This year, Eat My Bomb will hold the first World Series of Bomb Video Game Tournament with the ultimate champion receiving the coveted Golden Copier Award. Tournament details are still being finalized but the World Series will feature Player vs. Player in both solo and team formats in games such as Unreal Tournament, Ghost Recon, Quake III Arena, Myth II, and other games where murder is easily facilitated across TCP/IP.
Why a Golden Copier? To celebrate a long standing tradition in Ghost Recon of everyone meeting at the copy machine in The Docks map. Get there first and you’re a winner. Get there second and you’re cannon fodder.
A tournament structure including the participants will be posted soon as well as updates on the tournament’s progress. Stay tuned.
