  Change SG LAN Tournament Dress Code

  July 30, 2010 at 1:52 pm / Uncategorized

  Professional e-sports is about sportsmanship and serious training, not about what you’re wearing. In Singapore, there has been a dress code for many tournaments, including the latest World Cyber Games Asian Championship. I hope that both tournament organisers and sponsors will support the following three ideas. Having a successful event includes the gamers having a fun time. I hope to get feedback (no matter where you live), so that I can reflect on my thoughts before making my suggestions. 1. [...]

  Crazy 1-hour Queue Again!

  July 26, 2010 at 5:29 pm / DPM

  Finally has some time to relax yesterday! Went to Astons for dinner, played a couple of arcade games (where I was challenged), watched Inception and then went to play DotA! I have no idea why we were crazy enough to waste our time waiting for over an hour to eat at Astons, especially since the steak was horrible the first time I went. I’ve had better beef at half the price! Perhaps it had something to do with killing time [...]

  1-HOUR+ Wait for Bubble Tea!

  July 24, 2010 at 7:38 am / DPM

  Yesterday, I had a craving for bubble tea, so after lunch I dragged everyone over to the other side of China Town for what is supposed to be the best bubble tea in town. Who would’ve know it would take more than an hour? I have no idea why I was stupid enough to think that it would take about 20minutes at most. I think there were about 20 people infront of me, obviously buying more than one cup each. [...]

  Working @ Garena

  July 23, 2010 at 1:45 am / DPM

  What is it like working at Garena? It’s fun, but it’s not about playing games and lounging about in the office. I have played a total of about TEN games in over three months, most for testing HoN before the Closed Beta. Launching three games (Go Kart, HoN, LoL) at the same time and normal activities makes me a busy bee. I’m not complaining because I love being busy and it’s fun! Here are a few snipets of me at [...]

  DotA 6.68: New Hero & Saving System

  July 22, 2010 at 2:07 am / DotA, Gaming

  Besides the announced new heroes, IceFrog announced the new Reliable vs Unreliable Gold system in his blog. Players can save up money to buy bigger items, even if you keep dying because gold can be saved in your Reliable Gold pool. This element requires more teamwork because it increases the importance of letting your carry heroes get hero kills, so that they can save up even if they die. This decreases the significance of dying if you have many hero [...]
