LZ Goes To Sweden For DreamHack Winter 2009!



LZ exceeded all expectations on them after booking themselves a slot in Dreamhack Winter 2009 after they won DreamHack Malaysia CS 1.6 Grand Finals which was held at 1 Utama Shopping Centre yesterday.

They achieved their lifetime dream after beating RV in de_dust2 with the score of 16-14. LZ leads the first round with the score 8-7. They almost got the ticket in their hand after leading 14-9, but the series of errors causing the scores become 14-14.

However, LZ's captain, Gavin making a marvellous comeback, leading his team after three consecutive kills and bringing the score to 15-14. He once again crushed RV's hopes for another rematch after sealing the match with the score of 16-14, ultimately booking themselves a place to play against the likes of Fnatic and SK Gaming at DreamHack Winter 2009.




On top of that, they also monopolized the Go.ESC Open Tournament, cashing themselves RM1500, beating 8075 in the finals. Kampung Gaming gets 3rd and Bandar Gaming sealed the 4th placing.

While in Trackmania, Strifemare exceeded the expectations as the favourite to win the championship after beating YeaHan85 in a close shave battle to win himself a Razer Lycosa. YeaHan85 went on to be the runner-up and TPK gets 3rd after his dismal performance shattered his hopes for another upset after knocking out Chapree and mootsumi in the semi-finals.



In spite of the joy for witnessing LZ representing Team Malaysia for DreamHack Winter 2009, CS scene suffered a shock when Jasmine Low announced that it would be LZ's last year in competitive gaming. If what she said is true, that signal the end of the golden era of Counter Strike since the highest point when the feud between LZ and Hybrid were so intense until they dominated Malaysia's Counter Strike scene.

Pictures would be up very soon. So, stay tuned!
