Last year, the event attracted over 10,000 people to compete in various games such as Quake World, Tekken and Street Fighter. There are also demo-coding competitions and awards for the best World of Warcraft Guilds- the winner will sack in $45,000!

Putting on an event of this magnitude requires some serious hardware. The worlds largest LAN (local area network) will be supported by a bandwidth of 40 gigabit per second with a capacity of 92 terabit per second!
