVE from the WGC grounds.
And don't forget, the Stream will run non-stop during the three days of competition thanks to the fine people of the GNOUZ CORP!

Meet & Greet / Hi Guys!!!
« on: November 04, 2010, 04:36:31 PM »
I'm Aurélien AKA kurama_tengu, the World Game Cup 2011 Web promotion guy.
I'm 34, French (but living between Paris & Liège in Belgium) and a huge Pop Culture Geek.

As you may know, the WGC is the largest fighting game tournament in Europe & I hope some of you might be interested to come/watch the live stream. Especially this year since we have a KOF XIII Arcade tournament (with versus cabinets) .

I hope I'll be able to answer any question you might have about the event.

See You in Cannes!
