One of the hottest Call of Duty 4 LANs in Scandinavia, the Level7 Open Cup '08, is getting closer and several hours ago the admins announced the groups on their website. At first there was room for 16 teams to participate but due to the high demand, the limit was raised to 18 adding one extra team to the first two groups. Despite the fact that the prize purse is rather small (around €1,000 in cash), 22 teams and a few Swedish teams, namely RDY4? and Ministery of Defense signed up to the event but never made the payment so this time it will be an all-Finnish LAN.

The event is scheduled to start at 9:00 CET on March 8 with group stages with the last group stage match being scheduled to start at 00.30 CET on the following day. After that there will be a double elimination playoff with two best teams from each group battling for the first spot in the grand final, which starts at 10:45 CET. Read our coverage here.
