WCG 2007 : Analysis

Quickie : What do our Warcraft player, Paulyan, Hybrid's player, rico, Need for Speed's Sophian Shahirul, and lastly, our FIFA Soccer player, Rinie Ramli had in common ? Their visas got rejected by the US Embassy. So what does this mean ? It means that we only have 3 games to shine this year that is Counter-Strike, Starcraft, and Command and Conquer III. Read here to know more about it.


The final is near. Below are the groupings for our own representative (Malaysia) in Counter-Strike, Starcraft, and Command and Conquer III.

Counter-Strike Group E
Titans (Singapore), Team roccat (Finland), CNO Gaming (Netherlands), Nearly God (Thailand), and Hybrid (Malaysia)

Antabax: Quite a tough group here with Titans and roccat. Nevertheless, I know Hybrid can prove themself here. Their past performance in tourneys around Malaysia is top notch on my opinion. Hybrid team members are Graham “StaiN!” Chin, Leong “fions” Khaw Jin, Abdul Azim “bobotrify” Yazid, Abdul Hakim “Jabronizs” Yazid and Hybrid|Nicholas (replacing Gerard “rico” Anand)

Starcraft : The Brood War Group D
Androide (Russia), BringiT.asS (Mexico), cooch (Trinidad & Tobago), jamesfoo (Malaysia), and Nyoken (USA).

Antabax: Besides Androide and Nyoken, the other players is not quite known internationally. So if jamesfoo can beat Androide and Nyoken, then there is no problem for the no 1 spot.

Command and Conquer III : Tiberium Wars
anze.slovenia (Slovenia), Apollooo (United Kingdom), khufu_ownz (USA), ror1Alpha (Malaysia), and StyleLiga (Germany).

This time around, maybe, our representative can put Malaysia on the map for cyber gaming. They have grown quite a lot since last time. For example, Hybrid has proved themself again why they are qualified to represent Malaysia for counter-strike just like last year and yeah, after watching the finals and the match against Vietnam during the recent WCG 2007 Malaysia's qualifier, I must say they improved a lot than last time. Their rushes, counter-push, communication, team play is simply amazing. I wish them good luck on representing us and all the best !
