World Cyber Games Come To A Close

Posted by Zonk on from the we-who-may-be-about-to-frag-salute-you dept.

GamePolitics reports on the results from the World Cyber Games, held in Singapore this year. The U.S. didn't come out badly in the medal count, with the Ryans taking the gold in Halo 2. From the article: "At the closing ceremony, Dr. Lee Boon Yang, Singapore's Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts said, 'Digital games as part of the whole entertainment and media ecosystem is big business and a growing contributor to the global creative economy. We are therefore proud to be the host country of such events as they serve to reinforce Singapore's position as a regional hub and gateway to Asia.'"

    I couldn't make sense of the linked results page -- try this one.

    So, the Americans won the Halo and CS titles, the Koreans won Starcraft, the Brazilians won Need For Speed, the Germans won FIFA Soccer, the Japanese won DOA ... seems about right.
