Level Up LIVE 2008 is just around the corner. Almost everyone here in the office find themselves buried with work preparing for the biggest online gaming event of the year. It’s amazing how vibrant, colorful, and alive the online gaming community is in the Philippines. Gaming really is much more than just the “games” – it’s about the social aspect as well. Personally I’ve made so many friends through Ragnarok and it never ceases to amaze me how fast your network expands when you start meeting gamers in person. Anyway, that aside, I was thinking on how big this year’s event will be.
The Ragnarok World Championships 2008
The Ragnarok World Championships is the main event for this year’s LIVE. 12 teams from more than 20 countries will be battling it out to determine who will be crowned the best Ragnarok gamer in the entire globe. Note that when you win this tournament, you literally are the best in the game, period. On October 4, we’ll be having the Ragnarok Philippine Championships to determine the Philippine Team. The top 8 teams in the country will clash so that we can finally find out who will be carrying our country’s flag come October 18-19.
For the winning team, the pressure will be really something else. Yes, we’ll have a bit of an advantage because we’ll be playing in our home turf. This means that the crowd will be cheering for the Philippine team as they take the stage to do battle. However, this also means that losing might take a toll on the competitors. I just pray that the Philippine Team really does their best so they won’t have any regrets – win or lose.
One Hell of a Party
Level Up LIVE is also not just about tournaments – it’s a big venue for guilds and friends to rediscover one another. That’s why we have a lot of side activities lined up for everyone! Don’t just sit and watch the games. Move around, meet people, and try all the activities. Visit the Level Up Town and check out the various guild booths! Of course I encourage all of you to visit all the booths of our sponsors as well since LIVE wouldn’t be possible without their support.
Like last year, we will also be having a game trial booth. We’ll have a lot of computers set-up so you can play your favorite game while waiting for the match that you want to watch. Note that we will also be offering the public the chance to try out Grand Chase! We’ll have several PCs installed with the latest new game that will be launched by Level Up sometime in October – November. If you haven’t signed up yet for CBT, please head on over to the official Grand Chase website and do so. Grand Chase will be one of the biggest things to hit the country and I’m really excited for the game and for the community.
I’ll end this post with an invitation for everyone to come and visit Level Up LIVE 2008 on October 18-19 at the World Trade Center! Support your country and be there to witness history in the making! It will be one huge party and every gamer has to experience LIVE at least once in their lifetime (LOL). Cheers and I hope all of you have a good weekend!

@SPY: There will be more guards deployed this year due to the fact that we have a lot of international guests flying from all over the world. Complete tayo – PNP, Bomb Squad, etc.
:heh:
Wauks on September 26, 2008
@Judicator: Because some teams will be composed of several countries. For example – team Europe.

My sister was brave enough to join the Cosplay contest last LU Live 2007. It was fun but was plagued by scheduling issues, misinformation and mismanagement of time. This time around my sister and I thought that it’ll be fun to go as a group and managed to convince me, our younger brother and two of her friends to dawn some costumes and join her for a round of Cosplay. I hope that Cosplay will go better for us this time around.
