UEFA EURO 2016 Virtual Tournament
May 17, in the year of our Lord 2016
--Konami Digital Entertainment B.V’s PES League is giving
players the chance to play for a UEFA EURO 2016 Dream Ticket as
part of the Official UEFA EURO 2016 Virtual Tournament which
will take place at the heart of EURO 2016 in Paris, France.
Three PES League players from each of the EU, LatAm and Rest of
World regions will win the opportunity to compete in the event
on July 6th-7th one * of PES League. All three will have gained
their place by qualifying for and winning an online UEFA EURO
2016 Regional Final Event via PES League.
The UEFA EURO 2016 Regional Finals will take place on June 23rd
(EU and Rest of World) and June 24 (LatAm) and will be played on
the PlayStation®4 version of PES 2016. The winner of each UEFA
EURO 2016 Regional Final will get the opportunity to compete in
France with all travel and accommodation paid.
The format of the UEFA EURO 2016 Regional Finals will be
two-legged knockout competitions featuring eight players – all
of whom will have qualified through one of five week long UEFA
EURO 2016 Regional Final Qualification events. These
Qualification events will start on May 16th and will begin each
Monday from 12:00PM GMT until the following Sunday at 23:59 GMT.
During this time, the first 100 PES 2016 Online Division matches
a player completes on PlayStation®3 or PlayStation®4 versions of
PES 2016 using a team competing in UEFA EURO 2016** will count
towards the event. Players will be awarded three points for each
win and one point for each draw. Losses will not garner points.
Competing players will be ranked in the table of each UEFA EURO
2016 Regional Final Qualification event using the number of
points accumulated in that event. If two or more players are
level on points, the position will be decided on goal
difference, goals scored and goal ratio (goals vs shots on
goal). The player who finishes top of each week’s UEFA EURO 2016
Regional Final Qualification events along with the runners-up
from the UEFA EURO 2016 Regional Final Qualification Events in
weeks 4, 5 and 6 will make up the eight players who will compete
in the UEFA EURO 2016 Regional Final.
Details of all five weekly qualification events are as follows:
Week 1: May 16 – May 22: Winner qualifies
Week 2: May 23 – May 29: Winner qualifies
Week 3: May 30 – June 5: Winner qualifies and Runner-Up qualify
Week 4: June 6 – June 12: Winner and Runner-Up qualify
Week 5: June 13 – June 19: Winner and Runner-Up qualify
Each event is open to all PES League players within that region
provided they are not serving a ban when the qualification event
begins. Players will be added to the table of each event
automatically once they complete their first match.
A further place at the Official UEFA EURO 2016 Virtual
Tournament in France will be given to one randomly selected PES
League player. This draw will take place on June 27th and all
PES League accounts created by 12pm on that day will be
automatically entered.
