Singapore baby! Nesting territory
Over the course of a September weekend I was lucky enough to be asked to go over to Singapore for an event called TGX 2011, or, The Games Expo 2011. I was required for a game called Dragon Nest for which had recently had a PvP mode added to it and the brief was that I would be required to commentate the games played on stage over the weekend. This brief is a standard one for Gamestah at many of the events we attend, but what ensued was very different. Following is the details of an awesome weekend……
I arrived at Changi Airport, Singapore late on Thursday night, and then waited a bit for Glimmer to get in from Perth. We then proceeded to the hotel, chilled and got ready for the days ahead. Glimmer was over for Garena to generally help them with their game coverage across the weekend with his focus on Heroes of Newerth, G Kart, Blackshot and his beloved League of Legends. His schedule was a full one with few breaks and a generous amount of stage time for matches including various finals. There was no mention of Dragon Nest on his documentation, and so the mystery of what I would be doing for the weekend continued.
Alienware Dragon Nest PvP Finals – Singapore, December 2011
Late last year I was asked back to Singapore to commentate some more Dragon Nest. A solo adventure I was only required for a single day for a 4 team round robin tournament which was to complete a competition which had taken place online for a number of weeks. The teams were restricted to being from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
The set up of the competition was a simple 4v4, first to 5 rounds wins, and the PvP play in Dragon Nest is pretty immense. I won’t recount details of the day’s action, but will leave the link to the YouTube Playlist here:
