First-ever EVE Online cash tournament gets underway

It's a heck of a weekend for high-profile gaming tournaments. Not only is Blizzard running its Battle.net World Championship all weekend in Shanghai, but CCP is kicking off the first-ever New Eden Open for EVE Online.

Twenty-seven teams will be competing for $10,000 over the course of the next three weekends.

And of course, what would an online gaming tournament be without being able to watch it live online? CCP has you covered over on the CCP Games channel on own3D.tv with live streaming beginning at 1:00PM EST.

See you in New Eden later today!
