The economic recession has caused a number of pro PC gaming leagues in the past few years to close their operations but one that has stayed afloat is the World Cyber Games. This week the league, which started out in and is still based in Korea, announced that their grand finals, which is held in a different city each year, will be hosted by Los Angeles for the 2010 edition. The event will be held at the LA Convention Center, home of E3.

The World Cyber Games previously came to the US to hold its grand finals in 2004 (San Francisco) and 2007 (Seattle). The 2009 grand finals will be held on November 11-15 in Chengdu, China as hundred of players from around the world are expected to compete in a number of PC and Xbox 360 game tournaments. There's no word yet on exactly when the 2010 Los Angeles grand finals will be held.
