World Cyber Games 2008 – Mission Accomplished

Hello!

I am now blogging from my home after a couple of days being around in Cologne (Germany) for the World Cyber Games 2008, the WCG are the olympic games of the electronic sports and I am happy to see this event going so well.

Cologne!

Started going there on Tuesday, where I picked up Moon from the player hotel along with FoCuS, HappY, Reis. After that we went to a Korean-Japanese restaurant and had some nice food for around 12 EUR per person. You could order different kinds of food, for example sushi and seafood stuff. It was pretty good, but I was more happy about the fact that I could meet my player Moon again.

We had some talks and we had some fun, after that I brought Moon and FoCuS to the hotel, actually I had the plan to go home and watch some movie, but everything went different than expected. I was heading to a cocktail bar with QuizZ to have a last drink for the evening, but after a few minutes his mate Peer from ESLTV stopped by and we went to a club called Nachtflug, where we came out at like 5 a.m. in the morning. Danced a bit and had a couple of drinks, but all those people in there are not so smart, doesn’t matter. In the light all the chicks look great anyway.

I was home at around 6.30 a.m. and I was soo tired and fell asleep immediately, but at around 7.30 I got a call from my player Grubby and from our sales manager Bo, about the meeting they had the day, so I had to get up and deal with the problems first, afterwards I went back to sleep and woke up at 9.20 a.m. to work.

I finished my stuff at around 17 CET and went back to Cologne to have some dinner with my friends Slash and his girlfriend Anja. Was fun to do so and besides we met the guys from myMYM too: Beemit, Perdita, Crow were eating in this little Mexican restaurant near the train station. But when we arrived they had to get back do their work, which is the reason
for them being in Cologne. So we had a couple of cocktails after that and ate some good and spicy food, got home at around 1.30 am and fell asleep immediately.

On Friday I went back there (again) and stayed there until Sunday. I saw my players playing and all went smoothly, suddenly on Saturday I could see that Moon and Grubby were standing in the Grand final the next day. I was so happy about this fact, because it could not have been better for us. Gold and Silver to the my players in my team, what a dream! But on the other hand I knew immediately that this match will have a sad loser, so I wanted to be prepared, people and press kept asking me about who I thought would be the winner and I kept answering that I do not know. And it was like this, I had the chances jumping around in my head, but I could not make up a decision and to be honest I did not want to.

The moment I saw Moon losing the game I prepared to get to him, while I know Grubby would be happy and he is professional enough to handle that. All people went to the winner and all cameras with him. So my only thing in my mind was to get to Moon and try to make him feel better. After the press conference where Moon, Grubby and his family were interviewed, I took Moon and FoCuS out for dinner. Some nice kebab, because I remember them loving it so I it came directly into our minds. It was a good dinner. After that I watched the prize ceremony and closing talks with Reis, SaSe, ToD and Xlord.

The last thing I did was going into a restaurant with Rippche and we had  some Thai food for the last time, drank a cocktail which was by the way too strong and went home. Now I am still really happy about the fact that I can see my players getting the gold and silver medal for this tournament. MYM Fighting!
