Ultimate Gaming Tour is a 1vs1 competitive shootout tournament which focuses mainly on the individual skills of a player. This concept is far from new, but the prize money involved plus the fact that the tournament is open for anyone above 16 years of age is key to its evolution. The qualifiers will be spread out across Sweden making it readily available for almost all to compete without having to travel large distances - and spending loads of cash.

Today almost all electronic sports events are focused around team games, most stature given to winning the 5vs5 tournaments.The UGT aims at finding the best aimer out there, regardless of team level and previous merits and award him/her 100,000 SEK.

The players can be qualified in two ways for the tournament, sign-up on www.ugt.se or via wildcard. There is a very limited amount of spots for each stop. It will be a single elimination structure in the tournament. The Bracket is decided by random draw. So it's possible that you won´t be facing the tops players until the end. There is two people qualify from each stop on the tour. But the qualifiers Bäckebol, Nacka, Barkaby and Heron City top 3 will qualify for the Grand Final. This makes a total of 32 people that will qualify to the finals in Stockholm Heron City the 21st march.

UGT was created by Media Markt and SteelSeries, with the idea of bringing in various Media Markt partners in order to raise the stakes to give the chance at winning a huge prize purse - a first in Nordic 1vs1 Counter-Strike history.
