While some may not agree with the misleading trap I set for potential voters, the competition was basically an online popularity contest and i’m pretty sure that trito did deserve all those votes as she was clearly the most seasoned professional of the bunch.

The prize for the regional winners was supposed to be some hardware from GIGABYTE. Voting was supposed to end by the end of July or August, but we’re well into November now and the website hasn’t changed at all. No information has been given to the “winners” and no further information on the website has been released. Furthermore, there was also supposed to be a second round of voting, with each winner from each region to become the ultimate gaming girl… or something.

I know that economic times are tough but if they wanted to pull a marketing stunt like this at least they should keep people updated. Apparently they are not responding to emails from the contestants themselves either. Shady!

Last season featured a gaggle of randoms and one guy who actually played on a professional level from CGS, the ever-entertaining Adande “sWooZie” Thorne. The rest of the cast was some chick called Starslayer who claimed to be a Guitar Hero pro but all I ever saw her do was cry and make drama. Then there were some chicks from the Frag Dolls, some guy with some crazy contacts and a guy who claimed to be the Madden champion of his Fraternity. Made for only entertainment, the network could have at least got a bunch of gamers who have played on a real professional level and know what it takes to reach it if they are going to represent “the olympics of video gaming”. Fatal1ty wasn’t available? He would have been a better choice than some of the people from last season.

Anyway a little birdie told me that Season 2 will feature another CGS ex-pro. This one I might actually watch the episodes for the entertainment and potential hilarity that this player could bring. Can you guess who it could be?
