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.
