Well, this was suppose to be a special 2 day coverage of the international game tournament, the one and only, World Cyber Games ( WCG ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!! But something cropped up, and i'll get into this a little later =)
Anyway on Saturday when i went to WCG tournament area at Suntec Conventional centre, i was totally amazed by that spectacular scene; a really, really large stage where gamers of different countries will compete against each other, with those special lighting/fog/music effect, and not forgetting the wonderful rock music blasting at your face ( I believe it's not that bad ).
The large stage was a tournament/performance area, and there were 2 of them, 1 main and the other for the sole purpose broadcasting the gameplay footage by different gamers. There's another area where other games for other games like halo 2 ( Damn ! No full screen footage ! ) but there's not much area for the spectators darn...
There were different booths, mainly by Intel, Razor and Samsung, official sponsors of WCG 2005. Both Intel and Razor held game tournaments, but sadly i lacked the competitive mood to participate in, but it was the Samsung booth which stood out from the crowd. Booth babes. Yes, I DID say booth babes. In Singapore, this is a hell of a rare sight lol, apart from the bigger game conventions like E3, held in the US. Well, there was also this Warcraft cosply team, with really gorgeous ladies in stunning costumes lol. Anyway the main thing when people go to WCG is either to compete or view the stunning gameplay videos by the competitiors, so i did watch a match; Team EG of Canada VS Ichor of Australia, with Canada virtually controlling the whole match of Counter-Strike ( CS ).
Later when i just fooled around with my school friends, Xbox Live friends around the Samsung booth ( Although the Samsung booth babes played a factor with us staying there, it was the Xbox featuring Halo 2 ( I'm a big fan of Halo, ok ? ). Somewhere, somehow, a Portugal competitor for Halo 2 ( OMG ) challenge us to a match. Again, lacking a good, trustworthy controller ( The analog buttons were obivously horrible ) and the competitive spirit i backed out, leaving the xbox live players to VS him. 2 matches, with the first one lost to the Portugese 9 to 10 kills and the second match was a draw, 8 to 8. Again we have photo to prove this hehe, i'll upload them later.
Ok the end, and to why i did't go again on sunday for the WCG finals, is due to the fact that my father dragged me from 7.30am to go on this HSBC treetop trail with some family friends. By the time we came back at about 6.30pm ( We went pinic for hours, then to Parkway Parade for shopping of camp items and finally visiting my grandma ) Me and my dad were too worn out to go out again ( My dad actually said," Hm, maybe i MAY go to watch the WCG finals" And this thrilled me ). Well i guess this was not meant to be, too bad lol.
All Hail Tetra ! The Man Who Got Singapore A WCG Medal For Second !

Hey Jack, just wanted to raise the issue of booth babes with you. You can see them at pretty much any show, from Comex to IT Show...dun have to wait for WCG just to see them =)
Yes, but you can actually view them to your heart's content, without getting squeezed to death =)
