On 6th of April, there was a big gaming event in Thailand called "E-Sports Thailand Championship 2008". One of the games featured is Dota All-Stars. Only 3 Asian teams were invited to the event which is Zenith from Singapore, XcN from Indonesia and KingSurf from Malaysia competing in a pool of Thailand clans.

Those three clans managed to reach the semi-finals. Zenith lose to XcN eventually and KS won against a Thailand clan, TRUST. KS will face XcN in the final. KS have a few matches before in other tournaments against XcN and the results are always favouring the Indonesian clan.

Gamers, specifically Dota All-Stars players, MYM Prime Defending is back again. The online tournament hosted by Meet Your Makers is so famous and well known world wide. This is one of the reason it can be run successfully albeit some minor issues and conflicts.

The previous tourney, Prime Defending #9, MYM which is the host for the tournament, managed to snatch the first place back from Virtus.Pro who won it before. Second place goes to WG and lastly, Virtus.Pro is 3rd. During the finals for the loser-bracket, Virtus.Pro ff-ed the matches, thus WG advanced to the grand finals automatically.

" KS won 2nd place in SINGTEL 2007 GXL Season 2 "

We also cant forget the big issue from the last tournament where Team KS from Malaysia was falsely accused cheating/maphacking. In the end of the day, they were proved innocent (c'mon, who would cheat infront of 1-2k of fans watching from behind in a cyber-cafe ?). Time will tell if KS will join this tourney again. Same goes to the other Dota clans originated from Malaysia.

I would like to congratulate my fellow clanmates, tDs, for their third placing in a recent tournament held at Melaka. They went home with RM 750. Well done guys. Considering this might be the last tournament for y'all, it is indeed a nice moment to remember.

Hmm, you guys better watch out now. Recently, a Playstation Portable overheated in a schoolboy's pocket which burned his leg. Well, his leg are still safe though, just some small burns actually.

" Don't think you are safe with the PSP in your pouch "

The Fire officials said that the leaking PSP's battery caused the burns. Hmm, I wonder how the battery got leaked because mine is still fine after 2 years of portable gaming, indoor or outdoor.

" Next time you want to lick your PSP, think again "

" Playing in the bathroom will always be the safest choice "

The Fire officials still don't know whats the cause of it. Well, for the time being, I don't think putting the PSP in your pocket is a good choice. Put it in a bag or something. Better be safe than sorry.

Well, it's weird that some country in this world would ban games such as Counter-Strike and Everquest. Because of the ban, about 30 Brazilians consisting of gamers, teachers, and professionals that are related to the games held a peace demonstration to protest the ban by their government.

" English : My mom plays Counter-Strike "

The protest was organized by using the internet. Thought the protess never get the attention it needed, this is a good first step for the gamer community to organize themselves and try to appeal against the court decision that prohibited the sale of the games in Brazilian territory. Its a waste, really, because one of the top clan in the world, Made in BRazil originated from Brazil !

" One of the top Counter-Strike clan in the world, MiBR "

So what's next ? World of Warcraft ? Lineage II ? Warcraft III ? Dota All-Stars ?

Well, this is not something new but I want to share it because not everyone watched this video before. It is a direct flame for the Wii fanboys. They used the song "My Name is" by Eminem. Its now called "I Hate This". Enjoy.

On Friday morning, I spent my time at the office. There is a new patch rolling out for our system and I have volunteered to test it since I'm not goin anywhere for Chinese New Year. Well, not that bad actually, luckily there was no error in our system. Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year !

" Happy Chinese New Year !! "

If you've been playing RPG or MMORPG games, I'm 100% sure you know the item 'Mana Potion'. Well, some clever dudes from Harcos has invented this potion for our own world. It is still called 'Mana Potion' though. This thing looks real enough and don't seem like a joke to me. So I guess, they must be serious with their product, 'Mana Potion'.


According to their website, this energy drink doesn't contain any sugar and has lots of vitamins. It is equivalent to about two 8-ounce Red Bulls or four cups of crappy office coffee. After drinking it, it will replenish about 160 mana.

" Just shove those 'bucks' away for 'Mana Potion' "

To know more about this wonderful, magically enhanced 'Mana Potion', you can browse to their website. Sadly, they only serve U.S. customers for the mean time.
