ImageESWC have announced that 2010's event prize purse is backed by a bank guarantee and a law firm will apparently confirm this fact upon request.



The main concern about the 2010's returning ESWC event may be less of a worry for teams now that the organization behind the event, Games-Solution, has announced that the prize money for the event is now backed by a bank guarantee.

As the post explains:

"Since in the past years, several organisation managing video games events collapsed, esports community and partners seems worried to see a new company handling the ESWC brand. In order to provide to anybody a maximum of insurance about that 2010 cash prizes will be paid by Games-Solution, the new ESWC organisation, a bank guarantee has been set.

Total amount of the $213,500 prizes has been secured under a bank guaranty this week. This money is set to be exclusively delivered to the ESWC 2010 champions and nobody else. This permit to be sure about the prizes for the event but also permit to announce that ESWC 2010 cash prizes will be paid immediately after the event."


Interested parties can even contact a law firm to confirm this fact:

"The international lawyer firm Fidal group will be able to deliver an official certification of the bank guaranty to any body interested to inquiry about it.
Anyone that want contact the lawyer firm entitled to deliver this certificate can email the following lawyers in charge to deliver the ESWC 2010 bank guaranty certificate:

* Yanling Hu - yanling.hu@fidal.fr
* Elizaveta Vasina - elizaveta.vasina@fidal.fr
* Dominique Andrieux - dominique.andrieux@fidal.fr"


ESWC rose from the new event on the block in 2003 with a unique way of hosting their tournaments to the most important major in the Esports world before its untimely demise in 2009. The key moment which seemed to burn many was the organization's failure to pay out prize money from its 2008 main event, leaving teams like MYM without the rewards for their toil.
