After spending the past two years (and this year as well) in North America and Europe, the WCG Grand Finals will be back in Asia next year. The last time WCG Grand Finals in Asia was held in 2005, where Singapore played the host to the biggest video games festival in the world.

For next year edition, the WCG Committee has chosen Chengdu, China as the WCG 2009 Grand Finals host city. As one of the most important economy and technology hub in China, the city is already equipped with necessary capability to make it happen. So, it's pretty natural that when selection committee mentioned that Chengdu received the highest marks among all the cities that bid to host the 2009 Grand Finals.

With millions of gamers living in China, I bet WCG 2009 Grand Finals will be a hit among them. Full press released available after the jump.
