Berzerk! and Morpo at WCG Ballarat

Posted by: Racs-MC



Sydney Underground Pro players Daniel "Berzerk!" Chlebowczyk and Dale "MORPO" Baker have shown their gaming savvy in winning WCG qualifier tournaments this weekend.

Participating in the World Cyber Games qualifier for Virtua Fighter 5 and Project Gotham Racing 4, respectively, Berzerk and Morpo each made the trip to Ballarat - an 8hr drive for Morpo - where play was held as part of the annual Get into Games festival with big support from the games industry and local government.

Gamers showed up to qualify for a variety of games including Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero 3, as well as PGR4 and VF5 alongside many sideline tournaments and stage events.

The Sydney Underground players quickly showed their ability to push themselves in differing gaming disciplines to their CGS games, a major task.

MORPO, having been concentrating on Forza Motorsports 2, went back to old favourite Project Gotham Racing with little to no practice to come away with a tight win, commenting that the second place player was as fast as anyone he'd seen, but his experience under pressure saw him through.

Playing cool also served Berzerk as he romped undefeated through the Virtua Fighter 5 bracket, adjusting well to a few close calls from tough opponents in the semis. Berzerk noted he only recently felt things were clicking for him in Virtua Fighter, with a character change days before the event helping him to adjust to the distinct fighting system of VF, to put him over the top.

Both players have earned a finals berth at the Sydney qualifier for World Cyber Games Pan Asia, which will decide who represents Australia in Singapore later in the year.

How can you even complain, I don't remember our region having a training camp or an actual playing season.

NA players have it so good compared to other regions and they want more lol.

I'm back ladies! Thanks for the 24 hour holiday! Is Berzerk the grandma of the team? How is Morpo our spelling bee champion going today? What an ugly pair of mugs! lol

I guess I should expect another lockout when I try to login next, my heart bleeds...

Yeah, 24 hour ban after Berzerk started throwing his weight around. Didn't abuse anyone as I was accused of doing, didn't swear.... Might have been critical of one individual's woeful spelling but I can't think of anything that should warrant a ban.

Geez, that Berzerk fella looks like hes goin on 50! Time for some wrinkle cream!

Ohhh come on, geez the moderators on here are as serious as a heart attack aren't they?! My post didn't relate to WCG any less than any of the other posts in this thread. I guess I should get used to this treatment hahaha...

I think the post mod is related to whether US players can go to WCG events which is unrelated and I guess still being sorted out.

Maybe that part of it could have been edited and the rest left, I forget what else I said. Jimmy, I didn't throw any weight around, I just told you where your ship seemed to be sailing - looks like it turned out to be the case.

I can see you're not interested in improving your input to the site. How's your grandma since I saw her?

Good one mate, keep stooping down to my level. You're the one representing Sydney Underground Grandma, not me. I would have thought the best way to go about dealing me would have been to ignore me in the hope that I would go away. Don't worry, I dont expect that sort of lateral thinking of you anyway.
