Update #1:
Just received some infomation of The Titans, they were invited to WEG2005 but are unable to attend because they have some members still attending school which is very important, I hope in the summer they can attend once their school is finished, a big shame we won't see The Titans doing damage.

Go NoA ! !
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they end up third @ CPL Summer beating SK.swe in the battle of third price?
And Zacard and Spirit_Moon(if he qual.) will rock @ wc3
Great for the gaming scene btw. GOGO KOREA
something to remember is that it was cz and not cs 1.6 that was played at wcg this year.
So, really a big surprise that the most-popular game of that country is not part of WEG :(
I'd have liked to see "Slayers_BoxerS" in action again^^
gee GEE
it should be a 1.7 instead of source, if u all know waht i mean :)
but good luck NoA!
but anyway, this tournament look great with impressive cash price !!
