IRVINE, Calif. - August 28, 2009
Joymax, an independent developer and publisher of interactive entertainment for the global market, today announced that the North American qualifying round for the 2009 Game & Game World Championship (GNGWC) will run from August 30-31 in Silkroad Online. Skilled players who survive both days of PvP combat will be flown to Los Angeles to compete in the Regional Finals on September 12. Victory there means nothing less than a trip to the Grand Finals in Busan and a shot at $5,000!
“GNGWC is wonderful because it gives us the opportunity to interact directly with Silkroad players from around the globe,” said Jina Song, General Manager at Joymax. “The competition has been fierce so far, and it should only get more exciting as we get closer to the worldwide finals in Busan.”
