Dragon won by ghosting?

World e-Sports Masters kicked off today in Hangzhou, China – Victories for mTw, mousesports and Dragon.

The first day at the World e-Sports Masters kicked off with Warcraft 3, the Counter-Strike 1.6 teams should enter the tournament in the evening. Opening the Counter-Strike tournament should be the Chinese hope from wNv, taking on the Danes from mTw. The Chinese did however not stand a chance against the KODE5 and ESWC Masters champions. The Danes won their first group stage match with 16:5 and will tomorrow be facing e-STRO.

Third match of the day should be SK Gaming taking on e-STRO in the second match of group A. The two met last time at the ESWC 2008 grand finals, where the Koreans could close a win against the Swedes with a 16:11 win. The Swedes did not get a win this time neither as the teams tied up 15:15, splitting the points.

Last match of the day saw MYM taking on Dragon. A match that MYM should be able to win, without too much trouble. The match did however not go as 97% users on the site predicted. MYM ran into a offensive terrorist play from Dragon on train, who won the first half with 11:4. Even though MYM was able to play a decent terrorist side, it was simply not enough, as Dragon got the five needed rounds to secure a 16:12 victory.

The Chinese did however receive a warning during the first half, due to ghosting. Here is what MYM manager Ronnie “TwAizZ” Jelsbak said after that match:

"Well, really bad experience today playing Dragon, unfortunately the stage is made in a way, so when you are sitting in front, and looking back on your own players behind you, you can see the 2 players from the other team sitting on top, and several times I caught 2 of the Dragon players looking at our 2 top screens, and giving info, which was not all. Several of the players took off their headphones when they died, so they could hear the Chinese commentators, and still give info to their team mates. After complaining about it 3 or 4 times in the first half, finally the admins saw it for them self and gave Dragon a warning, but unfortunately it was too late for us to get back in the game." 

Tomorrow the second round of the group stage will be played, once again with a total of four matches.

Note that there will NOT be any HLTV available. The WEM organization will not allow us to connect HLTV's and broadcast the matches. We however choose to make the matchpages, so you guys can bet and discuss the matches as always.
Instead of HLTV there will be some livestreams, we will do our best to include the livestreams here on our page. If that is not possible, we will link to them from here.

We will update our coverage section with results and standings during the entire event, and should demos be released by the organizers, we will add them right away.
