jester42 writes "The quasi-olympics in eSports just took place this last weekend in Seoul, Korea. 600 players from 55 nations competed in 8 different games to find both best players and best nations. The results of each game, and a medal tally can be found at the WCG website. Germany got the title of best nation, ahead of Chinese Taipei and Korea. The World Cyber Games are held every year, and national qualifications are followed by a final. Next year's final will be hosted by San Francisco, and will be the first time the WCG finals take place outside Asia."

    Wah, wah, I don't play the games because I think they suck or they're not popular here, so they must be anti-me!

    It's also discrimanatory against the majority of Ethopians because they don't have the luxury of computers! Let's make Bush bomb Korea! Both of them!

    Hey, can my team from Uganda play in your "World Series"?

    I just read the last paragraph, you think they HATE the USA? What a self-inflated feeling of worth. They probably didn't even care that no loud-talking, fat-ass, whiny Americans like you attended the event.
