WC3L Season XIV Update
(2) Comments
Posted by on October 2nd, 2008
Warcraft’s most prestigious league, the WC3L, is heading towards the end of its current season. With a total of 11 playdays*, playday 10 is set to commence today with WE squaring off against SK.
When the season started, anyone could tell that by the end MYM, mTw, SK, fnatic and WE would be leading the pack. Infact, the competition between these 5 teams is so tight that only 3 points currently separate 1st place (MYM) from the 5th (mTw).

In his own ‘Space’ he won the AWL 3 Final!
Posted by on March 24th, 2008
Professional Gaming is not only considered a great test of mental abilities but also a test of the physical limits one can push with their mind and body. Fnatic.Space is one such Korean WarCraft 3 player who has a disease that has left him crippled, and has only a few years to live. He is 13 years old, and can only use a few fingers, his head, and his wrist to move any body part. He is clinically disabled.
Yet that is not something that is stopping him from playing against the toughest opponents and giving them a hard time. Trust me, this is no exaggeration just for a cause, but the truth. Fnatic.Space, as seen below is in a miserable state of physique that the rest of us take for granted.
I consider him to be the best (there is), considering the condition he plays in.
Winning numerous point for his teams in offline and online clanwars, he is by far the best player in his team. We wish Space all the best for his future gaming career, and may he be able to tell the world that he IS the best!
SK.Lyn however ended up winning the AWL 3 Final.
PPL WarCraft 3 Race Wars Begins Today!
Posted by on March 24th, 2008
In about a few hours time, PPL, an online streaming company will be broadcasting their WarCraft 3’s Race Wars. The concept is simple, there are four races in the game. Each race has four players who have Hero (Captain) player. All players go head to head with each other and in the end the Heroes play each other. This happens for all the races till we have a few winners, and then the finals. Details of this can be found here.
Today, the Nightelf Sentinels play the Undead Scourge. The match data can be found on the GosuGamers.net website. Wait a few minutes till I post a guide on how to watch the Race Wars, after I figure it out myself. Till then, gg!
Giants Fall: SK and MYM Defeated
Posted by on March 17th, 2008
Quite surprisingly the two top WC3 teams were defeated last night when MeetYourMakers faced Gravitas Gaming and SK-Gaming faced mortal Team work.
MYM looked good when Susiria got the first two kills in the clan war, things started getting worse when HoT came in for GG and took out Storm and Susiria, but falling to Grubby. Grubby however lost to TitaN, the Russian Nightelf, and who also managed to defeat Moon! Yes! He defeated Moon! Replays and details of that match here.
Gravitas Gaming however missed another one of their stars in Xyligan, and their manager provides an explaination of things in a small post match debrief to GosuGamers.net
SK-Gaming looked good after the recent win over MYM in WC3L clanwar and Lyn winning the EMC competition, but mTw.Protois was able to take all of the SK team out when his team mate hanf lost to ReMinD. GG.net has made a complete meal of it in their match report. The replays of that clanwar can be found here.
SK [1:4] mTw
MYM [3:4] GravitasGaming
CPL calls it a day!
Posted by on March 15th, 2008
Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) was a start up in Dallas, Texas in 1997 that put Counter-Strike 1.6 on the map and created a whole culture and community behind it. CPL was founded with the thought that one day it would be able to make e-sports a viable spectator sport.
WC3L PD7: SK 4-1 srs, BeT 3-2 Wicked
Posted by on March 10th, 2008
SK-Gaming keep their record good in the WarCraft 3 League by winning over Serious Gaming (srs) 4-1. ReMinD however managed to lose his match 2-1 to srs.SonKiE which is a disappointment for me, again.
Beijing E-Sports Team (BeT) won over Wicked 3-2, where WinNers, Who, and and Check were the three winners for them.
Mass postpones saw three of the games left in the mTw vs MYM WC3L PD 7 clash due to players leaving for LAN tournaments and mismanagement at the WC3L side. Moon and Susiria have already won their matches for MYM.
Details and replays over at ESL website.
WC3L: Playday 6 has WE beating MYM!
Posted by on March 4th, 2008
I wasn’t going to expect MYM to lose a single clan war, but as it seems they are not really good in the management department. World Elite took them down [3:2] yesterday when the NGL-One winners played with Grubby, Moon, Susiria and Lucifer. All of whom lost their 1v1 matches expect Moon winning [2:0] over Like.
Sky met Grubby on Gnoll Wood and with an Mountain King first strat on Echo Isles, defeated him two matches straight to take the ‘derby’ match [2:0]. A great deal of rivalry exists between them since the days of WCG when he was able to dethrone Grubby as the WCG champion.
Rafey, one of our resident gosus on gamerpk forums, had this insight to add:
The matchups turned out for WE just as they predicted. They knew MYM would put grubby on GW and moon on EI. That is why they put sky on GW (Grubby never beats sky) and Like on EI (so that moon does not face sky/infi and is kind of wasted). The only thing they did not know was whether MYM would play Shy or Susiria. MYM did a good job benching Focus, since there was only one orc map, GW, and they preferred Grubby over Focus. I guess WE won the mind game Very Happy. The only thing that surprises me is that TeD beat Susiria o:

AWL Euro Qualifiers: A Story Massive No-Shows!?
Posted by on March 2nd, 2008
You’d be surprised to note that big names like RotterdaM, ToD, Xyligan did not show up at the Afreeeca WarCraft League European qualifiers. Season 3 of AWL was having it’s European qualifiers to help expand the qualifiers, but a lot of the groups were left in the limbo as there was a massive no-show at the day of the qualifiers.
However, the wiser gamers took the full benefit of the opportunity to play for an Asian league, and names like Grubby, TeRRoR, miou, Rob, FuRy, and LiiL.DC qualified.
MYM reports that the spots vacated by ToD, XyLigan and RotterdaM have now being filled through a pre-qualifier. In a post qualification match interview to MYM gaming, srs.SonKiE complained that the Nightelf race needs nerfing. Catch all the replays and scores here.
This tournament was hosted by MYM Gaming.
