Yesterday's match was a breath taking one. How can I know this when I dont even get to connect to the GGTV server ? Let just say I have some psychic power. Anywy, not sure if my connection is fcuked up or there are too many gamers connecting to the server that disabled me to join it. Anyway, I've got some info from the official GGC thread here. The first match, Ks played on the sentinel side and they picked Priestess of the Moon, Queen of Pain, Sven, Lina, and Shadow Fiend where else W4SI, on the scourge side, picked Tinker, Drow Ranger, Tormented Soul, Zeus and Spectre. Ks managed to win the first match. The second match, it was W4SI's turn to play on the sentinel side and they drafted Faceless Void, Zeus, Viper, Sven, and Necrolyte while Ks, on the scourge side, drafted Queen of Pain, Centaur Warchief, Tormented Soul, Nerubian Assasin, and Tinker. W4SI lost again and Ks was crowned the champion of the first GGC Malaysia Dota tournament.
The replays are out with some details about it which you can read it here. Thanx to Nasriq, Ns-Hon, and also Underminer for organizing this tournament. I hope that he will send to me the other matches's replay too. Lastly, good luck to Xero and Cybertime`G for their 3rd and 4th placing.

With all the ads about gaming especially the ones related to the new Nintendo's console, Wii and Microsoft latest console, XboX 360, they have found a new platform to exploit and to market their console. You wouldnt have guessed it in the first place. Its Nascar. Their first appearance would be at the Dover International Speedway on September 23rd where the Dover 400 Nextel Cup Series will be held.

" Microsoft goes all out for its Halo 3 campaign "If you ask me, I would say that the Halo 3's car is better than the Wii's car. I guess, Nintendo should pick a mascot rather than just the Wii itself because Microsoft did a good job with the Halo 3. I wonder if Playstation will join this bandwagon.
Just observe this Super Mario Galaxy game's box art below :-
" Observe it carefully "So did you see it ? Ok. Let me give a hint. Read the title and now read it again minus the letters that dont have little starry sparkle under em. Now I hope you realise that it spells "U R MR GAY". So any Mario lovers here ? You are a gay if you are playing this game !
Have you guys ever played the game Colin McRae Rally ? The latest title from the Colin McRae series is Colin McRae : DiRT that was released on June 15, 2007 for XBOX360 and PC. Back to the topic, he was killed when the Squirrel helicopter that he was piloting crashed near his family home in Jerviswood, Lanarkshire. His five years old son, Johnny, is said to be with him on board and this means that he is killed too because no survivors were found. Below are some pictures related to Colin Mcrae incase you guys don't know who or what the world is Colin Mcrae. Shame on you.

After a few visits to the booth that are available there, MTH have decided to sign-up for the online game, Rakion (with Derky and me).

The booth somehow look packed because their were set up close to each other. Nevertheless, it is still a successful event if you ask me. Through out the event, Vietnam paid us a visit for a friendly training to prepare themself for the grand final. Im not quite sure about the other games but for Counter-Strike, I got to watch the first match which we were represented by FMJ and the 2nd match where Hybrid played. Sadly to say, Vietnam's team were below par with our own Malaysian team. I wish them good luck. Also, I spotted MYM.ASH at the Starcraft Qualifying Chart. He is the international clan, MYM, Starcraft Manager. He managed to reach the quarter-final. Anyway, below are some of the results for Wcg 2007 Malaysia Qualifier.

Congratulations to the winners and may they bring fame for us Malaysian gamers at the grand final that will be held at Seattle.
Around last week, the same day with the big gaming event WCG 2007 (Saturday), we (I and my housemates) went to the famous tDs's Queen of Pain, Iskandar or better known as tDs-IS, brother's wedding. By goin to the wedding, we can save our money by just having our lunch there and perhaps, can last us atleast until dinner. The really funny part is that Slideways printed about 4 copies of the map that can lead us without no hassle to Is's house. Out of the 4 printed copies, none were taken with us. Btoii dak ?? (Right ??) Enjoy the pics below.

Quickie : WCG 2007 Malaysia is finally over. Congrats to those who won. Will blog about it later tonite.
Here are some updates on the GGC Malaysia tournament. It has reached the semi final stage right now. So which team that qualified for the semi final ? For the first round to determine the quarter-finalist before the semi final, as usual, the 2 top teams (total of 16 teams) of each group need to defeat their opponent to qualify for the quarter-final. Cybertime`G managed to qualify after some grueling matches with PD which they won by 2-1 while W4SI on the other hand, won 2-0 againts [W.A.R]. The under dog team, XERO, again, surprised everyone by defeating PLAB. One of the members is a friend of mine and their teamwork is quite strong judging by the way they converse in game. Meanwhile, SMGP lost to MBJB with the score 2-0. eD, a quite well known online clan, will also join the qualified teams after winning 2-1 against MILK. Another quite known clan, Ks, defeated [IV] and like eD, will join the others for the quarter final. The two remaining teams that proceed to the quarter final is team NsP and aTTP. They won because their opponent, ABC and TMSTYLE lose their qualification.
Now lets talk about the quarter final that separates them. Xero, yes you bet it, won with the score 2-1 against MBJB. From some insider(s), I heard that it was a tough game for XERO but they managed to pull it off and win 2 matches. For eD, sad for them because they are fighting for a semi-final spot and the team that they need to face is non other than W4SI which are quite famous and have won some lan tournaments before. The score ended with 2-0 in favour of W4SI. It is heard that they forfeited the match due to one of their member's internet connection was so bad. Nevermind, there is always next time. Ks, who won before, managed to continue their winning streak by defeating aTTP. The last team who qualified for the semi final is Cybertime`G which they got through the quarter final with ease because team NsP lose their qualification.
So we have 4 strong teams now for the semi final which is Cybertime`G, XERO, Ks, and W4SI. The schedule is out here. A lot of people already have Cybertime`G and W4SI for the final game in their mind. Let see if XERO can upset W4SI or maybe Ks will win against Cybertime`G in the semi final. As always, time will tell.
First of all, do you guys know the term 'cosplay' ? For a head start, click here. Its well known that people who love anime (Japanese animation) & manga (Japanese comic), and video games created by the Japanese will involve themself with cosplay. Either they dress up as their fave character to the cosplay event or they just attend it as a normal spectator. This craze has spread almost everywhere in the world where anime & manga is available. This craze (cosplay) also exist in the country where Spaghetti, Pasta, and Pizza is their trademark, Italy. Well how did they fare ? Just observe this particular model from Italy, Francescadani, who specializes in cosplay below.
" Francescadani as Cassandra Alexander from Soul Calibur 2 "
" Francescadani as Stellar Lousier from Gundam Seed Destiny "
" Francescadani as Katase Shime from Stellvia of the Universe "
" Francescadani as Kasumi from Dead or Alive 2 "
" Francescadani as Nagisa Misumi from Futari wa Pretty Cure "
" Francescadani as Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers "Nice eyy ? This girl has proven that cosplay is not just for the people from the land of the rising sun, Japan. It is for everyone who are interested in anime, manga, and videogames that comes from Japan. Cosplay also has spread its wings here in Malaysia but it is still in its infant stage. Time will tell if its gonna become a huge craze like it is in Japan.
