For those western eSports fans who were willing to stay up until the small hours of the night to follow this years WCG they were rewarded by some of the most entertaining eSports matches in history. WCG 09 has its champions now and there were surprises in almost every game with twists and turns in each final, the last day was cheered on by a capacity crowd of 8,000 fans!
CounterStrike
Again (former MYM) - $35,000
Fnatic - $18,000
mTw - $10,000
Fnatic still werent able to take the one crown that has illuded them all these years, with cArns pending retirement time will tell whether this is it for the most successful team of the year. They dropped 6 map points against Again and then lost in the 4th overtime to concede map one, and after an amazing start on T side on train fell by the wayside despite some phenominal clutches from f0rest.
Warcraft 3
Infi - $14,000
Fly100% - $6,000
Lyn - $3000
This was the biggest game of the event for the locals and they cheered their favourites to glory. The atmosphere for the grand finals resembled that of a football match and was brought to life when eventual champion Infi, GG'd after just 3 minutes on map 1! He turned it around late in map 2 and kept Fly on the back foot to win 2-1 - the only two maps Fly dropped all tournament long.
Starcraft
Jaedong - $10,000
[ flag=kr] stOrk - $4,000
bisu - $2,000
Koreans hate white dudes!
Fifa
Kr0ne

amazing tournament tho. congrats to
When you load the BBC site are you upset that they put the football scores on the front page?
starcraft is harder to watch live than football, and if you know the result its just not as entertaining
i should probably be more careful
worth to watch the vod?
some stupid mistakes by him :)
I heard from reliable sources that Tosspot doesnt like you..
However yesterdays CS match on the stage took 4 hours and considering its all going on OGN live they kinda need to be accurate on their stage schedule, that and the fact all the fans were there for WC3 - It was unbelievable (jeff) the wc3 final was just ridiculous, not for the match which was good anyway but just that many people watching gaming, was crazy.
its their job to play the game
+expected at Jaedong.
kind of lame with all these sponsor related mobilegames and shit though, would've liked to see some fighting game there. SFIV or Tekken maybe. Trackmania is the #1 racing game, hopefully they will stick with that one for a long time.
