CDC3: The Warsow Gallery (7 comments)

Event: CDC3

Crossfire's Devotii Challenge 3 hosted the first every major money LAN for Warsow in Europe (can't overlook the E-Sports Stadium 2007 Series in Japan). This event was the perfect oppurtunity for the Warsow community to meet. CDC3 attracted crazy sowians from all over, we've had a car from Sweden, someone from Denmark, people from Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, they were coming from all over to show their support and celebrate this first event.

We had a fair amount of devteam members on the spot, long time contributors, and highskill players, all staying in Enschede in one cabin. It was a weekend of alcohol abuse, highskilled Warsow duels all day, hangovers and early games. Here is an outtake of the Warsownews.net photogallery! Much love and respect to crossfire, TosspoT, the Warsow players, and everyone who made this CDC3 possible!

Event: WSVG'07

I went to WSVG Toronto in the end of August and here are some picures I took at the event, in Toronto and at the Niagra Falls. Yeah the Niagra Falls has nothing to do with gaming, but I was there during my stay in Canada and the falls cool. ;)

I just got a new camera and I'm not used to use it in dark enviorments yet, that's why some pics are a bit blurry. Gonna work on that. Hope you enjoy anyway. :)
