Starcraft 2

Singapore - The Southeast Asia region has one of the most active Warcraft 3 DotA communities in the world. It is also notorious for rampant piracy. Activision Blizzard's removal of the LAN function (an indirect form of DRM) in Starcraft 2 has stunted the number of Starcraft 2 players in the region. To increase the number of players, Blizzard Entertainment has introduced pre-paid time cards - a popular mode of payment in Southeast Asia. The Starcraft 2 game cards are available in the following denominations: 3 days, 7 days and 30 days. Starcraft 2 DVD Installers are also available.

Royce` had purchased Starcraft 2 starter kit for 7 days! Going for full purchase in the following year.

SGNDT 2010

General Information
Venue: e@curve, Damansara
Date: 3rd-5th December 2010
Time: 10am - 10pm (GMT+8) daily

The SMM Grand National DotA Tournament started out as a local tournament to boost the eSports scene in Malaysia. As the name implies, the event focuses on elevating the standard of competitive play in DotA.

But with its ever increasing prize pool, the tournament has since attracted teams from all around the world to participate. It is now considered one of the year's biggest tournament.


MY.RollsRoyce would like to say good luck to every teams in Malaysia and hopefully at least 3 Malaysian teams and also China/Indonesia/Vietnam's finest team be able to clinch the overall top 8 placing.

I would wish to compete or ventured to the scene but all due to my degree education and stuffs as again. But it's ok, one day I'll hope to assist my friend's team I met through online in future and show them what is made of Sarawak's semi-pro gamers alike. Our paths will always raise and since it's a state under Malaysia. There's no saying there won't be improvements but things will change. Was pretty much anticipate that my team MaDNet Outlawz would have lasted until SMM 2010 but sponsor's disbandment is agreed by everyone of us 6 players/manager alike. The players have carved onto their next target tournament locally. Wish them good luck and hopefully I'll play my roles as manager/player more to show whose boss and also compete with players who was once my team mate and rivals!

My current bet for the champion of this year's SMMDotA would be placed onto team Nirvana.cn!

The overall tournament has concluded and thanks to sgamer.com for the detailed top 8 placings:-

Sarawak E-Sports

Electronic Sports, abbreviated e-Sports is used as a general term to describe the play of video games competitively. Other terms include competitive gaming, professional gaming, cybersports and V-Sports.

In Sarawak, there are clubs that are formed to promote and improve the scene. I have joined so far two so I'll be talking about it. Firstly, most of the gaming clubs are made so that tournaments can be organized smoothly and schedules to be set properly. Other things do involve sponsorship and collaborations with big organizers such as SMM , ESWC in order to go further. My roles were promoting and also to survey the scenes that made the glory with our Malaysian refined professional players which mostly situated at Selangor state. But for Sarawak due to it's East Malaysia border region, it's already carved similar steps and will still go on until everything's up to standard.

Malaysia DotA Clan War

Just some end-game screenshots of my favourite few game in the past and present for DotA. Utilizing roles such as pusher , semi-carry and ganker is what I've been playing in clan war mixed game and sometimes battling against full team opponent. I posted for the sake of remembering the times I've spent in Malaysia DotA Clan War Room at Garena. In games of a different level than public games, expect that any decent to skilled players stand a chance to win and lose with the mix within for experience. Have a look!

The Swinburne Prom Night: The Walk of Fame

It is a one night only event where final year students and guest will gather to dine and dance with their friends in a grand environment of the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK), the host of this year's prom.

The theme of this year's Prom Night is the Walk of Fame : Celebrity Night.
It is theme where it gives students the opportunity to dress elegantly like a Angelina Jolie, cool like Johnny Depp or dress Gaga'ish like Lady Gaga.

In this prom, the students are going to experience a cocktail dining style, a style where food and drink will be provided at the corner of the hall and there is no designated place for students to sit or dine, instead they are free to move around to interact with each other and have fun. What awaits them at this event is The Dance.

Their will be tables and chair on the side for the student who wants to sit and enjoy the evening But the greater part of the evening will involve student participation. The main idea of this arrangement is to involve the student to have FUN.

Revival Of Team

I have made and joined several teams locally in Sarawak to make myself progress and show my skills in few tournaments but there is still a long road for me to satisfy my records and winning achievements. But regardless, I'm very happy that I can battle against all senior and strong teams alike. My dream is to be a international/state DotA player as for electronic gaming sports and it is already on it's path but due to my degree studies and stuff. I may have to struggle between various stuffs which hinders my full prowess. Reasons for me to write this was to record teams that I have joined officially in tournaments and played my role as semi-ganker and supporter.

Team OMG was one of my earliest first succesful team I formed to battle at Cozee II's tournament and reached 8th placing.

Team Inner/PTK was my second team officially that lasted for two and a half months where we fought remarkably at Gizmo DotA Fever weekly tournament and went for finals at least once. Was the best formation that beaten Cyberline's team consisting of veterans whereas ours were half veterans and new potentials.

Team SDT was my third team officially that has proven to several teams we can compete on any university and local tournaments as long we trained hard. But we never put in effort to trainings due time constraint but at least clinched 2nd place from Swinburne DotA Championship to mark our team's name in history.

Hopefully I will form or either be joined with a consistent teams that requires me as main or substitute! I have many roles in e-sports so I would not just stick to just playing. Most importantly, to make more of the teams I played with more successful and stronger! In the year 2011 to come, I have decided to reform several teams and go as far as possible. As for now, I am invited to be a marshall in a prestigious DotA tournament called SUPP to witness new teams and powerhouses that yearns to compete in Malaysia for quite some time.

Sushi King 2010

I finally visited Sushi King once again during my University's school break. Had the bonanza's and casual meal for around 6 times visit since I don't have to eat till I'm numb to the japanese outlet itself haha! Took in about 12 plates consisting of unagi's and many more which cost about RM27.60(me) within the promotion period. My friends were actually coursemates and our foods totally costed RM125! That is considered pretty cheap compared to the usual RM250-300 you'll have to waste just by eating the Kaiten Belt's sushi galore.

Company : Sushi King

I had joined the event once due to my ex-OMG.DotA team players who happened to play HoN as their next focused strategy games. I can only consider this as a high level pub game due to the standards of the players I've faced but still a pleasant way to master HoN's Banning Pick game mode similar to DotA's captainmode! If you won the event anytime during Tuesday or Thursday, you'll get yourself a free beta key to share to any of your friends!

My records for Bloodbath 2 started on 14th October 2010 and we won by a slight gap which is 50+ in scores compared to opponent's 20+. I'll try to join their upcoming events so that I could state the dates which I've won throughout this mini event from HoN. Thanks for reading!

DotA 2

Dota 2 takes its name from the Warcraft III mod Defense of the Ancients, a drastic change to that stock real-time strategy title, which pits two teams of five players against each other in highly competitive, 40-minute or longer matches. Unlike most RTSes, DotA has each player controlling a single hero who levels up and stockpiles gold to purchase powerful equipment and consumables. As computer-controlled armies continually spawn and rush the enemy's base, players are responsible for using their powerful heroes to turn the tide of the battle in their favor.

DotA enjoys such unprecedented popularity for a number of interconnected reasons. The game has a skill curve as long and as wide as Counter-Strike or StarCraft; expert players dominate matches with lesser-skilled individuals solely through manual dexterity and hard-won knowledge. Extensive upgrade paths allow players to combine items into more powerful versions, gaining thousands of hit points or powerful life-stealing attacks. Team play is hugely rewarded; though the map is large enough for all ten players to spread out and fight creeps on their own without anyone engaging anyone else directly, late-game play is almost invariably centered around giant 3v3 or even 5v5 team fights.

Valve founder and boss Gabe Newell thinks that ongoing service and value creation over a game's lifespan is the new reality of game development. "IceFrog was one of the smartest people we've ever met about doing that, and he was doing it with both hands tied behind his back, so to speak," Newell says. The company plans on approaching Dota 2 with the same dedication that won it the fanatical devotion of the Team Fortress 2 community, pushing out dozens of updates that do everything from adding new hats to fixing balance issues to introducing entire new match types for free.
