With eight medals, including three gold ones, South Korea is the winning country of the 2009 World Cyber Games.

South Korea had been the winner in Cologne and confirmed its strong position in the gaming industry this year in Chengdu, even picking up one more medals than in 2008.

The hosting country, China, managed to collect just two medals, one gold and one silver, both of which came from the Warcraft III tournament, where the Chinese players were highly favoured for places on the podium.

The winning nation for Counter-Strike, Poland, also picked up a bronze medal in the FIFA 09 competition, while Sweden's other two medals came from Trackmania.

Enough with these whack Consol games and Carom 3D. Put more prize money into the games that make WCG what it is. Just my opinion tho. They should just have four games; CS, WoW, SC and FIFA.
2009-11-15 11:25:22
wow over wc3?
2009-11-15 11:32:52

because if there was only 1 korean player, he would have reached all 3 top places.

The Rankings here are wrong here on HLTV.

Japan is not on second.

it seems that the WCG ranking is wrong. and if you look at it, you can see that. there were 12 competitions, and yet there are only 9 gold, silver and bronze medals. I wonder where the other 3 went... I counted the 12 official WCG competitions.

No Mira the WCG Ranking is right because Dungeon and Fighter is a Promotion Game and because its only open for asia so it doesnt count because it would be unfair to other countries.

1.Korea
2.Sweden
3.Germany
2009-11-15 14:27:17
Oh I see, thanks
2009-11-15 15:14:01

shouldn't Germany be 1-1-1 ?
2009-11-15 16:42:08
Yes. i already mentioned it. the bronze is missing.
2009-11-15 17:33:20
they should bring in some more games!
UT3/COD/CSS/HAlO/GoW/PGR/etc
2009-11-15 18:06:29
WCG is founded and managed by Koreans, if they brought these games in, they wouldn't win any medal ranking :)
2009-11-15 18:40:56
caiomenudo13 = 14 years :]
2009-11-15 18:33:19
Koreans shouldn't be so proud because they have been beaten in WC3 big time, and it seems they have kind of lost lead in one of their most important games. Because who cares about carom and redstone ?

Btw. Anyone noticed, that red stone had only 3 competitors ? I LOLed XD

For me it's China which is most upcoming. They rule now in WC3 and they have their CS teams doing better and better over the years.
2009-11-15 18:46:26
in average korea and germany are the top nations in esports in WCG History but the only nation i can see rising is china.
2009-11-15 19:43:43
where is the demom of the cs final ? plz some1 upload it. :(
2009-11-16 03:01:38
