Heyya folks, welcome back to The Walkaround. Sorry for a very late post. This time, yours truly made his way to Kompleks Rakan Muda Puchong for the whole weekend for Rakan Muda E-gig 2009.
Here's an extract of what E-gig means from Rakan Muda E-gig 2009
Rakan Muda E-gig consist a multi-event which includes the first ever Cyber Games Tournament to be held by Rakan Muda. Just in case anybody wonder what E-GIG means, GIG stands for 'gatherings in group' as many of us have in mind that the term GIG normally used for rock concerts for underground music or indie bands, well literally it's something like that except for the letter E carries the 'Electronic' word. In short, E-GIG means Electronic Gatherings in Group.
The event is actually a continuity of the latest Lifestyle branding by Rakan Muda which is called 'Rakan Muda Remaja Siber', launched by our Ex First Lady, Tun Jeanne Abdullah on June 2008.
The event was launched by Puan Wasitah binti Haji Mohd Yusof, Deputy Director General, Rakan Muda Development Division. According to Puan Wasitah while having a light session, this is the first time Rakan Muda is organizing such an event and they are willing to give full support to youths are trying to improve the scene for the benefit of other youths.
During the event, there are Shuffle Competition, Breakdance competition, Live band performance and the main attraction, the Grand Finale of Defense of the Ancients (DotA), FIFA 09, Winning Eleven 2009 and Tekken 5.
We cut short the overview, so here's the full result of DotA, FIFA 09 and Winning Eleven 2009, courtesy of khairil_kaka, dharwin & [MyFeS.INC] aRr0y0s™

Overall, it was a brave attempt by Rakan Muda to organize such an event, given the limited experience and knowledge of the organizers about the rules and regulations of how the tournament is conducted.
However....
The organizers should review again the participation since there are a lot of walkovers, causing the organizers a big headache to scramble the whole format which causes a lot of confusion to other gamers. Furthermore, the tournament area was too close to the live band performance (Remember Youth'09?) which is quite distracting to the gamers.
As usual, the PROS, CONS and RATING from Spotgamers
PROS - A brave attempt by Rakan Muda and a good choice of diversing the types of games such as DotA, FIFA 09, Winning Eleven 2009. A massive turnup during the first day of the event, signalling that there's some hope for gaming scene in Malaysia
CONS - A lot of delays, participants went missing suddenly, walkovers occured, the format and rules was not standardized. Some DotA teams also complained that they have to wait for a day until their matches started.
RATING - 6/10. A inaugural event that has the potential to be improved in the future. Who knows Rakan Muda can organize a big-scale gaming event just like WCG Malaysia and Indie Youth Fest?
OK, cut the crap please, here are the piktors!
