Time Warp: Australian eSports from 2003

I was feeling a little nostalgic and came across this article from 5 years ago. It's WCG 2006 - incidentally - at the Gold Coast Convention Center where the WCG 2011 finals will be held in just over 2 weeks from now. You'll notice a lot of familiar names and a lot of unfamiliar hair styles. Is that aLt.Ninja? Nope, that's Dox with a baby face and long hair.

WCG 2006 Australia Qualifers by
JacziE

The WCG Australia Qualifers concluded this weekend with 96.GLaDe taking the victory over some very fierce competition. A late surprise entry by (German Pro) SK.Fire_de, who happened to have a dual citizenship and in the country for holidays, caused many a worry to the Aussie players present. Fortunately the AU powerhouses GLaDe and Philbot were once again able to show they can compete with the rest of the world and were able to knock him out in some tight games.

** Replays of notable games are uploaded separately from the replay pack.

» I just realised that on Day 1 of War3Live, we interviewed one of the quarter finalists at the Korean WCG WarCraft 3 qualifiers - David Kim. The interview article was titled, Dayvie, next Korean progamer? Unfortunately I can't retrieve more than one sentence from it as it requires a login to view, and since the site isn't around any longer, that's not possible. So much for becoming the next Korean progamer! Instead he joined Blizzard's balance team, hehe.
