Team Hybrid did not participate in this Championship Gaming Series national picks. I am pleased to say that Hybrid opted to leave out this event to stick with the game that were better at which is Counter Strike 1.6. We will be preparing ourselves for the upcoming Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) Qualifier and the World Cyber Games (WCG) Qualifier too. We hope we will be able to clinched both as Malaysia champions and then go on to hopefully better our results internationally at these respective events.

Thanks for your support. For more information please look through our website as announcements are made at www.teamhybrid.com.my

I would like to wish congratulations to the people that were picked as contenders to be drafted.

I am pretty sure that Bun will make the right choices to bring glory to KL Taufan.

The team that I wish to see drafted is :-

FMJ / TitaNs

[W|nDs]Si_Jali

redbull_y2k / [r0r1]m00tsumi

Terence - Tetra

Eileen - Mystique


With these picks, the team may have a chance at the Pan Asian Combine, Good luck.

That is the latest news from the Singapore Sword website. As far as I know there are some members of TitaNs which are in the army in Singapore, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not sure about Tetra. This means that it is more likely that TitaNs will be picked under KL Taufan.

Yeah they took out the National Service from the requirements, not sure what was that for.
