A tough WCG battle

It was three days of high and lows, but everyone who walked out of SAFRA Game Haven at the end of it was all smiles for one reason - the excitement of playing virtual games.

See... Even the officer is SMILING WIDE

And that's all thanks to the World Cyber Games (WCG)! Over last weekend, competitor gamers (and not) gathered at Game Haven to fight for their place at the WCG National Finals 2009, which will take place from Jul 3 - 5 at Suntec City Convention Hall. But only the highly-deserving teams came out as champs to be seeded into the National Finals. Here are the results!

But it certainly wasn't an easy win for all of them. There were times when spectators were literally on the edge of their seats...

"Just keep it steady..."

"Do you think I can copy him to win the game?"

"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

Even young contenders gave a tough fight!

Spectators were happy to have watched three days of exciting matches, although they had to do so at Level 1, where two screens broadcasted the game live.

The next seed competition will be held at Funan IT Mall over this weekend from Jun 12 - 14. Try your skills (and luck) to save a spot at the National Finals, so that you can compete to represent Singapore at the WCG Grand Finals at Chengdu, China!
