USA, Korea, and Netherlands Winners at Cyber Games

An anonymous reader writes "CNN is carrying a story about Team USA's win at the World Cyber Games. Amid fanfare fit for actual world-class athletes, five Americans with really quick fingers took home the gold medal in the popular "Counter Strike" competition of the World Cyber Games championships, capping five days of intense gaming by the world's elite." The US team came away with two golds and a bronze, third overall. Congrats also to South Korea, second overall, and the Netherlands who came in first in the medal tally. The BBC also has coverage of the event's results.

For HLTV demos of the CS:CZ competition (probably either the top or 2nd to Starcraft competition, in terms of popularity). USA's team, Team 3D won. Nobody expected them to, and they really showed the world that they are back :)

You need to register a free account I think to download them...

I don't know where you can get movie files of the event sorry :(

Don't think there are any videos, but your best bet would be to grab the replay files [worldcybergames.com] (weird "seems to only work in IE" registration required) and load it into the games.

I attended the Starcraft, Warcraft and CS finals and they were pretty exciting to watch. Although, with only one screen on the starcraft and warcraft, the observers sometimes missed some action. Even on the CS finals, they had one screen devoted to the overhead map and one screen rotating between players, but they missed some really awesome kills when there was a lot of action going on. That's probably why the replay files would be better than video since you can control the camera. The only hitch is having all the games needed to watch the replays.
