World Cybergames 2007

On my way to Fitness First, this poster caught my attention.


It' s the World Cybergames (WCG) 2007 poster.

Mmmm. I wonder what this World Cybergames means.

From their website,

World Cy'-ber Games (noun)- A global tournament in which sport is conducted within the medium of cyberspace, also known as e-sports.

And I am glad to know that Philippines is part of this growing World Cybergames.

Parang Olympics ah!

There four game categories where you can compete: Counter-Strike, StarCraft: Broodwar, WarCraft: Frozen Throne, Need For Speed: Carbon

In the previous months competitions are held from different malls. In Metro Manila, the preliminary is over. And the finalist will compete for the national finals at SM The Block on July 13-15.

I believe you can still register for the regional preliminary. Just check this link for the venue and schedule.
