WCG 2009 Pakistan Finals: A Reality or a Dream

After setting new standards for WCG National Finals last year, Wateen™ then & now Strategic Partner is still in the process to announce the event in Pakistan. It seems like this year’s event might not be as good as earlier edition. Recession & financial restrictions might cut back on Wateen™ budget.

The reality says that the situation is not that good even the management says that. It was once quoted that this year’s WCG National Finals has 20:80 chances, with 20% chances of WCG being organized.

Gamerrang Ramzan Challenge 2009

In the history of Pakistani gaming Play TV™ & WiredUp™ Gaming came together to produce first ever cyber gaming TV show "Gamerrang Ramazan Challenge". Gamerrang Challenge is just another version of Championship Gaming Series (CGS) but with a slight difference. Four audition tournaments were held at four different zonal gaming zones of Karachi, for Counter-Strike 1.6. Top 12 teams qualified for the final rounds held at WiredUp™ Gaming.

This effort showed the true dedication, hard work & passion of professional gamers. It was so expected from this tournament to create a better image of gaming in front of society, organizations & media so that gaming could be recognized well here. No doubt Pakistan has a huge volume of gamers including some of the best which got all the potential to upset any international team. Not only this it was also witnessed that none of the past cyber gaming tournaments or events whether WCG National Finals or ESWC Qualifiers had game casters but Gamerrang Challenge became the first one to introduce this side of gaming events in Pakistan as well.
