Hmm...while WCG.my is more traditional compared to the grand looking WCG.sg, it's all come down to this lah - do you prefer all winners get to go to World Final or only selected winners?

Personally, I don't see the meaning of our WCG if got all official games but not even half of the winner get the free trip to Cologne because you blew it all on the event grandness. Also, WCG.sg was held together with Asian WCG and GXL. That's like three tournament in one single weekend. If WCG.sg stand on its own, I personally don't think it would be that grand. Also, try to take out DoTA from their event. I believe that could spell a backlash, w00t.

Compare to last year's WCG.my, there's still significant number of participants even without DoTA around. That basically showed that WCG.my can stand on its own and plus, all winners get to go for free (IF there was no visa problem). I guess it's just our gaming culture is still different from SG.

Truth to be told, Malaysia supposed to host this year's WCG Asian. Don't know what happen, but ICM passed it back to SG. Having an international gaming event ain't easy and cheap...might as well get the resources first and make it great rather than cut corner here and there, then the event suck. Maybe next year, who knows?

Hmmm...this is quite a good discussion compared to the usual why there's no this game, that game in WCG and stuff.

Before you can include Xbox 360 games in WCG.my, the console must be launched officially here. If you jumped the gun without official support from Microsoft Malaysia, things could backfire. WCG.my couldn't risk that for sure.

One has to remember that Microsoft also sponsor Windows license inside tournament PCs.

Hmmm...I don't really know how to explain this. Last year, GXL held it's event at WCG PC area and Microsoft Xbox 360 booth. Although there is Singtel GXL booth, but that booth focus more on mobile phones and Singtel services. So I guess, pple still thought everything was about WCG.sg/Asian WCG.

GXL does benefit from the venue such as good stream of visitors and equipments. But I don't think they get much as far as branding goes. Gamers might knew it but general public wouldn't see it much.

Hehehe, Multiplay is a gaming site, that's why it has updates all year round. WCG.my site is an event site, so if there's no update from the event, no reason for them to update. Same goes to all WCG site around the world.

I share your view about shoutcasters. It definitely give some spectator value there. Same goes to MC. We need somebody like GGL's Djwheat which is to me, a superb shoutcaster at WCG.usa.

In terms of apparel, in 2005 (or is it 2004) WCG.my did sell some t-shirt. These t-shirt is different from the one that the finalist received. I don't know why they stop selling them. Lack of response maybe? They should start selling them again.
