The Malta Cyber Series#3 - Back to Basics - Recap

The third edition of the Malta Cyber Series was assigned a specific theme - a nostalgic one. Not only did it see the return of the classic FPS game, Call of Duty 2, but it also brought with it tons of old school gamers. Entitled The Malta Cyber Series #3 - Back to Basics, the event also held a League of Legends tournament. With over 120 participants brought together for one purpose - a weekend of fun, laughter and competition! Hosted at the Luzzu Conference Hall at Seashells Resort, all participating teams were given a schedule to follow, having games to play with different opponents at different times of the days.

Through teamwork, will and determination, different teams climbed to the top until they were to play the final game that would decide the winner of the event. With Paradigm6 earning first place in The Call of Duty 2 Gold Tournament after their tough grand final against their rivals dOUBTFUL with a score of 3:2. The Call of Duty 2 Silver Tournament was won by Team Xploze who overcame Xynoptic in the grand final. EVH held on to their streak and title once again after winning against Raving Raptors in The KFC League of Legends Tournament.

On Saturday we saw Christian Spiteri winning yet another FIFA tournament after beating Gianluca Sant and racking up an impressive total of 9 tournament wins to date! All winners and runner-ups were given great prizes for their effort and show of skill. Once again, this event portrayed the ampful talent of the local players within the esports scenario.

Judging from the positive behaviour of all the participants as well as the staff during the event (with some of the latter also having the opportunity to participate once again in the Call of Duty 2 tournament), as well as the constructive and optimistic feedback right after, the event was an incredible success. Not only could participants start the day with a delicious breakfast offered at the same location, but also enjoy an impressive BBQ on Saturday night. All this made the event special and one to remember, while also leaving all the participants eager and excited for the next one!
