==Information==

[[Image:Group-tgi-1999.jpg|frame|right|From left to right: Sujoy, Timber, Reload, Griff, Kane, Izn0]]
<br>The True Gamers Invitational, or TGi for short, was a LAN event held in April [[1999]] at IT Palace in Gothenburg, admined by [[Izn0]].<br>
It was the first QuakeWorld tournament to gather the best duel players in the world, even though all Americans turned down their invitation.<br><br><br>
The participants came from Sweden, United Kingdom, Finland, Norway and Denmark, and Intel sponsored the flight of the Australian player [[Reload]]. No cash was awarded, but this was the most significant international competition at the time, and most participants went on to earn sponsorship to travel to other tournaments.

<br><br><br>

The final between Kane and Lakerman is one of the most exciting series ever played.
