Apart from the European Final announced yesterday, a few more events are being held soon in the USA and the United Arab Emirates. A total of $210,000 is being rewarded there with $50,000 for the Counter-Strike 1.6 Dubai event itself.

The next event to come is the Global Challenge in Los Angeles with $80,000 for World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike. Being held at the E for All, 16 teams for both games compete from 3rd to 5th October 2008. After the last Global Challenge in Los Angeles about a year ago, you can expect to see some great matches again this time. Participants for this event will be announced today.

Shortly after the Global Challenge in Montreal is taking place from 17th to 19th October 2008 at the Sport Compact Performance in Canada. Another $80,000 are being given out here for Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft and you can still apply. Canada's most prestigious car show is usually held at this fantastic venue.

Another event is still open to apply being the first event in the United Arab Emirates in Dubai. A local qualifier will be held from 19th to 21st October and the main event starts right after it from 22nd to 24th October. If you want to apply, you can check the tournament page and sign up for the $50,000 Counter-Strike tournament.

Also more information about upcoming US and Asian events are being released in the coming weeks. All the different teams will meet up at the Global Final in Hannover in 2009 with teams from all over the world.
