On the weekend of July 28 and 29th, GPG will be holding the first of four scheduled prize Supreme Commander tournaments. The initial tournament is the UEF Cup, and it will have a total prize fund of $5,000. In addition to playing for prize money, players will also have a chance to receive a coveted tournament badge. And best of all, all skill levels are welcome--you don't have to be a top player in order to have a shot at winning.

There will be four tournaments as part of the "Supreme Commander Faction Tournament Cycle", with the tournaments running at roughly three month intervals. The first tournament will feature the three current factions in Supreme Commander--UEF, Aeon and Cybran--and later tournaments will include a fourth faction, the Seraphim. The Seraphim will be introduced in the forthcoming Supreme Commander standalone expansion, Forged Alliance, which is slated for release later in 2007.

"Gas Powered Games has made a strong and long-term commitment to Supreme Commander's online multiplayer audience", said Kent McNall, Producer of GPGnet. "Tournaments have been very popular with our players, and participation in them has grown steadily with players across all experience and skill levels. With four great tournaments and a significant prize fund, we continue that commitment to our Supreme Commander community."

All four tournaments will be played on GPG's exclusive GPGnet online gaming service, and players who have Supreme Commander can register for the tournament directly through GPGnet. (Players may only enter in one division.)
