It was announced today that the ESWC Grand Final will take place in San Jose, California, on August 25-27. This puts the event only one day after Games Convention in Leipzig.

One of the biggest esports events of the year will be staged as a part of NVISION 2008, a show dedicated to virtual graphics. The reason for the awkward timing is that the dates of both fairs are not flexible.

Games Convention takes place from August 20 to 24 and will be home to the ESL European Nations Cup and NGL One finals. Furthermore, many players and teams will be engaged in various promotions, while some will want to attend the eSports Awards.

The Electronic Sports World Cup is unlucky with regard to schedules. In 2005, CPL Summer was scheduled over the ESWC finals in Paris.

SK Gaming has found out that esports teams will be lobbying for the schedules of the competitions at Games Convention and the ESWC to accommodate the players that want to attend both events.
