WD Holds First Gamers Cup for Media

Wazzup Pilipinas!

WD, the world’s leading provider of excellent computer storage solutions, hosts its first ever gaming tournament for the Philippine tech press on March 6, 2015 at Imperium e-Sports Bar and Video Game Lounge in Metrowalk Commercial Complex, Pasig City.

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas was of course among the many members of the media who dared join a team and compete in a friendly game of Counterstrike Global Offensive. What made the competition a lot more stressful was the fact that we were competing for a chance to win WD Green 6 TB desktop drives and a 120 GB Kingston SSD. That's for each member of the five-man team. Thus WD gave away a total of 5 desktop drives and 5 SSDs.

Wow! I think I perspired a lot eventhough Imperium was airconditioned, especially when the games was a close fight to the win.

I actually invited a blogger friend so he could be among my team mates but unfortunately the team members were assigned via fish bowl draw so I ended up with other members. It was a good thing I never insisted to change groupings since many of my team members were pros in Counterstrike.

Four teams were created to battle each other out for an elimination round via two teams versus challenge, and the final round between the two remaining teams on a best of three win. Since we won in the first two, we were unanimously the declared winners.
