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

Business decision, most probably.

That game not even finished yet. So, wtf?

What do you expect from some one that types l1k3 7h15 ?

Heh.

No suprise if they fool us all, just like in WCG last year, CNC3 not even released yet but the game is to be lined up 4 the competition .............So........

This post has been edited by n0v4m4r1n3: Mar 3 2008, 12:13 AM

.........
cnc3 was released before april 07, which is the released date for the official rules and regulations for WCG for last year
starcraft II is rumored to be released Q3 of 2008 and ESWC finals 08 is on 25th-27th august 08

so wadafak joo talking?

This post has been edited by gM | Mutsumi-san: Mar 3 2008, 12:53 AM

Hmm...ok la, like this...
I think you are mistaken somewhere...

Starcraft is popular in Korea.
WCG came from Korea.

Starcraft was never in ESWC lineup. Ever.
ESWC came from France.

Can you see the pattern now?

Ok I understand what you mean......

Maybe i've misjudged on that one, but hey no offense

Sowwyyyyyy then...........................

No worries, I'm talking to KONAMI already. Keep your finger crossed.

ahaha nice~!! =D

dont listen to nles... he chhui sui alot only...

Zenith Ice from Singapore join Kingsurf, can he take part in malaysia ESWC qualifier and ESWC nationals ?

IIRC, he should be able to participate. as long as the majority of the team's players are malaysians (4MY & 1SG,3MY & 2SG, 2MY,1SG,1PH & 1CN). or maybe they changed the nationality rules.

Yes, as long as the majority of the team's player are Malaysians.

Majority as in you must have at least 3 players with Malaysia Nationality then you'll be able to participate in the event and get a chance to represent Malaysia to the States


P/S eh Dk sei F**k face, come ttly only. Say want retire don't later see you in tournament again haha.

where the hell is cs:s??????????

Sorry bout CS:S, anyway for CS:S you got CGS this weekend.

Where as DotA players come to ESWC xD

lol, will be funny if the DotA winners wont be able to obtain a visa. Haha, i'll die laughing.

Well, the percentage is high. VERY high.

stain DIE then you're still in Malaysia meh. Disturb only, cant sell ur shirts ar, I sold mine already lo

any trackmania nations player here?

Yea, more trackmania players please. I know some of them already started training for ESWC.

Everyone can start training right now, who knows you might be the one that will represent Malaysia.

It's a free game, can download it at
http://www.trackmanianations.com/indexUk.php

Look out for ESWC news, don't get shock by it xD

still havent announced the dates ah..

well if u guys wanna start practicing
then go download the april/may track pack
its most likely that these tracks will be used during msia qualifiers
heres the download list: ftp://files.eswc.com/regulations/2008/pre...il_may_pack.zip

Nah, im outstation studying in Bath, United Kingdom. I havent touched any other game apart from playing some DotA on lan with my room-mates, there's nothing else to do and no other game to play.

I am very very sure that if ESWC Malaysia organisers do not provide strong documents for our fellow Malaysian DotA team it would be almost impossible to have the chance to represent the country in the event.

It would also be very dissappointing, thats because if i'm not wrong Kingsurf is not far away from the elite teams around the world. And they look under good circumstances to take this title. I dont know them but I wish them the best of luck.

As for Counterstrike, As a member of Team Hybrid I am feeling very very confident that we can clinch another national title and represent Malaysia one more time. If we do eventually win the event, we wont have any visa problems as 4/6 members in the current active roster have a 10 year visa with multiple entries.

Would like to see Malaysia do well at this years ESWC

Kudos to all.

PS : If im not wrong most likely endless will be the head marshall again yea? Good luck to you mate, you've always been a great marshall and probably one of the best in Malaysia if not the best. Will be tight between you and Douglas.

Haha, we like to keep things mysterious xD. Make sure you train don't let others get you unprepared.


Stain: I'm aware of the VISA problem and I never forgotten abit about it. We are using a different approach to apply for the VISA, furthermore not only 1 solution. Already prepared a few solution to handle this case.

As for counter-strike, confident bout clinching another national title doesn't really justify us. The one you guys should be aiming is World ranking.

Com'on don't let me end my marshall life with dissapoinment, bring us some results.

malaysian cs scene is deteriorating.. there arent any upcoming talents and the skill gap is too big and its going lower.. even amongst the top 3 teams.

no-one can touch hybrid. thats good for them, but if you look at it as a whole, its bad for our community..

Must think of a scheme to increase amateur cs player standard xD

more tournies =D

more tourney doesn't help much I think, most important the teams need to constantly look for friendly match. At least once a week, 4 maps.

Which team does that? If you're not that good, you must take 3-4 times more effort to make yourself better. Don't think you're those experienced team that can just train 1 month before tournament.

you're right about that.

but usually these teams only will show up and train for tournaments. the tournaments are what keeps them playing. some wont train if there isnt any tournaments around, i mean to them why bother training if they're not gonna get to compete much.

it's because fmj cafe is gone

I am glad to see many people replying to this thread related to my earlier reply.

As far as I can see I can only say that I am confident that my team can pick up another National title this is because the team at this point probably cant get anything close to matching what the international scene has.

In terms of skill, yes I do believe we have it, After the last 2 international appearances I noticed that the many teams that people look up to do not have godly aim and that our aim certainly matches theirs. But one thing I do notice is :-

1) The players overseas are real professionals where they have a place to train and talk out strategies.
2) They spend more time on the game compared to us, they are able to do this cause they are professionals and we have priorities to look at namely studies, family .. etc.
3) They are being paid and are getting strong backing for doing what they are doing.

Another thing I would like to address is that the many upcoming games such as DotA is killing the Counterstrike scene. This is because many players such as former Counterstrike star XeqtR has taken up DotA and I think that probably Counterstrike is getting too old.

As far for upcoming talents. I believe we have that. One good example is probably Team XsM who some of the members were on the same team as me at the Piala E-Sukan which was for the gamers that didnt represent theyre country at the 6 nations. At that point I wasnt on the active roster for Team Hybrid. With that in mind, I am surprised to see how fast we have progressed, look what standing XsM finished at the World Cyber Games 2007, they even managed to topple FMJ who were champions for many years in a row till 2006.

I think the main problem here is that we aren't professional and we cant be compared with the international scene. The only thing can be done is to do our very best and may the team representing our country this year do so and hope for the best for Malaysia.

Peace out

clap clap but it was luck.

why isnt quake3 in yet

I will join TMN if no PES.^^

Most probably there's PES, but you're not going to San Jose definitely cause it's not the official title.

Can give me the tracks for ESWC TMN?I wanna practice lor.TQ^^

ftp://files.eswc.com/regulations/2008/pre...il_may_pack.zip

these tracks will only last until the end of may
if ESWC msia happens in june/july
then practising these tracks will be useless
well its always a headstart to practise now though

ITS USELESS NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE TRAIN WE CAN NEVER WIN THE EUROPEAN ! they are so superior

where to put the file ahh?Im abit noob at this part.
