World Cyber Games tournament in New York

The World Cyber Games held their US Open video game tournament last week in New York. The two-day event had 68 competitors waging (hyperbole alert) fierce and epic battle for $20,000 in cash and prizes. Players competed in nine different games (titles and winners after the break).

We overheard that one of the most entertaining parts of the event was the coach for team MoB competing in Gears of War. Their "coach," Godfath3r, was apparently intense and entertaining to watch; when they played, the whole place would gather around and watch the show as Godfath3r paced back and forth behind his players, shouting at his team to help out -- and at the other team to trash talk. Some highlights include:

• "You CANNOT Handle THIS!" - 'We are the Number One team in this place."
• "He is hurt finish him, kill him, kill him, kill him!!!!"
• "Get SOME!!," said at the end of the match and followed by, "Go shake their hands!"

Anybody got the video? Screaming video gamers are always amusing. Especially when they're being serious.
