As you’ve probably seen from the press release that went out last week, we have significant plans for Vs. System in 2008. Ben Seck’s article later today explains the process for the fan-created Marvel Universe set next year. Now, I’d like to address things from an Organized Play perspective.
I can confirm that 2008 will feature Vs. System Mega Weekends. Unlike the one big Mega Weekend tournament in 2007, the 2008 version of the program will feature more tournaments in different locations. Feedback for the first Mega Weekend was tremendous, and we wanted to provide additional opportunities to play in these higher-level events.
These Mega Weekend tournaments will lead up to the first ever Vs. System World Championships in 2008. Vs. System will be going into its fifth year, and we’ve given out lots of trophies and titles in that time. We think it’s time to let our dedicated fans compete for the honor of being named World Champion. This event will take place in the summer of 2008, with the venue to be determined.
There have been a number of rumors floating around in the Vs. System community, and we want to clarify some assumptions players are making. The Vs. System World Championships will not have a traditional cash payout. Instead, we are aiming to produce a prize structure with cool and exciting non-cash prizes, which will be specifically picked with the Vs. System player in mind. We’re still hammering out the details, but I can confirm we’re working hard to come up with the most exciting prize structure we can. Even though these prizes will not be cash oriented, they will have significant value.
We’re working hard on finalizing all the logistics for these programs, and we will deliver the details to you in December. This will include the tournament structure, venues, dates, and of course, prize payouts. To answer a common question, you will be able to use existing Pro Circuit points to qualify for the Vs. System World Championships.
Vs. System players are the most dedicated and loyal TCG fans in the industry, and we thank you for your continued support. We’re eager to give you all the information as soon as we can so you can plan your 2008 calendar appropriately. Keep visiting VsSystem.com. You’ll hear from us soon!
