January 8th was the MBC Star League (MSL) group drawing for the top 32 players who either qualified in the MBC Survivor Tournament (MST) or were seeded from the last MSL event. WCG looking for the Ultimate Gamer55 comments( Major News: Gaming)xou @ 08:51 CST, 8 January 2009 -
This season is sponsored by Lost Saga, a new video game in Korea.
Last night was very action packed as the gamers were brought out one by one and entertained their fans with special walk-in intros like UpMagic's list of MSL players that he lit on fire and made it sparkle, Bisu's dance imitation of the Korean singer Bi Rain, Magma's bull dog face, Bul_T's version of the latest Wonder Girls dance, Nada's call to the camera as he threw a 1-2-3 boxing combo into it, Hwasin's dark sunglasses to imitate Bi Rain, and FireBatHero's partially seductive striptease as he turned his back to the crowd and took off his jacket to show the screaming female fans the top of his back that had no shirt on.
The man of the night was originally supposed to be the three time MSL winner Kim Taek Yong aka Bisu, but that was short lived as eSTRO's Magma shocked the crowd by calling out all of the "6 dragons", aka the top 6 Protoss players in Korea right now Bisu, Stork, Kal, Free, JangBi, Best), saying he isn't afraid to play any of them and that he usually calls them the "6 raptors" at home, since they're so small in size when compared to dragons. 
Nada, Stork, Kal, were among many of the people who were moving Magma's name on the group stage board back and forth into their group, hoping to get a piece of this monster Zerg player, but in the end it was Bisu who had the last chance to move around pla yers names and he stuck Magma in his group to make it Bisu (P), Savior (Z), Magma (Z), and Zero (Z) in group A.
Many fans and critics laughed at Bisu for putting Magma in his group, as he said the reason for doing it is that he wanted to make things interesting, but many people know that he likes to give himself an easy group to improve his chances later on. (Protoss vs. Zerg is Bisu's best match up and the best Zerg vs. Protoss player in the group Savior, has a 1-5 record vs. Bisu)
The 2009 Lost Saga MSL top 32 and groups look like this:Group A - 1-15-2009

WCG and SCI-FI announced a partnership some months ago in order to produce a new TV reality show, initially called Gamequest, with some e-sport flavor additives. Yesterday, the whole thing took a new dimension as WCG release a video teaser of the show on wcgultimategamer.com.
The 12 esports' superstars, including sWooZie, AthenaTwin, iNcontroL or Valkyrie (who confessed "it was the most amazing and stressful situation I have ever been in in my life!"), were chosen during auditions in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago & Austin. They lived all together during a few weeks and competed on PGR 4, Virtua Fighter 5, Halo 3, Rock Band 2, Dance Dance Revolution and NBA09 to become WCG Ultimate Gamer's Best All-around Gamer and earn $100,000.
The way the competition works there is very simple: the gamers have to play their regular video games, and also their equivalent in real life! Which means they have to drive a real car, play basket ball with a real ball, play a real guitar or punch some stuff around.
Hannah Simone and Joel Gourdin were picked to host the TV show which should be aired on the Sci-Fi channel in March 2009. You may also find an extended version of the teaser on vimeo.com.Source:www.wcg.comWindows 7 Beta tomorrow63 comments( Major News: OT)spyteman @ 06:27 CST, 8 January 2009 - 
Tomorrow, January 9, Microsoft is going to release a public beta of what is supposed to be the next big thing in operating systems: Windows 7. As many users were really disappointed in Windows Vista, which was only released 2 years ago, Microsoft promised to listen closely to feedback and improve their OS around the wishes of the Windows community. Windows 7 is said to be faster and easier to use than former versions and comes with a bunch of new features for the desktop, including new software such as Internet Explorer 8.
* Windows 7
* New features
* Videos
* Windows 7 Beta demo video from CES 2009
Apparently the number of downloads will be limited to 2.5 million copies, and the beta will stop working on August 1, 2009. So better be quick to download it once it is released (probably evening hours in Europe).
source: the interbits. 4%26 comments13%72 commentsThe Stamina 1 ladder is now over and the top 32 participants have been decided. While running for 2.5 weeks, the ladder portion of the event showed a lot of people really going back and forth for the 28 out of 32 spots available, the other 4 spots being invitees from the previous tournament held.
Starting Sunday the 11th, the best of 3, single elimination round will take place and right off the bat we see famous names like MYM.DinOt and MYM.Dreiven going head to head as theyre both fighting for the first place prize of $300.
If youre familiar with the WCG, or the latest Blizzard invitational event in California, you might have heard of
Artosis, hes a well known commentator from the states as well as being a 6 time WCG USA finalist and 2 time grand finalist. He will be casting all of the top 32 matches, which will be available after the tournament is over in a VOD format.
What is Stamina? Stamina is a new tournament with cash prizes open to any players outside of Korea. The tournament will start out with an 18 day ladder ba sed on ICCup. At the end of 18 days, the top 28 ranked pla yers in the ladder will be qualified for the final tournament to fight it out for $500 in cash prizes. Throughout the event there will be in-depth coverage as well as VODs of the best games released.
Stamina also marks the start of a new ranking system for players of SCForAll.com events. A side ladder will be kept to keep track of pla yer¡¯s finishes in the soon to be frequent events on the site. These rankings will help to determine invites and special events in the future.

What is Stamina? Stamina is a new tournament with cash prizes open to any players outside of Korea. The tournament will start out with an 18 day ladder ba sed on ICCup.
