THE REGION OF GAMERS
A world of passion, a world far away from reality, which seems more real than reality. The same spirit was there on the floor of Galgotias Campus One when more than 380 players filled their participation forms for different categories. This was the greatest number of participants in any of the events, taking place under the flag of our University Fest the G-Quasar.
The glory of making this event a grand success was shared by many, but the flag bearer was Lehri Malik, the chief coordinator of all the events of FRAG. Money is a necessary thing for every event of this reputation, and if sponsors like Steel Series, a Multi-National Company, comes forward to ’sponsor’ the gaming equipment, the enthusiasm level of the organizers and the participants rises all the more high. The games under FRAG were:
CoD (Call of Duty): A game based on army combat- a real thriller - and the winner under this category was Shubham Kanojia, a student from Delhi University.
Counter Strike: The game, reputed to give gamers sleepless nights, was a hit at G-Quasar and saw tough competition. The winner of this game was a team named Lions with team members Vaibhav, Tushar and Gaurav.
DOTA: A strategy game which can teach lessons in planning not only in the virtual world but also in the real world, also saw a good number of participation. The first prize in this series went to a group named Crazy.
NFS: The name stands for need for speed, of course not needed to be mentioned, the most common racing game. The fastest racer was Shivam Singh.
FIFA: No gamer is complete without playing this game on his playstation. In G-Quasar this gave the real feel of the field. The winner in this field was Astitva from GNIT.
All these games were held in different computer labs of the Galgotias Group of Institutions, Campus 1 and all ended with prize distribution on the main stage of G-Quasar. The event was real and rare soul food for a gamer whose religion is games. It really looked like a region of gaming. By: Vikash, B.Tech (CSE)
