Ah, so it's postponed. I went there around 3pm just now and I thought the tournament's over.

Hmm. Sounds interesting. Where is his shop?
Is this just a coincidence, or did he edit the stats of his favorite team to his advantage or something?

Btw, I haven't heard of any other WE/PES tournament besides this one and the one that was hosted at Limkokwing last year.

I don't think he edits his favourite team's stats, coz he's not proficient in using his PC. He uses it just for basic stuffs like emailing, browsing forums, and such. He doesn't even have Winning Eleven installed on his PC.

E-sports World Cup (ESWC) 2004, the tournament where Mun Wai won and became Malaysia's representative at the ESWC finals in France, was the first tournament that really brought together the Malaysian community of WE/PES. Before that, Mun Wai did host a number of tournaments at his shop, but it was mainly for people who are living near his shop. It's not heavily promoted.

But after ESWC 2004, with Mun Wai's name becoming more popular and with people knowing there is a community of WE/PES players engaging in tournaments with prize money, new tournaments began to crop up. Among them are the Playworks tournaments in Sunway Pyramid, a Winning Eleven tournament held near the end of last year at Plaza Alam Sentral, Shah Alam, and Limkokwing's 6-Nations and Piala e-sukan tournaments.

Of course, Mun Wai's tournaments continued to be held on a regular basis. But unfortunately due to lack of support from the community (I don't know: maybe becoz they're bored seeing Mun Wai win his own tourneys over & over again, or becoz of people becoming busier every day), his tournaments are slowly becoming less popular. Even the most recent tournament that he planned to organise had to be cancelled due to lack of participants.

Well, that's basically a brief history about the WE/PES tournament environment in Malaysia. Anyone care to update more about it, please do.

You sure know a lot, thanks again.

More questions regarding the Playworks tournament.

1. What form (or arrows) will be used?
I've got a feeling that it's either green or red. It'd be nice if they set it to random.

2. When you score a goal, will the umpire allow you to view the replays?

1. The player form is set to Random.

2. Normally players don't want to watch the replays coz it'll just waste time. But I guess if you want to watch, it's ok. So far the umpires didn't say anything if players let the replays be viewed.

Thanks for everything man......btw who's the Winning Eleven top player in msia now.......can list some of the top players, at least i get to know them....

I only know 2: Effy and Mun Wai. The others, I don't really know.

How's today's competition..........any updates?

Who won?

How many participants?

I think 28 people joined. 10 people qualified, and we all broke up into 3 groups of 6 people, and 2 groups of 5 people. We played league matches for each group (but only 1 match every 2 opponents: not home & away like in real life leagues), and the top 2 people from each group qualified.

They took 10 people to qualify for finals because last weekend's matches were cancelled and all the participants were carried forward to play today.

I and Effy qualified. Mun Wai didn't join. Don't know why. But there are 2 more weekends of qualifying matches, so probably he'll join later.

So guys, come and join. See you guys in the finals!

GLad to hear that kind of news...
i would like to take part Winning ELeven Soccer games long time ago but i always missed chances to take part...cz i didnt get any news...but whenever i got that news when it was over...hah

well..i think this time i wont miss this kind of chances... hehe
thank you everything about this news...
thank you every much

How come so many ppl qualified ?

I tot there were only 4 ppl in the grand final?

No, the plan was, to take 4 people from EACH qualifying round. So, initially it should have been 4 x 4 = 16 people in the finals. But the 1st weekend of qualifying (4th Feb), only 3 people registered, so they cancelled that weekend's games and brought all the people registered on that date to 11th Feb.

By doing so, it would only be fair to increase the number of people qualifiying for the finals for 11th Feb to 8 people. But since there were a lot of players on 11th Feb (28 people), they had to divide them up into 5 groups, and the only way they could quickly get finalists from 11th Feb (they want to finish the games ASAP) is by taking the top 2 people from each group, and that is why 10 people qualified from 11th Feb.

Another reason is because they are afraid that the 18th and 25th Feb qualifying rounds would be cancelled due to a low turn-up of players, just like what had happened on 4th Feb. At least by taking 10 qualifiers from 11th Feb's round, they would still be able to continue playing the finals on 26th Feb using only those 10 qualifiers, if the rounds on 18th and 25th are cancelled.

But don't worry, make sure you guys just turn up in full force on 18th and 25th, and I'm sure they will never cancel the games. They will take a minimum of 4 players per qualifying round, but if too many registered, who knows, there might be a possibility they'll increase that amount further.

And by the way, the finals on 26th Feb will be played similarly like the qualifying rounds: divide everyone into groups, take the top 2 from each group to play in knockout rounds until the final match.

if can use keyboard, i will join .. hehe

Keyboard??? Dude, you're missing a lot of the nuances of the game la if you use keyboard... I suggest you practice playing the game using a gamepad, particularly a PS2 gamepad. Not only will it make you a better player, it will also allow you to participate in a lot of Winning Eleven competitions!

By the way, the tournament is a PS2 tournament, so you definitely cannot use a keyboard. Sorry.

i use to play with keyboard 1...so can i bring it there?

What for? The tournament is being held using PS2, not PC, so for sure you can't use your keyboard even if you were to bring it.

i have some question bout this tournament...

1.how do i register 4this tournament???is it b4 the tournament takes place or when the day of the tournament should i register???

plzz answer asap... coz i know i'm good playing this game...hehehe

Both also can. But better to register before the tournament date, just in case the tournament slots are already full...

How to register...?

Go Sunway and register ?

Yes, go to Sunway Pyramid to register. For more information, call the telephone number that I gave. Maybe you can negotiate with them to register online and you transfer money to them online, I don't know. Ask them.

But to make everything simple, just go there to register.

.... Watch Out Fellows ... FIFA 2005 4th fellow in going to play WINING ELEVEN at Sunway ...
