Not but a few moments ago, our Aussies over at the World Cyber Games in Los Angeles received their draws – and as you’d expect, with different levels of encouragement…
Team Immunity, who so often hold the torch for Australian Counter-Strike 1.6, appear to have drawn a decent group. The Americans could pose a problem, however arguably the tournament’s most dangerous teams, mYm, ATE, Brazil and SK are all on the other side of the bracket, giving Immunity a good chance to progress quite far.
Our FIFA 10 representative, however, hasn’t enjoyed the same luck. Dimitri Bescos has drawn last year’s Gold winner, German Joshua “Kr0ne” Begher. Anything can happen in FIFA however, so if Dimitri plays with a Spanish mentality, recent history might repeat itself.
The finals will be played out at the end of this month. Good luck lads!

Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 9:56 PMGood to see these kinds of posts. I don’t know that much about the competitive scene, especially concerning Aussies, so it’s cool to see how we are doing.

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 6:57 AMI agree completely with the ‘bad games’ comment.
Though, if you can kill someone, outscore someone or just do something faster then someone, it’s competitive.
You could have competitive Minecraft, people wouldn’t care/watch but you could still have a definitive winner and loser.
