VAMPIRE: ELDER KINDRED NETWORK® ANNOUNCES LOCATION FOR 2011 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP
European National Coordinators Select Poland as Host Country for Vampire: The Eternal Struggle European Championship
WARSAW, POLAND - December 7th, 2010 – In a close vote, European National Coordinators have selected Poland to host the 2011 European Championship. Scheduled for November 11-13, 2011, the Polish event team will be hosting the affair at the Gromada Airport Hotel in Warsaw. Radoslaw "Szewski" Staszewski, Poland's National Coordinator, expects the event to draw 150 players who will compete in multiple tournaments as well as attend a welcoming party and experience Warsaw's sightseeing.
Poland's successful bid for the 2011 European Championship comes on the heels of a highly successful 2010 event in Paris, France. The 2011 event also has a special significance in that it is the first European Championship to be selected by the V:EKN after CCP's announcement that it will cease publication of the game. Vampire: Elder Kindred Network's selection and support of the 2011 event shows the organization's commitment to providing ongoing support for organized play in CCP's absence.
The Polish EC Team expects to launch a website with details for the event by the end of the first quarter of 2011.
