a very dissapointing show by the organisers.that is what i can say here about this messy event.

me and ma frnz arrived thereto just get shocked by the config of the systems where even CS 1. lagged and cldn manage more than 50 fps. the computers sucked and the lan was equally worse.

the next blow was that the organisers had no idea about how the gaming event has to be conducted.they put thier own random rules and all bull**** ideas.

hey folks this is just an overview of the igc09 nfs game conducted at the hyderabad -somajiguda gameplex on 4th-5th feb'09.

i first filled in the registration form in the second week of january and finally after 3 weeks i got a call from the zapak admins that i have my match on 4th feb-09.fine with that and i went at1 o clok .the scheduled time was 12 and still there was no sign of any games going on even at 1 o clok.the reason is that there are no completed profiles for playing the tourney and the best joke was that the cafe manager himself didnt have the admin password and thus we were stuck in there for more than 30 mins without doing anything.

 

the first thing that i would like to say is the snist people are making gaming events as a business to rake up good amount of money and fill their pockets where the organisers are playin an active part and it would not be surprising if even the management also has a hand to that.

the first thing tht was surprising was the py-n-play system where a person pays Rs30 and playes an hour but then this is not a part of tournament.for the actual tourney the registration fee is separate again Rs50.the players who register for the tourney also have to pay Rs30 for practising.in this manner the organisers raked up a gud amont amount of money.

 

In the past few months i have been to many gaming tournaments but then i never got a chance to play the real stalwarts of the NFS.So it was my dream to play and win at BITS-GOA.

 

The tech fest of bits-goa named as QUARK-09 was held on 7th-9th feb'09.Along with my frns I reached there on 7th and tht eve itself I had my first match of the first round. I won comfortably and proceeded to the next game.On total there were around 160+ participants for NFS-MW.
