Australian Cyber League releases initial details for their 2014 ACL Pro Cricuit!

The Australian Cyber League has always been committed to providing the biggest, most exciting and most professional gaming events in Australia. Since 2006, we've been on a never-ending learning curve, finding out the best way to bring you high quality National-scale live events. In 2014, we are more dedicated to this cause than ever, and we will outline the position of ACL for this year and what you can expect from us.

With that being said ACL is pleased to release initial details on its 2014 circuit, however each event of the year will have its own full announcement. 2014 will see some changes to the typical structure that some may have grown used to over the years, however you can still expect bigger and better events than ever!

+ [ACL's Position in 2014] +

In 2014 ACL and its core staff will be working on a myriad of eSports projects, some that tie in with the 2014 ACL Pro Circuit and some that do not. Projects ACL will be involved in throughout this year are the Call of Duty Championship, Blizzard's WCS Oceania/SEA Qualifiers and League of Legends events. All these events provide you, Australia's eSports player base, the opportunity to compete in events for the games you know and love. While they may not be typical ACL events, they are events that ACL and their staff members are working on to help push eSports in this region. As one could imagine, with so many events already scheduled in 2014 that we are involved in, we have had to modify our structure to not only accommodate for these events and allow time between them, but also to dedicate our resources in a logical and even manner that doesn't effect our level of quality. We wish to ensure every ACL event has the full level of service and experience you've come to expect in the past. To be clear, ACL will be involved in the running of more eSports events in 2014 than ever before.

ACL is proud to announce our first National-scale live event for 2014 over the weekend of July 19th - 20th at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney.

Announced Titles:
League of Legends - 5v5 - PC
Starcraft 2 - 1v1 - PC
Call of Duty: Ghosts - 4v4 - Xbox One

That's right, the venue of Blizzard's WCS Australia & Oceania Finals returns for the largest ACL event to date. We will be utilising three separate, though conjoining, rooms at the Australian Technology Park. So each game will have its own room, with its own crowd, with its own mainstage!

That's still being confirmed. Initial thoughts are the theatre but again nothing is 100% yet :)

Sounds cool! You'll also know which groups will need to do the set-up + clean-up after. No excuses.

Very tempted to make the trip, provided that it times out with uni break (Missing 10 days out last semester was harsh!)

[syfChadMann]

Good stuff boys, Hopefully I will see you all in Sydney.

There will be ACL crew on site both 17th and 18th - so yes we will be there all of the 18th. In terms of when we do setup for StarCraft II and when we do testing etc is still to be confirmed. We will provide more clarity as to what volunteer roles need filling once we are clear.
