Press Release
Thursday July 3rd, 2008
On the 23rd of June, 2008, Electronic Arts and DICE celebrated Battlefield 2's third birthday. With it came news of a patch currently in development, in recognition to the millions of gamers who still continue to play the game to this very day.
This alone proves that Battlefield 2 is far from dead. The game itself is played competitively in Australia, New Zealand, and the world, in many different leagues making it one of the most popular FPS multiplayer games ever created.
On the 13th of March, 2008, netGameRadio, an Australian based online gaming radio station, announced it's intention of creating a Battlefield 2 $8000 online tournament for Australia and New Zealand gamers. In the true Battlefield 2 format, a 16 vs 16 format was implemented, with the inclusion of the popular expansion pack, Special Forces.
The tournament would soon be known as The Battlefield 2 Masters.
This would be the first time in 3 years Battlefield 2 would see an online tournament with the largest Battlefield prize pool in Australia, and New Zealand history, since the games initial launch. And with it's announcement came the most anticipated competition Battlefield 2 has ever seen.
With many requests coming from international mediums requesting the tournament to be made world wide, and if not, asking if netGameRadio could create a similar tournament for Europe, it was evident that The Battlefield 2 Masters had reached gamers far and beyond it's intended audience.
netGameRadio will be handling all aspects of the competition, including the coverage of the event via a commentary method known as 'shout-casting'. Fans will be able to get a taste of Australia and New Zealands competitive best, simply by tuning in via the website.
It isn't only netGameRadio who can see the value of creating such a tournament either. Prize sponsors ranging from GeCube Video Cards, through to G-Skill RAM, all saw the enormous benefit in supporting such a tournament.
Managing Director of NetGameMedia, netGameRadio's parent company, Russell Norman, a.k.a RDNx, commented "We are very excited to bring this competition to the Australian and New Zealand Battlefield communities and to continue to support the Battlefield franchise now and in moving forward to future incarnations. The BF2 Masters, supported by netGameRadio, adequately represents our strong belief and support for online gaming".
Business and Marketing Manager for netGameRadio, Johnny Griffiths, a.k.a johnny_sisko, stated "This is a momentous occasion at netGameRadio as we bring an exclusive online event, with the largest prize pool since Battlefield 2 launched. This solidifies netGameRadio as not only the leader in online competitive entertainment, but as a mainstream commentary media for online events".
