World Cyber Games (WCG) Mall of Asia

Hey there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed or join our Monster Emails for updates. You can also follow me on Twitter.

We checked out SM Mall of Asia (MOA) last Saturday because there was a SALE – Yeah! I bought new curtains. That’s about it.

Anyway, my brother and a couple of my students were involved in WCG (world Cyber Games) on the side to basically do some coverage. Since they’re all multimedia students they were hired to do be videographers, photographers and to help out with the usual stuff involved in events. I decided to pay them a visit.

Its amazing how popular this event is and I’m saying that because I turned my back on games some years ago – I still enjoy a casual game or two but I realized earlier on that if I keep it up I would eventually fall to the dark side and literally get obsessed with gameplay. But that’s just me. I tend to obsess and drop everything when I get addicted to something. Moving on, it was an entertaining experience seeing fans dressed up in there favorite anime and game characters. DotA was a huge hit and while the teams were at play – the crowds kept cheering them on. I couldn’t see what was happening because I was way at the back. I went up to the 2nd floor so I could take some pictures. See for yourself:

Cool Ironman v1 costume. I also saw the following characters (sorry, wasn’t able to take photos): Optimus prime, spawn, counterstrike dudes, a bunch of anime characters – I honestly don’t know who they are.

I’m sure you’ll see a lot of posts about this event. I saw a number of people with kick ass cameras taking shots and I have a strong hunch that most of them are bloggers because they didn’t have the usual media ID around their necks… or they’re just huge fans. Either or I think I too feel the need… the need to play.

By the way, they have a website for the event: http://ph.worldcybergames.com/
