hopes that this organizer really can help the malaysia qualifiers get VISA into US, if not GG!!

all can stay home watch replays of ESWC 2008 online

so the conclusion is..... ??? ESWC gonna held in malaysia or not ???? im blur now

and if there's dota hope there's war3 and other games

Waaa,no PES or FIFA.Huhu.

Malaysia Qualifiers only. Grand finals will be in USA.

Why they make it in USA this time? =.=|||

when will it be held? june?

Haven't heard of any details yet. Just keep on looking at this thread.


There's still time for Konami to actually respond to community demand for inclusion in ESWC.

Business decision, most probably.
