ESEA gave me the heads up about an upcoming free online SF4 tournament from Toshiba.ca (Thanks Canada!) so I thought I’d pass it along for you guys since it’s free and I think online tournaments are definitely going to play an important role in the future.
Toshiba.ca presents a series of online tournaments, the Toshiba.ca Gamer’s Choice Tournaments with $10,000 in prizes up for grabs! The Toshiba.ca Gamers’ Choice events are FREE to compete in and are open to everyone living in Canada. Sign-up now for your chance to compete in the following events:
Street Fighter IV (1v1) on Xbox 360 starts Aug. 24th
Halo 3 (4v4) on Xbox 360 starts Sept. 20th
Counter-Strike 1.6 (5v5) on PC starts Sept. 24th
Hawx (1v1) on Xbox 360 starts Oct. 5th

Left 4 Dead (4v4) on PC starts Oct. 25th
Gears of War 2 (4v4) on Xbox 360 starts Nov. 8th
In addition to the top three finishers in each game winning some great prizes, ten lucky tournament participants will win either a pair of Gunnar Optiks e-sports collection glasses or an Xbox or PC Ubisoft game title of their choosing. To be eligible, all you have to do is signup and play your matches, and you’ll be eligible for the random prize drawing!
Remember, registration is FREE! Don’t miss out on the action, and sign-up now for all the events!
Good luck! There is also a thread about it on the forums so if you’re going to participate, post there with your progress and updates.
Hey guys its x45x and registration is OPEN! Gootecks’ Online Tournament 1.1 is on!
To register, just go onto our forums and add your name, location, psn/live username on a post to the thread and you’re good. Registration closes August 5th, and the matches will start the following week (depending on how well i get the brackets done). This time brackets will be posted on the main part of the forums as well as the tournament section, but scores will need to be posted in the tournament section. No excuses. For more details on rules, go over to the forums and check out the registration thread.

And ESEA is involved in some capacity so you know that it’s going to run smooth (they did the tourney logistics at WCG Fighters Club and the Target booth at E3).
