WCG confirm 2012 game titles

Roughly twelve hours after our report about World Cyber Games 2012's game titles, the Korean event organizer has confirmed the initial rumours to be correct.

Counter-Strike 1.6 will not be featured at World Cyber Games 2012 despite of the event taking place in China which has traditionally been a fairly sizable market for the Counter-Strike series. However, Counter-Strike: Online is added as a promotional title.

WCG 2011 was the last event to feature Counter-Strike 1.6

As previously mentioned the first two official game titles will be FIFA 12 and Crossfire which was also featured as a side tournament at World E-Sports Masters 2012 held in Hangzhou. Among promotional titles is Counter-Strike: Online, but according to sources of HLTV.org it will only feature Chinese teams as the entire game is made solely for the Asian market.

The World Cyber Games CEO Brad Lee still conveyed optimism over the game choices, saying "We are excited to unveil the game titles for the WCG 2012 Grand Final, which are the world`s most popular titles across every genre in competitive gaming today", but although this year's event is looking to still add more game titles, it's hard to imagine the event seeing the kind of success we have seen from WCG in the past.
