Overview[edit]
The 2006 IEF, or International e-Sports Festival was held from September 28-29, 2006 in Shanghai, China.[1][2][3] It was composed of 16 players from China and South Korea, eight from each country, after a preliminary qualification process.[4] The Chinese qualifiers were held in a number of major cities to select the strongest national representatives, while Korean preliminaries progressed from April through July for the September grand finals.[5][6]
Alongside the StarCraft competition, tournaments for Warcraft III, Guild Wars, and Counter-Strike were also held.[7][8]
The tournament was the second in a series of collaborative tournaments between the two nations, following the 2005 CKCG.
Tournament Information[edit]
The matches were played as a best of one format in the Group Stage, while the Elimination Stage bracket was a best of three format. The Group Stage, which was played as four-person round robins, enabled the selection of the top eight finishers. The Elimination Stage then followed as a single-elimination bracket.[9][10]
