English coverage of the KODE5 Event will be available on GotFrag ( www.gotfrag.com) as well as the official KODE5 website ( www.kode5.com).

The KODE5 Global Finals celebrates the dedication, hard work, perseverance, and spirit of all gamers who practice day-in and day-out to perfect their game. E-sports requires he same hand-eye coordination, strategy, and teamwork of traditional sports. Thus, it was only fitting to hold the KODE5 Global Finals in a place that is one of the official venues of the 2008 Olympic Games - The Beihang University Sports Center. This multi-sport facility covers almost 14,000 square meters of space, and can accommodate over 4,600 spectators. In 2006, the Beihang University Sports Center will be the venue of the KODE5 Global Finals.

"By consulting with the Revolutionary Council, we are confident that the seeding for the Global Finals will make for a fair and action-packed tournament," says KODE5 Revolutionary-in-Command Lester Lau. "We wish all gamers the best of luck at the tournament, and encourage all e-sports fanatics around the world to tune in to TSN, GotFrag, and the official KODE5 website for all the action of the KODE5 Global Finals."
