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!

Winners of the 1st ever-made DotA tournament at Swinburne

1st – XD Babies

2nd – SDT

3rd – Wuasu

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.

Another interesting thing about the ‘publicity’

LOL

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

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!

You would have read in the newspapers or heard today about a Swinburne student from Kuching having been treated for H1N1. We have since been in contact with the health authorities to gather more information on the matter.

From our records, the student concerned was formerly from Swinburne Sarawak but transferred to Melbourne in 2007. According to the Sarawak General Hospital, he arrived back here in Kuching on Friday, 19 June, and was admitted to the hospital on Sunday, 21 June. Tests conducted by the hospital yesterday confirmed that he has the virus but his condition is quickly improving.

The State Operations Room at SGH that is handling the flu pandemic does not have any information to indicate that this student has been to the Sarawak Campus since his return. So any concerns that he may have passed on the virus on campus can be safely ruled out.

We are in close contact with the health authorities and will provide full cooperation in dealing with this pandemic.

Thank you.

Sweaty palms, nightmares, a black-out even. Exams may cause you to experience terrible anxiety. Too much! But fear is not at all necessary. After all, our exam requirements set out exactly what you need to know and do before going in to an exam. On top of this, I give you ten tips that increase your chances of passing an exam. Take notice of these tips when preparing for your exam.

Top Ten Exam Tips
1. Be sure to use the exam requirements, recommended literature and sample exams.

2. Complete the sample exam first without consulting the answers. Then make sure to carefully read and understand the feedback.

3. Make sure to allow for plenty of time when travelling to the exam location.
4. Enter an exam well-rested.

5. Start with the easy questions. Do not get stuck on difficult ones, but put those questions aside and return to them later.

6. Often, first impressions are best. Therefore, do not change your answers unless you are absolutely certain that you have made a mistake.

7. Read the question very carefully. Consider what precisely is being asked. If the question demands four arguments, then give four, not three or five. Do not write more than required in the hope that the people marking the exams will select the correct answers.

8. The so-called ‘Open exam questions’ demand that you compose the entire answer yourself: make sure you write clearly.

9. In the case of multiple choice questions: think of your own answer first before looking at the answers listed on the page.

10. When you are finished, check carefully whether you have answered all the questions.

Take care and good luck everyone
