WCG Day 1!

And of course, being the gamer that I am, everything along the lines of homework and school were ignored. Then again… what’s new?

So, me and my friends decided to go there together and after an irritatingly long ride on the MRT (yess, this is what happens when you’re spoilt by private transport), we reached (duh? =__=). Well, obviously it was much smaller-scale that last year’s WCG Grand Finals, but well, it was still quite fun! But unfortunately, all the lucky draws were missing… =(

And by the time we decided to join the 5v5 Quake 4 tournament organised by Intel, the registration slots were full for the day =___= So we decided to sign up in advance for the 5v5 Quake 4 tournament on Saturday, and we’re also planning to do the same for the 6v6 Counter Strike tournament. Maybe it’s just me, but somehow I’ve got this feeling that the prizes gonna suck compared to the previous year. Bleh.

And also, we caught the Warcraft III: Frozen Throne tournament on the big projector screen onstage! Well, I don’t think it’s right for me to irrelevantly flame DotA now, so I’m just gonna say that the Warcraft III (not DotA pls) players are downright sick. The top Singapore players click their mouse and use hotkeys something like 120 times a min, or in WC3 terms, 120 apm (actions per min). And the last I heard, the world top players have something like 200 apm. That’s 200 button presses on your keyboard and mouse in a minute throughout the game =___= And their reflexes were so damn sick that their mouse cursor simply flies flawlessly around the screen, and you can’t really see it. As I said, sick people.

Gonna have to train my Quake 4 for this saturday! Weeeeeee….! =)
