Just a wee reminder about theSGL's Summer Slam lan taking place this coming weekend the 6th, 7th & 8th of June 2008. It takes place at the Omega Sektor lan centre in Birmingham where it will be open all night for real hardcore gamers. The event will be the ESWC UK National finals for Counter-Strike 1.6, Warcraft III : TFT, Quake III and Trackmania Nations Forever - also theSGL events for Counter-Strike 1.6, Counter-Strike Source and Call of Duty 4. Other events such as Rock Band and GTA4 challenges along with extra fun cups and events. Price is £25 per player, for which you receive the exclusive use of a PC at the event for each whole day that you are there.

SGL:

We do ask that any players wishing to "pay on the door" send us an email to mail@theSGL.com including their UID and the team they will be playing for stating clearly that they are coming and wish to pay on arrival. We know how many players we have signed up and paid - all we wish to do is ensure that there are seats available for players who do not wish to pre pay and as such we do really need for you to let us know you are actually coming!

The ESWC events will not begin until noon on the first day so you have no need to arrive at the venue at 9am if you do not wish to do so. With the advantage of having one PC for each player we will be able to run through the events very quickly indeed and there will be no mad rush to get teams on servers before they are ready. Teams and players should ensure they are available and ready to play no later than noon however as if you are not there when the events begin you will be defaulted against.

Good luck all who are attending and have fun!

They feel the necessary change was needed to gain recognition as one of europes top teams again.

Virtus.pro is:

Alexey "LeX" Kolesnikov
Roman "ROMJkE" Makarov
Ioan "Edward" Sukhariev
Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko
Mykhailo "kane" Blagin
