DoTA

3:33pm: If you follow our forums, you would know that Kingsurf managed to defeat Impreza of Singapore in the quarter finals. Right now, they are playing on stage against New Zealand which…doesn’t go quite well with Kingsurf on the losing side.

3:51pm: Oh noooess!!!! Kingsurf lost the semi-finals to New Zealand! There goes our gold medal hopeful. With that defeat, Team Malaysia is now officially dropped from the overall champion pursuit.

4:14pm: Kingsurf will meet XcN of Indonesia for 3rd/4th placing.

6:00pm: The tournament organizer decided to stop the match half-way and is now choosing the match winner by points. This was done to give way for the closing ceremony. It is not yet known who will get the bronze medal. Stay tune.

6:04pm: The results has been confirmed! Team Malaysia received a bronze medal in DoTA where Kingsurf managed to beat Indonesia’s XcN by point counts.

FIFA’08

3:33pm: [W|nDs]Si_Jali won the 1st only gold medal for Team Malaysia in FIFA’08!!! Earlier today in the semi-finals, Si_Jali defeated his Vietnamese counterpart and continued his winning streak against last year’s 1st runner up player from India during the finals. With that victory, Si_Jali has just repeated his WCG Asian 2006 achievement!

Guitar Hero III

3:33pm: Earlier today, I was been told that there was some mix-up in the bracket yesterday, with Malaysia supposed to be in the quarter-finals. So, yours n00bly truly picked up the guitar again for one final match in the game.

Malaysia was matched up against Philippines during the quarter-finals and I doesn’t stand a chance at all. That’s the end of the road for Team Malaysia in Guitar Hero III.

NFS ProStreet

4:00pm: Team Malaysia ended the NFS ProStreet campaign at semi-finals, where our representative, FoRza lost to Thailand. Later on, as consolation, FoRza managed to obtain bronze medal after defeating the Philippines.

Call of Duty 4

4:45pm: Alright to recap all the matches that RVG and [ESP]aXe has went through, this are all their stats for the league stage.

RVG: 3 win, 1 lose
[ESP]aXe: 3 lose, 1 win

By that, RVG qualified to the Semi-Finals after being among the Top 4 in the league stage. From now on, it will be the normal, single elimination bracket style.

5:50pm: RVG is now battling against one of the [JEDI] teams for a place in the Finals. Things is quite equal among both teams.

7:00pm: The match has ended! After a long battle, RVG unfortunately lose it in the final map where they ended up as the 4th place receiver.

DoTA

3:33pm: Here are the final standing for all three Malaysian teams in this category:

DNA-SK: 3rd Runner Up
