Witch Slayer goes Roar!

noreply@blogger.com (Quod admin) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:26:00 +0000

A new hero has been added to Heroes of Newerth, his name… Witch slayer. Witch Slayer is an intelligence hero that is based on Lion from DoTa, sorry to those of you who thought he might be more like sniper. Anyway this robust hero has 2 disables, a mana draining spell, and a single target oh my lord did he just take out half my health nuke.

An initiator, disabler, enabler and nuker, he is a serious contender in high level games. Famously played in allmost every lineup of the world’s best DoTa team, Ks.int (arguable).

Will Witch Slayer change the dynamics of Heroes of Newerth ? We think so.

WCG News-Which Group is the Group of Death?

noreply@blogger.com (Quod admin) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:07:00 +0000

This year, The WCG tried to separate favourites for each game into different groups, resulting in supposedly ‘fairer’ draws. This move is intended to prevent all the favourites of each game to be drawn together, which might result in early exits for the top players. While on the other hand, the seeding feature means each representative will have to play the best of the best and there is no such thing as an ‘easy group’.

Female gaming is very underestimated, as most guys out there think that girls can be beaten easily, they can't play, and the only thing that keeps them in the community are their breasts and 'trunks'. Is that true?

Let's go through this phenomenon together starting from the difference between both sexes in theory and practice. I will try to do my best in creating the most in-depth material about female gaming with the focus on Counter Strike 1.6 scene as it's the biggest and mainly watched platform for women gaming.

noreply@blogger.com (Quod admin) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:32:00 +0000

Another year, another new Winning Eleven. It is no difference to EA’s annual release of FIFA series but if you are keeping track, you would knew that Konami promised that the World Soccer: Winning Eleven 2010 is going back to its roots.

Among new things that fans that could expect in the latest Winning Eleven are the 360-degree control system together with 300 moves and 7 different fakes which should make the game more interesting than ever. Whether these new addition will be able to satisfy the fans…well, if we take PES 2010 first week sales in UK as indication, let’s just say that we believe the game has just got its groove back.

fnatic captain Kwom: MYM worthiest opponent

noreply@blogger.com (Quod admin) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:22:00 +0000

After defeating German nfinity in the semi final of the Farm4Fame playoff, fnatic will take on their ever adversary MeetYourMakers.

Previous encounters between the two show a very tight history, and the fnatic captain Edvin "Kwom" Börjesson sees MYM as the worthiest opponent right now.

- It feels pretty okay facing MYM in the final, it is the team that I think is the worthiest opponent right now, says Kwom but adds that he withdraws all the teams outside of Europe in his calculations since it's simply too hard to prove due to host abuse.

With numbers of big tournaments coming up, with SMM Grand Final and DreamHack soon on the horizon, Farm4Fame is not that big a deal for Kwom.
- I can only speak for myself, but I don't think it has such big importance compared to LAN and tournaments with a bigger prize purse.

East Malaysia E-Sports Web TO-BE-ANNOUNCED

noreply@blogger.com (Quod admin) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:55:00 +0000

East side Malaysia's gaming community has ever since slowly climbed up to a certain level estimated since year 2008. The teams and players of the top few active or either inactive had been known throughout the states belonging to the East's namely in game titles of "DotA" and also "Counter Strike 1.6". West Malaysia has always been a challenge to most of us residing in the East but the crucial moment has come to the fact that we are comparable in terms of skills and level as long the community's effort are brought forward.

So as I say, there will be rumored calls of an e-sports forum that may link the overall East Malaysia's gaming community to a much greater exposure around the whole Malaysia gaming scene. With the forum online, the official website would be implemented in due time having coverage of tournaments,records and the all-time players/contributors to the E-Sports in Malaysia thoroughly.

Details are yet to be confirmed. But I hope that professional gamers namely which has reached a certain capability to fight against the West Malaysia's level of gaming can join this upcoming forum and have very heat discussions of not just one RTS strategy games like DotA but also L4D , Call Of Duty 4 , Red Alert 3 , Killing Floor and so much more.

Hopefully further details may be posted and this is a very epic step in order to unite Sabah and Sarawakian gamers into a level where the West's gamers had to look up and be beckon with!

Neo and TaZ without a team - end of their career?

noreply@blogger.com (Quod admin) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:46:00 +0000

In late February, MeetYourMakers went bankrupt which left the finest Polish Counter-Strike team around Neo and Taz without a home. After some time, they managed to join the German organisation of WICKED eSports. A few months back, WICKED eSports decided to close their doors and shut down, and this left their Counter-Strike team again on the streets. Rumors were thrown about that they would rejoin their former organisation, MeetYourMakers, but this did not happen. Another rumor was that SK-Gaming would pick them up but this again did not happen. Things looked bleak for the two-time ESWC champions, but on September 25th it was confirmed that they have been signed by UK organisation Vitrolic.
