About the author
Jonas Alsaker Vikan is the General Manager of Berlin Allianz. He led the team to a European championship and a third to fourth placing at the first CGS World Final. The twenty six year old Norwegian is also a journalist.


15. Febuary, Trondheim, Norway

Gaming and gaming culture is rapidly becoming part of mainstream culture. The amount of young people that play games and adhere to digital entertainment baffles onlookers and it continues to grow strongly year by year.

One of the consequences is that the gamers are considered serious assets for entities from the traditional entertainment business: The world of movies. This March an international movie festival will headline two of Berlin Allianz' players.


Kosmorama and gaming


Kosmorama is the name of an international movie festival held in Trondheim, Norway - a city of around 130 000 people, 30 000 of those are students. The festival kicks off Febuary 28th and ends on March 5th. As part of their effort to get young people involved in the events and activities they have invited two of the contracted players from Berlin Allianz to participate.

The event was announced yesterday
in a special promotional newspaper.

The idea is to hold a Beat the pro event where the gamers and big mouthed spectators are given a shot at one of the players - or both.

The format is familiar where Counter-Strike: Source will feature a one on one shootout on an aim_map and Dead or Alive 4 will be used for people to go head to head.


Livia «Liefje» Teernstra and David «olander» Olander-Persson will arrive in Trondheim on Febuary 29th. The events kick off the next day and they will be taking challenges from the crowds from 2 to 5 PM on Saturday and Sunday (March 1st and 2nd).

Our players will set up on a stage with two computers and two Xboxes respectivly.


Readers were treated to two full pages of
gaming and CGS related content.

Play with the best


Yesterday the film festival's own promotional newspaper was released and distributed to over 100 000 people.

In it you could find splash page advertising the event as well as a full page feature article on Berlin Allianz General Manager Jonas Alsaker Vikan, a Trondheim native, and the approach to digital entertainment.

Attendees can win Allianz merchendise by attending along with other cool prizes. This type of exposure is a first for our CGS players. For the fans it is a wonderful chance to meet contracted players and see how their skills match up. There will be lots of mainstream media on hand and you will be able to follow the event through this webpage.


Maybe next year our players can be present to meet the crowds at the world famous Berlin move festival as well.

Sounds like a pretty cool event. We're having a movie festival here in Ft. Myers coming up shortly as well. A lot of history about Edison and the early movie age.
