Looking at the brackets, I think the favorites for the winner's bracket final four would have to be Fatality/Lakerman, Emplate, Trinidy/Python, and Zero4. Emplate scored a big victory over DOOMer in the Round of 32, and he really could be the cinderalla of this tournament. He also has the easiest road, with a match next against Carnage (Singapore) and then against Apple (China) if he wins.

The food sux, the resort sux, the systems sux, the staff sux, the rules sux.
The girls RULES!!!!!!!!!
80% of the girls i saw pass and ****able.
So far i only saw like erm 2 fat girls in korea.

More and more Red Alert 2 screenshots have been posted revealing all the mayhem that is expected to enter the shops around November.

More Mech devastation available with the upcoming MechWarrior4. Check out these screenies for some idea on how the battle scenes would look like in this upcoming game!


Warzone League
[ 3:46 PM | Mavik | 86 comments ]
The first day of the Warzone League just passed yesterday with Clan Kraken losing to Clan OG by one win. In the first match, Kraken lost the flip and had to choose terrorists. This gave the advantage to OG to trash Kraken 19-5. Kraken's lost was not that severe. When it came to the second match and the side's were changed, Kraken tried to get 14 wins to try to draw with OG but only managed to beat OG 13-0. Since OG knew that they were winning with a large margin, their tactic for terrorists were to camp and wait till time's up. Well after seeing OG played, I never knew de_dust had so many hiding spots until now =P. Anyway it was a great game and gg to the winners!

WGCC Qualifiers
[ 12:45 PM | Mavik | 1 comments ]
Here are matches that were played during the weekend at WGCC. Sorry for posting this up late but was getting ready for a Counter Strike League match yesterday. More news about the league coming up! Anyway lets not get carried away. Firstly s37.Elan from Korea won 2 of his matches both in Q3DM13 while High-winD]NOS[ from Japan losing to Elan but winning T2 from Hong Kong in Q3DM13 were the qualifiers from Group 1. Seems that all the qualifying matches were in Q3DM13. Pity the players who didn't know anyting about this setup. Anyway Fatality had a rough match with Stelam only barely winning Stelam 9-4 while Stelam had a very tough match with InsaneKILL from Mexico wining only 1-0. Close call. Our good neighbours both qualified where Carnage won both his matches and Buzz winning one match and losing one to Python from down under.

Anyway here are the rest of the qualifiers!

s37.Elan (Korea) slk(Mexico) =DOC= Birdboy(China) Ambix(Sweden)	High-winD]NOS[(Japan) [V6]KariN(Korea) Raver(Hong Kong) =DOC=Gameboy(China)	LakermaN(Sweden) GianT(Germany) Trinidy(Sweden) Denpxc(France)

Fatality(United States) Emplate(Canada) Buzz(Singapore) Dieskau]NOS[(Japan)	Stelam(Germany) =I.D=Apple(China) Python(Australia) Edge(Canada)

The rest of the matches will be played in a classic style double round elimination and players will be able to choose their map of choice I think. The maps are as usual Q3Tourney4, Q3DM13, Q3Tourney2 and so on. More news updates coming up!

Olympics in Korea?
[ 8:17 PM | Mavik | 4 comments ]
Yeah you heard it right. There is an olympics in Korea. It is the World Games Cyber Challenge. It is a pity that we Malaysians can't have a chance to represent our country but still there is always hope. Maybe when the government don't think that computer games are a waste of time or cyber cafes are illegal, there could be a slight 0.001% chance that we can actually have a big gaming scene. By the way, good luck to the Singaporeans who are competing in the World Games Cyber Challenge. Remember to uphold the South East Asian pride!

CS Warzone League Updates
[ 6:22 PM | Mavik ]
Okay here are the updates. Sorry for posting this up so late but at least it's finally up. Well the results are quite expected I think for most people. Anyway here they are;

First Day of Qualifier
Clan: Gang beat [v]endetta 23-9
Clan: WPGS (We play Ghey strike) beat M|O|D 31-5
Clan: (Omaha)-Zigzag beat Outlaw 22-4
Clan: Plam2 beat Spana 42-2

Top fragger of da day= WPGS Zanzamar, with 42 frags and 8 deaths.and 8 deths.

Second Day of Qualifier
Clan: S.I (Sanctioned Insanity) beat 3D 32-1
Clan: Plam1 beat blur 33-5
Clan: NBTD beat [x_x]dead_blur 48-1
Clan: Omaha2 beat F/Skin 17-3
Clan: Ghost beat S.P.Y 34-1
Clan: S.I_team2 beat NBR 20-6
Clan: Alien beat Gold 27-3
Clan: TGA draw/drew P.S.U 14-14 (but TGA won due tohighest individual frags)
Clan: DB beat E.I.D 24-14
Clan: P.S.U-2 beat OTG 29-10
Clan: Kraken won Silent Killers 0-0 (walkover for Kraken).
Clan: D.I.O.P beat Virus 42-1

Seems that Kraken got lucky and had a walkover. According to my sources, the Clan Silent Killers couldn't make it that day and only 3 could turn up. Therefore they finally said that they would give Kraken a walkover. Anyway GG all these teams.

Warzone CS League
[ 5:19 PM | Mavik | 5 comments ]
Today is the 2nd day of the qualifying rounds with teams like Omaha 1 and 2 playing today. Also Kraken has a matchup around 7.30pm. After tonight more info about the teams who qualified will be posted up. These qualified teams will endure a 3 months battle in a league format. In each league game, the winner will receive 3 points while the loser gets only 1 point. In an event of a draw both teams will receive 1 point each. If a team does not turn up for the match, that a walkoever will commence and the winning team will receive 3 points while the team that didn't turn up will have a -1 point from their total points. Clan OG were very lucky as they didn't have to go through the qualifying rounds as they were bypassed due to lucky drawing.

Britney Spears Rox!
[ 5:12 PM | Mavik | 2 comments ]
A new definition for Britney is that she rocks. Thats what happened at the taylor's Battle of The Bands 2000. Remember about Keil singing? Well his band sang Crazy by Britney Spears and the judges from EMI gave their band 2nd place. Talk about rocking the place with Britney Spears! Anyway the winners were Pez69, The Batangs(Keil) and Sunflower. Unfortunately my band didn't get any placing =(, but the whole event was fun and cool. Remember Keil, we are all ball suckers!

Whats More To Come?
[ 1:40 PM | Mavik | 14 comments ]
After what Nael has posted earlier, well it seems that the Malaysian gaming scene will always end up lost(the Quake scene that is). Just down below us, our neighbours seem to be doing very well, or is it that we can't show our real potential. Read this and weep.

SINGAPORE 18th Sept 2000- SiliconHorizon.com, the largest professional gaming hardware distributors in Asia, announced today that Carnage, also known as Darren Martin Lee, would be the company’s first corporate sponsored gamer. SiliconHorizon.com will provide Carnage, the undisputed Quake III local champion, with full gaming hardware sponsorship including the Razer Boomslang™ gaming mouse, Everglide Gaming Mousepads and other cutting edge gaming hardware as well as traveling and lodging expenses for selected gaming tournaments regionally. SiliconHorizon.com will also provide hardware sponsorship for the Singapore Quake Team.




All the best to the Singaporeans!

Playa Hata!
[ 12:30 PM | Nael | 10 comments ]
Oh look a little tidbit I hooked off Cached's - my favourite hangout for news. In a thread regarding Carnage's being sponsored by SiliconHorizon.com someone (who you HOPE) mentioned us, and also those unemployed goons from across the street - there one of them's peeking outta the sewer grate...

CARNAGE would do good if he proved himself, his region, AND gave new life into the region's Quake scene. In neighbouring Malaysia, the hardcore Quakers have more or less given up due to the continuous onslaught of petty civilians taking a liking of Counterstrike, no doubt induced by the herd mentality and a very serious case of arms deprivation.

All tourneys revolve around CS, are badly organized and end up in little physical episodes - especially when it involves self-proclaimed "best" clan around, NBTD (Nothing But Total Dipshit). The very few Q3A tourneys that are actually held showed much higher levels of skill, maturity and intensity, but street urchins being that, the majority still gravitate towards mediocrity and crap.

Quake rules, and Quake proves it in itself. Why then do people have to revert to a socially handicapped and intellectually uninvolving little software equivalent of festering turd like CS?
