Scheduled: 11:00 CDT, 25 August 2008 to 21:00 CDT, 27 August 2008
Schedule: Passed

The eswc ESWC Grand Finals will be held on the 25th till 27th of August 2008 at NVISION 2008 in San Jose, California. The event will also feature a BYOC LAN Party and the iGames Expo.

Unfortunately this clashes with both the ENC Finals and NGL ONE which are normally held at the Games Convention in Leipzig. The Games Convention finishes on the 24th August which leaves just 24 hours for CounterStrike teams and WC3 players to hop over to the US, if they have qualified for both events. Which doesn't really concern ESReality, the Quake3 players will be nicely refreshed and relaxed!
