CYBERFUSION 09: FAQ

If you guys were wondering and were cracking your head to find the answers of all your questions, well search no more as we have compile to you the most frequently ask question by the gamers. We have set out a list of FAQ which most of you guys have been asking around, even those not so intelligence answer too. We have taken the initiative to ask the organizer themselves and here it goes:



1. What Is A LAN Party?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_party


2. Can I Join The LAN Party And Tournament At The Same Time?


No because both are separate events and we fear that it might affect your health. We know that its fun to join many activities but it wont be good to those who are serious. Imagine someone who join the tournament and after it ends have to join the LAN party,with no sleep and no rest, continue back tomorrow to play his game. We dont want someone who havent sleep for 24 hrs to play during the grand final of the tournament do we?


3. Can I Bring My Laptop For The LAN Party?


Yes



4. Do I Have To Bring My CPU For The Tournament?


No, we do provide CPU for the tournament but not the LAN Party. Remember the tournament and LAN Party is 2 separate events.


5. What Else Do I Need To Bring Beside My CPU/Laptop?


We will provide the monitor but you have to bring your own keyboard,mouse,speaker and wiring power cables. You can even bring your own chair,pillow,doll,troll,blanket,jacket,sleeping bag and etc etc. Anything you like to bring just bring. You can even decorate your station and make it as comfortable as you please. We might even have mini events for the best decorated station.


6. What Games Do We Have To Play During The LAN Party?


You can play any game you want, be it single player game or multi player game. It doesnt matter what game you want to play, as long its a game. You can even play bejewelled or solitaire if you want too. Its still a game.

7. How many people can register for the LAN Party?


There is no limit but there is a catch; the 1st 250 gamers who register for the LAN Party will receive cool, i mean supa dupa cool goodie bags once you've broken the record. So if there is 300 people registered, im sorry to say only the 1st 250 people registered will receive the goodie bag. Everyone will receive a certificate prove that you've broken the record. So hurry up and be in the lucky 250!


However if let say the 8th person who register was disqualified for some unwanted issues, the 251th person who register will receive his goodie bag. But still i believe Malaysian are strong rite... so register now before its too late!


8. What if im not using original OS/'ehem' version games?


Cyberfusion 09 support all original OS and games. Other than that, its your own responsibility.

But if you want to get the support from the important names in the industry, "Gunakanlah Barang Yang Original. "


9. Will food/drinks provided?


Yup foods/drinks provided during the whole course of the LAN Party. We also have medical teams just in case you need some help.



10. Do i need to bring truth brush,extra clothes, etc etc?


You will be there 38 hrs. Bring anything that you feel can keep you awake till then.



11. Do i have to be in the LAN Party area the whole 38 hrs?


Not necessarily. Every gamers have at least 5 min break for every 1 hour. So in compilation each gamer have 4 hours for his time off. So use it wisely as time is precious here.

Plus you dont have to actually stay at your station the whole 38 hrs. You can go around, look at your friends pcs, hang out,chit chat and have fun! Remember its a PARTAYYY~

Though 100 gamers must be in the LAN Party area through out the whole event. So be cautious.


12. What time does the registration start?


The registration start at 3pm until 9pm. So you can still come after you've finish your work. Dinner will also be provided after 9pm so no worries. The record attempt will start at 11pm.


13. Can i torrent/heavy download?


How do you feel when your COD 4 or Sudden Attack lag and hang... and you died? Of course no! Light download is still ok but please, you come to play or to download? Geez...


14. Can i reserve slots?


We will start the registration soon through online and selected premises. You dont have to reserve anymore just go ahead and register. Remember, 1st come 1st serve basis!

Updated: You guys can actually register here



15. What happen if we fail to break the record?


Then Malaysia has proven that they have fail in any international event, not to mention will give negative feedback to sponsors and public across the world. Mark my word, if Malaysia fail, you can say bye bye to the gaming industry. No more pro-gamers, no more si_jali, no more Forza, no more Kingsurf... no more...




So i guess thats all for now. I believe we have covered all FAQ including those nonsense brainless question. Talking bout common sense...


LOL anyway we still have our final message about Cyberfusion. We believe that Cyberfusion is THE EVENT that can change the entire perspective about gaming in Malaysia. Why? For years gaming has always been linked to private sector/companies but this time, for the 1st time a gaming event is being organized by a collaboration of GOVERNMENT & PRIVATE SECTORS through Cyberview SDN BHD, AMD and MMU supported by MDEC.


If you have... that one chance.. one opportunity.. to prove that.. we all matters.. will you take it?

I will be there.. we will be there.. but what about you?

Do You Know!!??

Sorry readers, for the delay. Busy for these few days.

If there are school kids reading this, happy holidays to you!

For the Do You Know this week....

We are having something quite interesting.

It is something like WCG(in fact it is WCG)....

So,

Do...

You...

Know that???

WCG Asia was first held in Singapore in 2006, a year after they host WCG International 05. It was a 2nd version of a regional base tournament after WCG Euro. Singapore was also the host for WCG Asia 07 and WCG Asia 08. Will they be the host again this year?

It was also the year that Malaysia for the 1st time brought back a Gold Medal for WCG Asia. It was taken by Si_Jali in FIFA 06! Si_Jali was the hot favourite to bring back the gold medal after this amazing achievement in the previous WCG International 2005, getting 4th in the world.


So now you know!

That is all for now!

See you guys next time!

UTP ESC 09: Gamers Forum

On Sunday 8th of March 2009, i was invited for UTP ESC 09 Gamers Forum to talk about gaming in terms of a pro-gamers view. It was a really happening forum i have to say due to the fact that there were 3 different speakers present to give their views in gaming. From the student view we have Mr. Khairul Ridhwan Project Manager of ESC 09 and from an academician view Dr. Mohd Fadzil Bin Hassan(BSc, MSc, PhD) Senior Lecturer Of Computer and Information Sciences Department. The crowd consist of students,gamers and even school students accompany by their teachers. I was inform that they was actually the one who call up to ask if they could participate in the forum as well.

They had recorded video of the forum but unfortunately due to some technical problem some of the video files is missing. Therefore i've taken the initiative to summarize the discussion and debates during the forum.


The forum format consist of 3 rounds which the host will ask 1 question in each round to be discuss. A set time of 20 min was given for each round. In between the round there will be a few min break as well as Q&A session from the crowd.

So without further due, here are the questions that was directed to me during the forum:


1st Round

Host: There are a lot of cases that students neglect their studies because of gaming. How do you perceive gaming activities among student? Is it a positive or negative? Could you give more examples on that?

Rinie: I would say both. First of all we need to know why do the student play games? How do they perceive gaming as? Do they play for casual or play to be a pro? If they are playing to be a pro then there are more positive than negatives. For example, most people thought that those who play games neglect their studies. But do you know that almost all the best pro-gamers in the world are college and university students? It shows that if you wanna be the best, if you wanna be a pro-gamer, you gotta be smart. You cant be good in what you're doing if your not smart. All the best pro-gamer in the world are smart intelligent people. So kids if you wanna be a pro- gamer, if you wanna be the best, stay at school!

Crowd: Play games suppose to reduce stress. But losing will also make you stress. What do you think?

Rinie: We all like to win. Nobody like to lose. As the Malay saying goes "Menang kalah adat permainan". But do you know that losing or failure is the 1st step to success? You got to lost to learn how to be better. When you had learn your mistake you will be better and stronger in the future. Even i myself have to face a lot obstacles to be where i am now because success takes time. So everytime you lose, tell yourself this "Im 1 step closer to success"!

2nd round

Host: What are the positive aspects of gaming that everyone should look for and bear in mind?

Rinie: There are plenty to be honest but i will state the benefit in terms of competitive gaming scene. The most obvious aspects would be your fluency in English. You will definitely need to use English to communicate with other gamers around the world even in Malaysia. Although i myself came from an English speaking family; my dad speak English while my mom speak Malay.. thats another reason why im not really close to my dad (LOL) but my English improve a lot because i participate in tournaments and play with gamers all across the world.

Second aspect will be your typing skills. Even while your still studying, you will notice that assignments and projects were done on Microsoft Words thus require good typing skills. Gamers easily develop this skills and can finish a 1000 words assignments in jst a few minute. Here gamers have extra advantage compare to those who are not familiar with computer.

Beside gaming act as relieving stress, it actually educate you to learn how to manage your time efficiently. Like my previous statement, pro-gamers have to balance between studies and gaming therefore they need to create a time table for their activities. When i was still studying, i have allocated in the day for studies and at night for gaming. You dont have to allocate that much, just 2 hours of good quality gaming will do. The key word here is quality and consistency, not quantity. And as you can see it works. Therefore there are just more reason why you should never quit school and should play games to be the best.

Crowd: What type of games help in terms of improving reaction? Maybe football games? Racing games? FPS?

Rinie: All the games helps in reaction. Ok when you use ur right hand to write, which brain did you use?

Crowd: Left!

Rinie: What about if your left handed?

Crowd: Right brain!

Rinie: Now if your playing game, which brain did you use?

Crowd: Both!


3rd Round


Host: In a broader sense, what is your opinion on the prospects of gaming career?

Rinie: Ok this time i will be realistic. Usually gaming clan in Malaysia get paid RM4000 per month but this is divided accordingly to each members. So we can safely say that RM800 was given to each member of a clan consist of 5 members. But they still earn a bonus from tournament prizes thus we can estimate their earnings around RM1500-RM2000. This depends on how many tournament they won. As you can see its not that much but efforts has been made to improve our local scene. We are not there yet but we are going there. Its coming. I predict in 5-6 years things will change.

However, this shouldnt stop you from pursuing your dream. Gamers in Malaysia must be creative in finding sources of income, and there are plenty available here in Malaysia. Myself for example had expand from being a pro-gamer into having a partnership in a cybercafe. Not to mention have my own company Rinie ICT Solution which provide consultancy and reseller about TM and Celcom products. And im also one of the founder of Spotgamers which emphasize to give exposure to gamers in Malaysia. Currently im giving out tuition and classes teaching FIFA. I charge only RM50/person for the time being just to test out the effectiveness of the class. Its not that much but wait till it works!

So as you can see, there are tons of opportunities gamers in Malaysia can explore. If you really love gaming, doesnt mean you have to be a pro-gamer. You can also be a journalist in gaming like our friend Marcus Ho (MYM, Gameaxis Singapore) and he is still 21! You can operate your own cybercafe and organize your own tournament. You can even be marshalls and pro-marhsalls are in demand and in need in almost all tournaments. There are just plenty and all are in demand. Just we lack the supply at the moment. But believe me, things are changing and will come.


Crowd: What are the obstacles that you had face to be a pro-gamer?

Rinie: There are plenty. The most obvious one and everyone had to face is from your family. I am glad to have my mom because she was very supportive even in the beginning. But my dad was not. He will always say "Study 1st, Play later" but i will say "Play 1st, Study Later" (LOL). But the worst part was that my father pass away 1 month before i join my first tournament in 2003 which is WCG 2003. It was really sad but that gives me more reason why i want to join tournament. Because i want to prove to him, to everyone that i can be the best, that i can be no.1 in the world. And with that spirit i bring into every tournament. If others they usually target for just get through 1st round or quarter final or anything. But my target was always to be the champion. Nothing less. Like my uncle use to say "Whatever your going to do, make sure you be the best!".

Friends were not really supportive as well in the beginning because most of my friends are those who are really academic base. Once i was surrounded by 10 of my friends confronting me and telling me that my decision to be a pro-gamer is a waste of time. So obviously i dont really care what they think but i understand their concern. But now they have saw how succesful i've been and they have supported me since then. In this world its all about proving your worth. Everyone face obstacles but those who never give up will strive to be on top.

And of course i've face losses to in tournaments. Success doesnt just come easily like that. It takes time. It may look easy but its not. But whatever happens never give up. It jst a phase, a test to see if your worthy to be call the best. As always, failure is the 1st step to success. Always remember that.


Thus the last question marks the end of the forum. We are still waiting for the Gamers Forum Video to be release and hopefully they manage to find all the missing files.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank University Teknologi Petronas Electronic Sport Championship committee who had invited me to the forum. I believe that UTP ESC effort to give exposure to the gaming scene thru conducting forum will be the 1st step in revolutionize the gaming scene in Malaysia. And not forgetting appreciation for your kindness in "layan-ing" me during my stay there. Hopefully we will meet again next time.

Till then, Majulah E-Sukan Untuk Negara!

UTP Electronic Sports Championship 2009

After a long wait, finally the first ever UTP Electronic Sports Championship came to reality last week, when Syntech Organization of UTP have successfully organized this e-sports competition which was held in UTP Multi Purpose Hall.

Despite of the clashing schedule with MMU E-Sports tournament, this does not deter a number of participants to join the tournament, especially some professional teams who are making their way from Kuala Lumpur to join this inaugural event.

About 300 gamers, which consist of 32 teams for DotA, 16 teams for Counter Strike 1.6 and 64 individual players for Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 battle it out to determine the first ever champion of UTP Electronic Sports Championship.

Despite the numbers of minor glitches such as blackout and other problems, the competition still goes on with a lot of exciting moments, especially when clans from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS test out their skills against the professional teams. The professional teams seems to have psychological disadvantage with the strong crowd support showed by UTP students.

Counter Strike 1.6

After a lot of exciting and breath-stopping competition, Quas Gaming reigned as the first champion of Counter Strike after beating their sister team, Quas.DWTD. SK.tf who lost to Quas.DWTD placed third after beating UTP team, ReUnite.

1. Quas Gaming

2. Quas.DWTD

3. SK.tf

4. ReUnite (UTP)

Defense of the Ancients

While in DoTA, x2.Net denies HaNG's hope to become the champion in their own soil after proving that x2.Net is too much for HaNG. As for x|ao-inc, who lost in the semi-finals against x2.Net, they got the 3rd place after beating Pundits.

1. x2.Net

2. HaNG (UTP)

3. x|ao-inc

4. Pundits

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009

In PES 2009, a shocking result when one of UTP pro gamer, TPK was being eliminated from Top 32 by an unknown UTP student after a exciting and tough match up. TPK makes a comeback after trailing 3-1, only to be disappointed with the last minute goal with the result of 3-4.

Khairil Hasrul becomes the king of PES 2009 after beating Amir in a very exciting match. Razif

gains third after beating Muhammad Salim Hakimi who come all the way from MIMET-UniKL. 

1. Khairi Hasrul

2. Amir Abd Rasid

The prizes and certificates were being given away to the winners by a senior lecturer from Computer and Information Sciences of UTP, Dr. Mohammad Fadzil Hassan. In his speech, Dr. Fadzil ensures that CIS Department of UTP would give their full support for UTP ESC to be held again in the future.

That wraps up the coverage of UTP Electronic Sports Championship 2009. And the rumours are circulating that UTP ESC 2010 would be bigger and better as being said by their project manager, Muhammad Khairul Ridhwan. 

Aha, before that, here's some Nice Ahh! picture from me.

Cyber Fusion 09 Press Conference

Yesterday morning, Spotgamers were invited to join and witness the official launch of Cyber Fusion 09 at Cyberjaya Cyberview Lodge. I have to say that the scenery was stunning and i couldnt imagine that a beautiful resort exist in Cyberjaya. Its like a collaboration between technology and mother nature.


The press conference was held to officially announce Cyber Fusion 09 with the concept of One Nation Invitational. So what is Cyber Fusion? It consist of 3 parts:


1. A Guinness World Record Breaking Attempt For The Longest Running LAN Party in The World.

Currently the record was 36 hours with 203 participants. This time they are aiming for 38 hours with 250 participants. I think this should be "kacang putih laa" for all of Malaysian gamers eh?


2. MMU GDC Gamefest 09

With more than RM10k prizes to be won, expect gamers to participate in games such as Counterstrike 1.6, FIFA 09, DOTA and Call Of Duty 4. Though do note that those who join most probably would not be able to participate in the LAN party since both are separate event.


3. Digital Games Exhibition

Of course the spectators wont be left out during the event. There will be tons of games developer showing off their best games titles that they can offer. So you wont be bored when you're there.


Check out some of the pics below:

Preview: DOTA At MMU GDC E-Sport 09

By Underminer

Doing this without browsing the team list (there is none to encourage participation), 4 teams come to mind; UCPRO, DNA-SK, Irelax and Fishnet.



Betting against UCPRO and DNA-SK doing well is a no-brainer. Both teams has been carrying Malaysia’s torch in all European Online tournaments since Kingsurf duly retired from it after winning Asia’s first European online tournament (Farm4Fame #3) 2 weeks before SGNDT last year. While results are mixed, both teams managed to get in games against top players from Europe and America week in week out and come with it the vast experience at the top level.

The sacrifices made playing under 300 ping lag at late nights were evident from their dominant performances at Penang (DNA-SK) and Melaka (UCPRO) 2 weeks ago where both teams won their respective tournaments in convincing fashion beating the best the locals has to offer without breaking a sweat.

Irelax features the fan favourite, Flizardo and friends. With friend Achilles, they managed to clinch 2^nd place at the Melaka MMU tournament 2 weeks losing the final to UCPRO. Rumours has it, his friend list this time include Sakura, ESWC 2008 Silver Medal winner and Iceman, SMM KL 2008 winner. The inclusion of big names might mask the fact that it is still a scratch team which lack practice. However, to not reach at least the semi finals will certainly be a big disappointment for them.

Fishnet has been undergoing a few roster changes lately but the core of the team remains intact with the team generally maintains their participation at tournaments around the Klang Valley area after SGNDT. With the Freddy brothers in it producing a dazzling area of skills, it will be my best bet to fill in the last of my top 4 pick for this tournament.

All biasness aside, it is really hard to predict the winner out of 2 teams: DNA-SK and UCPRO. Both teams were formed at the aftermath of the “SMM Disaster” in which Kingsurf barely protected the country’s pride by clinching 4^th place and they have 3 Singaporeans in it! Teams that are lucky (or unlucky) enough to face them will certainly witness a dazzling display of 5v5 Dota of a standard not many teams out there (even internationally) would be able to withstand.

Based on available information, my predictions for the top 3 are:

1. DNA-SK
2. UCPRO
3. Irelax

We wish all the teams all the best and may the spirit be with you!

Interview with UTP ESC 09 PM Khairul Ridhwan

I manage to catch up with Khairul Ridhwan, the Project Manager of the upcoming UTP Electronic Sports Championship 09. I asked him a few questions and this is what he has to say.

Girls Prepare To Be Melt

1) This is the biggest tournament held by UTP, how do you feel about this?


Having said that we are handling the biggest ever gaming competition in UTP, for sure, me myself as the project manager is very proud to bring this dream comes true. All this while, UTP had never held a big gaming competition which involve outside participants and so on. We only organize a small gaming competition which is always categorized as a side event in other big UTP events such as UTP Convofair and so on. With the mission and dream to bring something new to UTP's calendar event throughout the year, I took the initiative to approach the UTP management in requesting them to grant the permission for me and my IT club; Syntech Organization to handle this first ever gaming competition which is UTP Electronic Sports Championship 2009 with the theme "Challenging The Limits"


2) What are your expectations from this tournament?


My expectations from this tournament is this event will be remembered by all students of UTP and will eventually be noted as an annual big event for UTP like their UTP convofair. On top of that, I want to make ESC as a platform for professional gamers to compete every year just like World Game Master Tournament and World Cyber Games. I want it to be a prestige gaming event like that in the future. The only difference ESC compared to WGT and WCG is that; the venue will be tentatively held in Universiti Teknologi Petronas every year.


3) How does the organizing team feel about this upcoming tournament? ( example : busy, tiring, stressed)


As being the first to organize these event, for sure; me and my team which consists of 100 committees have to face many obstacles from many parties. I; as the project manager at first have the difficulty to convince the UTP management to proceed with this event at first. On top of that, we have difficulty to attract main sponsors for gaming competition like Intel and AMD as they cant sponsor us as they have to lay down many of their workers due to global economic recessions. My sponsor team worked very hard to gain sponsors. At last, we are quite happy with all the amount of sponsors that we gain after full of hard work from last December until now. Here, I want to take this opportunity to express my heartiest gratitude to all my committee members which all of them really work hard to make my event come true and also not to forget my main sponsor for this ESC which is Computer War and Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia.


4) Simultaneously, MMU is running the same type of competition. Did you think of them as a rival?


No, me myself didn't consider them as a rival. UTP ESC actually targeting gamers around the northern region like Perak and so on to participate. There are many gamers at the northern region, however, they always didn't have the chance to join any professional gaming competition like WCG and WGT as they are very far from KL. So with ESC, they can join us easily as it is quite near for them to come.


5) Many gamers usually are located at the Klang Valley. Did the distance effect these gamers?


Yea, i really realise that. Actually the location of UTP is itself have bring so much obstacle for gamers to come here. Of course these will effect gamers that will come to UTP because of distance issue. However, we are smart to counter this distance issue. We offer very attractive prizes to attract them to come. At last we do have participants from KL to join our gaming tourney.


6) How do you feel to have Rinie to speak during that event =D ?


For having Jali in our event, it is really a dream come true for all of us here. We didn't expect him to come here at the first place because he might look down to our small event and he might arise the distance issue. However, we are really glad that he can come and we are happy as he agree to participate in a game forum during our event. For Jali, it will really be an honor for us to have a professional gamer like you to join our event. Jali, you are cool and supportive! =)

MYM Gains Back Their Warcarft 3 Team

I think most of you might have known but we've been quite busy with our daily stuff that we forgot about this.

MYM aka Meet Your Makers had decided to reopen their Warcraft 3 team. The management had contacted Manuel Schenkhuizen aka Grubby to be their team captain. However their team will consist of players who don't demand lots of money. The rest of the team is Happy, the 17 year old Russian Undead prodigy and Ciara, an ex-MYM europe member. The current team manager is currently none other than Singaporean and also Grubby's girlfriend, fiance' Cassandra Ng.

MYM is currently the leader in the WC3L which has a new format with a 2-0 win. Also don forget to catch the duo Grubby and Happy in the NGL One solo league.

Spotgamers wish MYM the best in all tournaments and in their management.
