The e-Games WCG National Finals was held last week. My mate sent me that link a week ago and I thought I’d give it a visit to witness the Australia finesse teams in battle especially my long time favourites Call of Duty and Counter Strike (1.6 unfortunately).

Date: 8th to 9th August… check!
Location: Luna Park… check!
My camera: Fully charged…check!
Everything is ready to go!

On Saturday, I took a tram all the way to St Kilda and reached there by afternoon. Grabbed a bite and to the gaming galore I headed. Woohoo!

Nothing there. wtf?

I walked around the Luna Park and pry every inch of the place and I spotted no young teen gamers. I quickly turned on my mobile internet and accessed the WCG website again.

“In Australia, the WCG National Final is slated to take place 8th, 9th and 10th of August at the ‘home of fun’ Sydney’s Luna Park“

OMG! It was Sydney’s Luna Park, not Melbourne’s. The stupid picture (Luna Park entrance) made me think it’s in Melbourne and I missed the the first two words in the venue.

Lesson learned: Read carefully. Pictures and short descriptions can be deceiving.
