Well, WCG (World Cyber Games) has just started today. I'm just wondering if anyone else on this forum cares besides me

?

I've heard of the World Cyber Games before. I know that there is a contigent from Malaysia, my country, participating in those events too.

Well Australia is pretty much finished

. China has a good chance of winning CS/W3 though

Haven't been following on this event for a long time as I wasn't interested in it. What I do know is that Malaysia have a Warcraft 3 team, a Counter-Strike team and a Starcraft team. So far, they're doing okay. Looks like I'll just wait for the final results as I don't have time to keep track of it.

Do they still play Halo in this?

I don't think so. I didn't see HALO among the list of games played at WCG. I have no idea why they didn't include HALO, considering that there are some console titles at that event as well, particularly games on the XBox 360.

Considering that they included Halo 2 last year it's a bit suprising they didn't this year. But, the less console games the better :P. How could you have a competition FPS with auto-aim -_-...

FPS on the consoles can be a pain, from what I've always heard. And yeah, I also wondered why WCG this year didn't include HALO 2. Most probably the organisers excluded it on purpose as they included XBox 360 titles and they must have chosen the XBox 360 as the medium for consoles, in my opinion.
