The MBM LANPARTY After Party Recap.
It was definitely a challenge. The MBM Lan Party successfully culminated last Aug 24, 5am. Well, we had to cut it short from the previously planned 8am to trim down on expenses none the less, it was a success! Kudos to everyone who helped organize this first ever , the Biggest in the Philippines LAN PARTY.
Our goal was 1,000 techies in one roof, a combination of around 500 gamers and viewers. .
We Achieved 1400+, about 500 gamers and 9 viewers.

The last COD4 battle ended at around 4am. Awarding Ceremony began at around 3am for the DOTA and COUNTER STRIKE tourneys which finished earlier. More than 100,000.000 in prizes were given away.

The Overclocking Competition
As for the OC competition, for me both of them had really good Overclocks. It would be nice, if in the future, Sponsors could provide rigs ready to be Overclocked, companies like ASUS or Gigabyte etc.. but in the meantime its an investment the end users have to make for Fame, Glory and a Kick Ass prize from Silverstone, an ST1000 Modular PSU to be exact worth about 11k. I commend Ryan and BO for joining. They were willing to show and share to the world their skills. They are good examples of great CEBUANO enthusiasts. I know there are more of them out there, next time, hopefully with more contestants, we can separate AIR and Watercooling and we will also have different types like BREAKING GIG BARRIERS, SPEED and CRUNCHING JUNKIES, VIDEO CARD BENCHIES etc.. This was the second ever PUBLIC OC Competition in CEBU the first being around 6 years ago at Mango Square at an ARCtech event there. I think OC GAIN is the safest OC competition since it just shows how much percentage you have OC'D your system which is the true essentials of Overclocking.

The FU Challenge Booth
Warcraft and Starcraft fans of all ages were there challenging our WCG champions guests. It was fun to watch these players go at it as they aim to win. I was surprised to see even Vice Mayor Mic MIc Miranda there as he was also one of the WCG players and all these champs were buddies of his. This Just goes to show that gaming is a sport for everyone.
On the back of the challenge booth, Fine Upgrades also showcased the latest and the Greatest Gaming Gear available in the Philippines and in CEBU! They also helped educate the people who asked about how to assemble the right PC that is built to last for a long time. Since they do not sell directly to end users, all interested inquiries were forwarded to their resellers. For more information about them visit www.fineupgrades.com


Play Station Portable

The PSP group had their awarding Ceremony Early in the evening, they were there the whole time playing KILLZONE and we commend them for joining as well. I spoke with sir NEOS and he told me for sure during the next LP he will put up his shop there and make sure there will be a bigger tournament for PSP, PS3, Xbox etc.. Cant wait for that!

Cebu RC Drifters
A big Thank you also to the very COOL RC DRIFTERS group, while PC gamers were fraggin, they were draggin! I never thought drifting could ever be converted into remote controls, man! they’ve though of everything, Indeed another proof that gaming, whether it be computer games or remote control cars are definitely for Children of all Ages, from 7-50 years of age and some even more!
EGAMES
And of course EGAMES, the LP wouldn’t have been the same without them. Online gamers are really growing, they had about 300+ attendees there! The Lan Party Wouldn’t have been the same without them.
