Remember years ago when GBR took on ELM, won the match, and with a blink of an eye became one of the top Counter-Strike clans in Singapore?

History never fails to repeat itself and this time gameSENSE rose victorious from no-where (well, at least I’ve never heard of them). Yesterday, during the WCG 2009, Asian Championship, Singapore National Finals, they were crowned Singapore’s new Counter-Strike 1.6 champions!

According to a new piece from GameSync,

The first half on de_inferno that ended 8-7 in favour of gameSENSE was a tense affair, with neither team gaining a clear advantage. However, gameSENSE was able to read RageFaction’s tactics in the second half and pulled ahead 8-2 to take the match and the tournament 16-9.

gameSENSE’s team leader Daryl “Ins” Chua said,

“It was close in the beginning, but as we managed to increase the score margin it became slightly more relaxed.”

Here are the results of the various rounds (compliments of GameSync).

Will updates the rest later (by later, it’s probably going to be tomorrow or something). Need to meet up with Priss’s Team Fortress 2 (1st runner up for WCG Singapore 2009) team before they fly back to Malaysia, go for exams, and watch a movie (hopefully) tonight.

PS: I think I have some photos… Will go through my camera and upload it later.
