Games are global, sure, and so is the gaming video content we produce at 100XP on the irregular. That’s how we want it, because otherwise we wouldn’t have half as much interest in the videos we produce. It is nice, however, when something happens locally that we can stick our noses in and this month we’ve been granted a whole two points of interest.
Odeon Cinemas have decided to help legitimize e-sports (or did that happen yet?). Odeon will be capitalizing on their popularity by hosting live screenings of the ESL One Cologne Counter-Strike World Championship. That includes the Southampton at the Leisure World, so if you wanted to watch the world’s best Counter-Strike players in the presence of a bunch of screaming young men like some kind of normal sport you can do. It’s on this Sunday and tickets can be purchased for £12.50 here.
The blurb reads as follows:
Join the roaring crowd and experience ‘ESL One Cologne: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’ like never before as the best teams in the world go head to head in front of thousands of fans. ‘ESL One: Counter-Strike Finals Live’ in cinemas will be hosted by YouTube sensation Soe Gschwind-Penksi (SOEMBIE) who will take guests into the inter-most workings of the tournament. Soe will be your host and guide through finals broadcast making the experience so much more entertaining and exciting than watching it at home.
Soe will bring you into the Pro-Players warm up area, host and commentator rooms and take you backstage at LANXESS Arena at the players prepare for their match. She will introduce the final teams, provide live interviews to garner added insight on team strategy, and the mindset of the two competitors which will lead straight into the final game.
Don’t miss out on this chance to see two of the best teams in the world fight for the prestigious title of ESL One Champion. Cheer on your favorite team and join them in their path to victory.
