Title: what, no AH at this...
Post by: bigsky on October 07, 2004, 06:32:35 AM
The elite of the video gaming world have gathered in San Francisco to prove they are the best of the best.
 
The WCG is one of the biggest events in the gaming calendar
There is an old blues tune that calls this town Mean Old Frisco.

But, San Francisco's about to get a whole lot meaner over the next few days, as some 700 competitors battle for $400,000 in prize money here in the 4th annual World Cyber Games.

Team and individual competitions will kick off on Thursday, following an official opening ceremony on Wednesday evening in downtown San Francisco.

The event brings together gamers from more than 60 countries.

Cash money

They have come from as far away as Mongolia to compete in a number of PC-based games, including Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Unreal Tournament 2004, StarCraft: Broodwar, and WarCraft III: Frozen Throne.

In addition, two Xbox console games, Halo and Project Gotham Racing, will also be contested.

There will also be a sizable number of unofficial gamers here, as part of a Bring Your Own Computer tournament.

AH is not a "game", gamers don't like it , it's too hard to "play"
