Greaver 3 Report post Posted January 29, 2012 asiafortress preface - Hi everyone I'm Greaver and I do a weekly news segment for ozfortress and nzfortress, I will be cross posting it here for those who find it interesting and while it is aimed at the ozfortress community there should be plenty of interesting news for everyone so chuck me some feedback below. The Sydney Gamers League held SGL6 LAN this weekend at the Rosehill Gardens Exhibition Center which provided a 4000 square meter air conditioned complex for hundreds of gamers to invade. ozfortress was out in force with multiple teams signing up for some tight lan action culminating in an epic grand final, you can catch the live casts courtesy of Gamestah here and there will be high-def post produced VoDs available on GreaverTV in the coming days for those who couldn't attend. --- Kritzkast has taken an active interest in Australasian TF2 lately and our very own wm spent more an hour being interviewed by our friends at Kritzkast last week. During the interview they covered all sorts of topics applicable to Australasian TF2 in general and spent a long time talking about ozfortress itself and the role it plays both in Australasia and the international stage - it is an extremely interesting interview with many a laugh too so make sure you check it out. Shoutout to wm for stepping up for an interview with a news show that gets up to 20,000 views each week!
