Muiz, Hasher and Md Basri big winners. Last Sunday, new champions were crowned for the Pro Evo Soccer 2009 as well as Call of Duty 4 in the 4th Brunei Cyber Game. Though the number of participants have dropped due to H1N1 scare, there were still a handful of players that turned up during the tournament. Notably missing were the gang from Lumut (Alif Akmal, a former champion, Amal, Zul, Rai, Andy) as they were preparing for Alif's sister's wedding *Congrats* Saifuddin was also missing from the championship as his family was busy preparing for their cousin's wedding.
In the PS3 Pro Evo Soccer category, Abdul Muiz Ismail defied the odds by beating favourite Hasher (Hilmi Shah) 5-4 in a thrilling finale despite playing with one man less. Strangely enough Hasher played with AC Milan and he has yet to achieve the top prize in the BCG, finishing 1st runner-up on many occasions *correct me if I'm wrong* Third place went to young, talented player Md Elmi Shahri Hj Osman.
In the PS2 Pro Evo Soccer category, Md Basri won his first championship as well after beating an experienced player Efra Effendi who also made his solo final in PES competition. Efra, known for his tag-team credentials with Yusra, lost 2-0 to eventual champion Md Basri. Saifullah finished 3rd in the category.
In the RockBand 2 category, The Covers retained their championship and almost lost the semi-finals by the closest of margin to Nightlife Commandos who finished third in the tournament. Emanon came 2nd in the final round of RockBand 2.
In the Call of Duty (PS3) category, Hasher may have come 2nd place in PES 2009 but he was crowned champion in COD 4 with Wafy and Md Hafizuddin coming 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
Thanks to Baiduri Bank for being the major sponsor of the event and also to Panacom for lending the 20 units of their Philips TV once again for the consumer fair. Thanks also to Seri Kandi Restaurant for sponsoring the meals for the officials and also to Aewon Garment and Embroidery for the caps and the jackets. And thanks to Pelangi FM for the promo and the announcement on the radio.
