World Cyber Games Coverage (Day 5 - Final)
DAY 5 - 22 OCT '06
After a stop in the press room, on the final day of the World Cyber Games, we watched the intense and close match between NiP (Sweden) and TeamPentagram (Poland) for the Gold Medal in Half Life: Counter Strike 1.6. The match was great, both clans did their best and the show was simply amazing. TeamPentagram lost a team member during the second round due to technical problems with a computer, this delayed the whole tournament because the referees had trouble making a decision on that round’s result. In the end, TeamPentagram was able to get back together and focus on the match, winning the Gold.
Talking to Domenic, Trixie, VideoMonkey and Matt was always a pleasure. I hope to see you all soon, maybe in WCG 2007 or sooner…

The Grand Champion of World Cyber Games 2006 appeared to be Team Korea. It took about four years for Team Korea to get the Grand Champion title back in World Cyber Games since 2003. Team Russia won the second place in medal tally with one gold and one silver medal while Team Germany placed as the third with one gold and one bronze medal. Four countries including Canada, China, Poland and USA won one gold medal respectively.
Following the awarding ceremony, the WCG flag was handed over to Mr. Ralph Morton (Executive Director of Seattle Sports Commission, which will host the WCG 2007) and after that fireworks light up the sky… WCG has been an unforgettable experience and I look forward to being in Seattle next year.
