Today, the news page GGL.com released an interview with Matthieu Dallon. Matthieu Dallon is the president of Games Services, the main company behind ESWC. In the interview with GGL, Dallon talks about plans of expanding ESWC, this means that there will be more events, and in more games.

Here is a small nippet from the interview:

GGL: Will we see ESWC dropping CS 1.6 next year to switch to Source or something else?

Dallon: I'm not in a position to answer yet. For ESWC the community's choice will be decisive. Personally, I think CS 1.6 will still be current next year, if only because it is so widespread internationally, whether legally, in pirate versions or LAN bundles. The other factor will be Valve's strategy in terms of rights to use the game, and I don't have any information on that.

GGL: Are there any plans for the ESWC to expand into a circuit of tournaments, not WCG's twin brother?

Dallon: Yes, the plan we're working on for the 2007/2008 season is to stage a series of international events every two or three months, as well as the national qualifying events. They will be called "Masters", and they will for example enable players from countries that do not have national qualification processes to try their chances for the Grand Final.
