Last week, gamers from around the world were told of a revolution about to begin - known only as KODE5. We were told KODE5 will mass gamers in 16 countries in a series of regional events to find the best gamers from around the world. The best then fly to an undisclosed location to square off against the world's gaming elite. On March 9, CeBIT, the largest IT-related trade show in the world, will host the KODE5 global launch. Supported by Foxconn, Intel and ATi, the KODE5 launch will see dozens of professional gamers helping KODE5 bring gaming to CeBIT.

"The KODE5 launch at CeBIT will see the pros playing pros, as well as the everyday gamers taking each other on for some cool prizes. Hosted by Germany's largest gaming network, Giga TV, and with the Team Sportscast Network ( www.tsncentral.com), doing the play-by-play, show-goers and international media at CeBIT will have the first chance to witness the beginnings of the KODE5 Global Gaming Revolution. Users at home can also catch the excitement through an exclusive web broadcast. Since its inception in 1999, TsN has pioneered the use of online media to deliver programming specifically targeted at the multiplayer gaming community."
