The draw for the remaining 2 games for WCG took place yesterday. And here is the draw for those eager to find out what happened.

Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne:






Starcraft: Broodwar




Just like FIFA, Malaysia will have 3 representatives for Starcraft and Warcraft. With 9 players heading to China, can we be confident at least 1 of them will bring a medal back?

For the Warcraft draw, Malaysia will have to do it the hard way, as all 3 representatives are drawn in groups of 5. Malaysia’s champ will be up against the legendary WC3 player Manuel "EG.Grubby" Schenkhuizen and South Korean Chang "SK.wHo" Du-Seop . While the other 2 Malaysian players will have to negotiate their way past German opposition, who seem to be traveling in great numbers to China as well.

As for Starcraft, all players are drawn into four groups. Malaysian Champ, Chan Kiat Hoe face German opposition (again), and will be up against the seeded Ukrainian and Gregory Fields. As for John Rambo, he will have to get past a Korean player. The 3rd representative, Tan Soon Hua will have a match up against another Korean player and will have to take on the seeded player from the host nation, Sha Jun Chun.

We wish all the competitive gamers the best of luck, and hopefully they can bring Malaysia’s first ever medal back from the World Cyber Games Grand Final. Let the games begin!
