People may recognise the Team Germany gamer of Michael Sowa, I am going to shed some light for those who can't quite wrap their heads around it. Michael Trigger Sowa, has been at the top of the CoD scene since the beginning. He was officially voted the Best Player In Europe in 2006 by the Call of Duty 2 community. He eventually moved onto bigger things within the CoD4 scene, which saw him play for teams such as WinFakt, Reason, ChoZen and was most recognised with the fully German team of Team-SPEEDLINK in which he attended numerous LAN events with. He is one of the most recognisable players to grace the scene and CoD Scene should feel very happy for Michael being the only CoD player representing his country.
Michael has massive respect within our scene and we can only help and support him over the next four weeks as he hopes to add to the title of Ultimate Gamer to his list of achievements. I am sure Michael will appreciate any support given to him which should ultimately add to his confidence in the next few days.
The first game has been announced and is none other then Trackmania 2 Canyon, as part of the Racing genre we will see the group stage played on Tuesday 5th June 2012 with the finals being held five days later on Sunday 10th June 2012. Both dates will see the action start at 19h00GMT/20h00CET.
On top of all this excitement, the organisers behind the Alienware Gaming Masters 2012 are going to be giving away Six Counter-Strike: Global Offensive BETA Keys. All you have to do is go to the team pages by clicking on the circular Team Icons above and just leave a comment, it's as easy as that. They will be giving out one key per country to a random individual who posted a comment to show their support.
