SG Interactive announced that the 1st Annual Pangya World Championship will be held on Jan. 22, 2011 at Akiba Square in Tokyo, Japan. In commemoration of this inaugural event, SG Interactive will be hosting a contest on Facebook with potential prizes for Pangya players worldwide, as well as offering brand new, PWC-themed in-game merchandise.

SG Interactive is calling on Pangya players everywhere to cheer on the competitors of the PWC by holding a special screenshot contest. To enter, players just need to capture a screenshot of their character in-game, add a chat bubble with a creative, inspiring, or silly phrase, and submit it to the official Cheerleader Tryout Post on the Pangya Facebook page. At the end of the contest, three winners will be selected and each awarded a unique Kooh figurine. All entries must be submitted by 5PM PST on Jan. 18 to be considered valid. Put those thinking caps on and enter for your chance to win this one-of-a-kind prize.

Also, available immediately for fans to purchase in-game are the new PWC Club set, which includes Power +8/Slot +6, Control +7/Slot +5, and additional stats, as well as PWC Comets Onyx and Pearl. These items are only available for a limited time, so don’t miss out!
