So what's your thoughts guys? You have to be mid-crouch to see this, and obviously we know some tight games or rounds such as ecos can be entirely decided by entry frags or reaction times,... http://www.dicevip.com/item/16645 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 04:58:11 EST In only a few short days the Australian WCG Champs  Team Immunity embark on their round-the-world journey with their first stopover being Beijing for the MSi 'Beat It' tournament followed a thirteen day boot-camp in one of the worlds most famous netcafes, Stockholms Inferno Online to better prepare themselves for the World Cyber Games Finals in Los Angeles later in the month. They will be flying straight from Beijing after the MSI BEAT IT competition wraps up on the 7th of September to begin their boot-camp. Settling in at Inferno Online in Stockholm the team will have access to one of the world’s largest LAN cafes with some of the fastest... http://www.dicevip.com/item/16606 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 11:44:17 EST Through the CyberGamer 1.6 league registration, Exile5 have revealed a new team which consists a mixture of NSW and QLD talent. The ECN silver medalists overhauled their former lineup replacing ferg, spitty and choobie with sommi, jks and sponny - a necessary change due to inactivity according to team captain Constantine "coNz" Fotopoulos. "This isn't the first time kruz and I have picked up young talent to play in our team - kruz also did the same with myself when I started out so the question is not if we will perform well just when"... http://www.dicevip.com/item/16480 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:11:35 EST After months of discussion, Cybergamer have revealed details about its first online 1.6 league which will span over 3 months and 3 divisions. The pay to play league will run over a period of 7 weeks with the top 4 teams advancing to a best-of-three finals. Skill wise it will be broken down into 3 divisions: Black Invite League (Div1)Blue Main League (Div2)Green amateur League (Div3) Registrations will open up this Saturday where teams will choose a division to join, and then drafted into the appropriate division by admins to ensure fair play. There... http://www.dicevip.com/item/16465 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:34:18 EST Today the WCG Australian champions  Team Immunity, have announced that they were officially invited to compete in Beijing for the 2010 MSi 'Beat It' Cup this september.

Draft lans are pug like tournaments where players sign up individually and are drafted into the teams on the day. Due to the number of players, a 7th team was created from the lowest seed of whichever team had a bye in that round.   Team Lineup   LoGan Lions http://www.dicevip.com/item/16356 Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:09:08 EST After the feedback and ideas from the initial plan for DICE Nats 2010, a meeting was held between the admins and contributors from various states to discuss ideas. Before I go ahead, it's encouraging to see the number of people contributing ideas and willing to help out. It's with shows of support that events like this will continue to run. The date that's been penciled in is the 4th-5th December. Originally I pushed for it to run over 3 days, but given the fact that this will be the 3rd national event in the space of 6 months, most players couldn't commit the time and money. So that idea was thrown out the window. Being a two day event, it introduces a new set of problems. Fitting in 2 groups of 6 teams within the... http://www.dicevip.com/item/16019 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:35:28 EST Archaic E-Sports now feature two Counter-Strike 1.6 divisions after adding the premier New Zealand 1.6 team Parallax. The 7 time WCG.nz champions had been without an organisation for much of its existence with the exception of a short lived stint under TSW (Team Sidewinder) during 2008, where they had appearances at WCG, AINC and KODE5. Although the exact reasons why they left TSW back in 2009 were never published, one can only guess it was due to disagreements between the team and the... http://www.dicevip.com/item/15795 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:46:49 EST The last video I upload shows some of the action that I was able to capture during the semi-final match between Archaic and Immunity. As you'll see it was a very emotional game between both teams, and the end scoreline certainly reflected it. No event is complete without seeing some of gazR's antics, so I've made sure to include some :) These videos were meant to be uploaded on the day but the upload was too slow and kept timing out! http://www.dicevip.com/item/15709 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:38:18 EST Another interview by Peki that was on on Day 1 of WCG - straight after Archaic narrowly lost to KBS in group play. Peki wastes little time and asks some challenging questions :) http://www.dicevip.com/item/15704 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:41:02 EST Prior to WCG.au starting, we ran a contest for our users to win a PureTrak Talent mousepad from ESMarket.com.au The majority of predictions had it right, which came down to 96 topping ViKiNGS to get out of groups. We have drawn out a lucky winner from all the right entries that will receive a PureTrak Talent mousepad and the winner is: #7 - http://www.dicevip.com/item/15671
