page 1: Introduction and history of the World Cyber Games
Because the World Cyber Games Belgium qualifier is fast approaching, and our presence at the event will be quite large, I decided to do a little article on the World Cyber Games, the Belgian qualifier and the Samsung Battle of the Sexes which will take place at the same time.

Do we get a free drink perhaps? Just a glass of champagne is good enough to satisfy our needs. Nothing more, nothing less. |
