(Undisclosed Location) – April 10th, 2008 – In 2006, KODE5 set out to change the landscape of competitive gaming by creating a tournament that was designed to address the needs and feedback of the gaming community. To that end, KODE5 is pleased to announce that it has invited Turkish gaming team DarkPassage to attend the KODE5 2007 Global Final event in Moscow, Russia. DarkPassage, the Turkish representative from the 2006 KODE5 season, was unable to attend the 2006 KODE5 Global Final due to complications with local Turkish KODE5 organizers and sponsors. Today, KODE5 looks to set things right and give DarkPassage their rightful shot at a KODE5 Global Final event. With Global Supporters Cooler Master, GIGABYTE, and Corsair Memory, the KODE5 Global Gaming Revolution brings competitive gaming to the forefront with events in over 16 countries across the globe.

“It’s great to finally have DarkPassage come to a KODE5 Global Final event,” says Lester Lau, KODE5 Revolutionary-in-Command. “We have always been huge supporters of the Turkish gaming community, and regretted the way things turned out for them last season because of some unscrupulous local sponsors that decided to pull support at the last possible minute. I hope that DarkPassage will be able to show the strength of Turkish competitive gaming with this invitation to the KODE5 2007 Global Final.”

"Although things did not work out last season, DarkPassage is excited to be able to attend this year’s KODE5 Global Final," says Ertug Okcuoglu, DarkPassage Team Captain. "It is nice to see a gaming organization like KODE5 whole-heartedly supporting the gaming community by stepping up and keeping its promises. DarkPassage is currently training very hard for this tournament. We are looking forward to showing off our skills to the world on the KODE5 stage in May!"
