TransAtlantic Showdown
This is something that has never been done before in the gaming world at least. The hot story today goes like this:-
Today, twenty-four of Europe's best video gamers on their way from Copenhagen to the TransAtlantic Showdown video gaming championships in New York, will hold real-time wireless online exhibition matches in the air!
The video gamers, part of Global Gaming League's AmeriCup vs. EuroCup competition, are on a Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) plane, equipped with the Connexion by Boeing in-flight Internet data and entertainment service, enabling them to compete on their laptops 30,000 feet above the North Atlantic.
Now, that's what I call taking gaming to dizzy heights, isn't it?
