A Community for Swinburne University (Sarawak Campus)
I would like to thank Gizmo Gamers to sponsor this year’s competition with great mini events such as DotA 2 and Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2. My team Kolo Mee Gaming has showed what it takes like my previous team SDT. Clinching champion was a great thing at local tournaments at Sarawak. Thanks to the audiences as well who came witness to my team!

1st – Kolo Mee Gaming
2nd – Joke
3rd – NAVC
It was possible thanks to the suggestions made in SSSC council’s forum and also many supports from the students themselves. Being one of the winner(2nd) myself with a new recruited veteran team, it proofs our standards in Sarawak with many great players that came far out from the top16 bracket. Thanks for Cyberline Cyber Cafe’s endorsement and for Swinburne to approve the first epic e-sports event ever!

Its that time of the year again to vote for the new batch of Student Council for the year 2010 and ofcourse, lets not forget our current Student Council 2009 in servicing the students this year. Thank you for all the effort!
This time round, it appears to be a slightly different compare to previous years. Students get to vote INDIVIDUALS instead of voting candidates as a TEAM. For some, definitely it is odd. There are quite a number of candidates this time, the last I checked was about 10 but I think the number has increased.(sorry, not really sure about it) If you are an avid user of Facebook and in the Swinburne Sarawak Network, you get to see them trying to get support from their friends. Just search around for ’sssc’ or ‘election’ and you’ll find them.
Honestly speaking, I don’t really care who is going to be in the council next year. All I hope is that the next batch is able to utilise the forum well. I know, its kinda sad that this coming from the *ahem*admin*ahem* of the forum. Sorry lar, I’m the kind of admin/moderator that is more into moderating, rather than making the place active, lively, full of noise(if you get what I mean). Seriously, the forum is beneficial for both the council and the students. I do really hope it can become part of every Swinburne student’s life just like BlackBoard.
I know, most of the students couldn’t be bothered by this matter because its like what…week 13??? Finals in two weeks time??!!! For foundation peeps, its even closer!!! Well, nobody is forcing you to participate and you are not doing the wrong thing on concentrating on your finals either, so good luck in that 
To all the candidates, good luck to you all this Wednesday.
Thanks for reading
Quote from Wikipedia :
Electronic sports, abbreviated e-sports or eSports, is used as a general term to describe the play of electronic games competitively. Other terms include competitive gaming, cybersports, cyber athletics (used by the CPL) and V-Sports (used by the GGL).
These games which are considered electronic sports normally belong to the They are played competitively at both amateur and professional levels. Professional levels are played competitively at the professional league and tournament.
Advantages of playing in LAN(local-area network)
Playing over a LAN has a number of advantages: the network conditions are much better suited to playing computer games than on the Internet, and when the competitors are in the same building it is a lot harder to cheat without someone knowing (at professional events administrators will normally be present to ensure fair play). It is also a much more social atmosphere. Due to the advantages of LAN many gamers organize Lan parties or visit LAN centres(cyber cafes or venue) and major tournaments are always conducted over LANs.
My opinion towards the title provided…
Sarawak E-sports progression
It has been slowly moving towards the era where KL and Sabah are currently at. Many colleges and universities from KL states have been organising this sort of tournament in advance showing the culture of technology advancement. Sarawak will need to push themselves forward if they were to give more exposure and also to adept to other high-level countries with cybersports athletics. PC games puts a student or a gamer into an area where they put their skills and mind strategies in order to tackle with another opponent.
The reason why competitions are made is the same as how the hundred years formed Olympic existed. E-sports has just started their very own pace at the late 2000s. Why not for Sarawak state? Think about getting a group of friends and explore the wilderness of games within the 2000s millenium. The main purpose is to let more and more people accept their mindset towards e-sports. Cyber cafe with certain recognitions will have to do their part in this e-sports scene as well as parts contributed and approved by colleges and universities in the state itself. Governments should really focus on analyzing e-sports and uniqueness. My humbly advise is to hope that everyone gets adepted to a new and yet realistic world we’re gonna face not just normal sports! To include, it has its pros and cons and it’s up to the people to realise the potential it brings in market and of course a new bred community. The better for the e-sports industry and era be risen!
