A group of gamers from each country will get the opportunity to meet and play with one of the world's biggest names in strategy gaming. Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, a member of the 4Kings and four times World Champion at Warcraft 3 will be undertaking the tour of the 3 mentioned countries to show what life as a professional gamer is like.
The tour itself begins on Monday 5th September and concludes on Friday 9th September and will be visiting Taipei, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

We are always looking for new ways to continue developing computer gaming into a sport and engaging different cultures through the support from Intel is one way of achieving this goal." - Philip Wride, 4Kings Manager
