Four gold medals were awarded to South Korean gamers Sunday at the 10th annual World Cyber Games Grand Final, a four-day contest at the Los Angeles Convention Center of more than 400 competitors from 58 countries.
Gamers from the United States weren't far behind South Korea with three gold medals. Earning the accolade was the five-man CounterLogic team for "League Legends," the six-man AmeriMiX team for "Quake Wars Online" and Alec "Acai28" Castillo for "Guitar Hero 5." Castillo bested a player from the United Kingdom on Rush's "The Spirit of Radio" in the final round.
It fits. I'm not a big TV fan so normally don't use the thing but I clicked it on over in Korea on a business trip. It was hilarious to watch Starcraft televised as a professional sport complete with color commentary. Some group of game units would start moving on the display and the color announcer would go nuts like it was mexican soccer.
