Heyya guys, Spotgamers team are in Mid Valley last week for Games & Gadgets exhibition. The exhibition was being organized for the first time by Knowledge Group of Companies.
Among the gaming companies that participated in this exhibition are Replay Interactive, e-Club Malaysia, eFactory (myRosso and Jin Online), Digital Durian and MSC Malaysia. Do we miss anything?
Oh yes! Sony themselves made their first appearance in any gaming exhibition since the launch of Playstation 3 in Malaysia as their booth provides free play for PS3 games such as Fallout 3, Ridge Racer 7, Rock Band, Street Fighter 4 and Trash Box (a new version of Tetris. Lulz
At the back side of the gaming section, e-Club Malaysia are very generous to hold tournaments such as CS 1.6 Amateur Cup and Team Fortress 2 qualifier for WCG Singapore Open Category.
For CS 1.6 Amateur Cup, QUAS reigns as the champion by beating Underdogz to net themselves RM1500 and RM1000 for the latter. TYT takes the third place and AFH took the fourth place. A nice start for the amateur to send a signal to the pros that the amateurs are ready to rock
For TF2 WCG Qualifier, it can be considered the cruelest tournament as it's Winner Takes All tournament. Playing in double-elimination format, Anomaly bounce back from the loser bracket by dragging I:Pr to another match up for the winner spot. After a long battle, Anamoly grabs the free ticket to Singapore to compete in WCG Singapore Open Category which is fully sponsored by eClub Malaysia. Well done!
On the console mode, Sony is having a marathon Street Fighter 4 tournament, which is almost similar to the Soul Calibur IV 24 hours marathon. Not forgetting, the Rock Band tournament was being organized for the first time ever, where it's a battle between PS3 enthusiast and gaming journalist. After a exciting strumming, jumping and some off key singing, Keith was announced as the winner, bringing PS3 as his prize back home. Game Axis' Fat Cat Lim is the runner up, getting himself a PSP as his reward (which he traded for PS3 in the end. Lulz). Not forgetting, Multiplay's Chapree get his prize for Best Costume and our own TPK was being declared as Best Performer with his crazy jumping gig.
Overall, this is a good kick start for Knowledge Group of Companies to expose gamers and the public crowd to the gaming scene on what's in and what's hot. However, there are concerns that gadgets booth dominated much of the place allocated for gaming site.
More about the tournament, Kudos to one.two and eXBomB who are actually from the COD4 community for making a try to compete in TF2. What a encouraging move by their community. Oh now, where's our Orange Box? Lulz. Not forgetting that during the TF2 Finals, each finalist have one girl representing their respective teams, one is Myuu from i:Pr and Deprise (correct us if we're wrong) from Anomaly. Also, Underdogs who were runner-up have a gamer girl in their team as well. Could be a sign that girls go game? :P
Sony has also garnered a good interest for organizing PS3 tournaments and opening up console stations for visitors to test out the PS3 by themselves. So Microsoft, Sony has made their move, how about you guys? :P
Enough with the rants. We would upload the pictures soon enough. Stay tuned.
Anyway, where would our Gaming Walkaround will go next week? Keep yourself updated from time to time with Spotgamers - Eyes on Gamers. Cheers! xD

"More about the tournament, Kudos to one.two and eXBomB who are actually [ESP] from COD4 for making a try to compete in TF2. What a encouraging move by their community."
Rinie, would just like to clarify that the two teams are not ESP. Both teams consisted of members from the COD4 Community from various clans.
one.two had reps from 5 different cod4 clans, exbomb had reps from 3 different clans. There were overall only 3 actual ESP members throughout the 2 teams.
These two teams is just a group of friends which we have made thru our involvement with COD4 and its community. TF2 is a game we all play casually.
Also, i would like to give e-club two giant thumb-ups for their effort in vigorously promoting their games, almost 80% of us who joined attained our copies of TF2/OrangeBox directly or indirectly from their efforts at CyberFusion 09 promoting OrangeBox. Kudos to them!
p.s: The COD4 community will know me as NiGHt, i was part of eXBomB team which participated for TF2. The whole event (GnG) in a whole was a fun event. More in the future pl0x! :)
Orait thx for the info ^^
