Warcraft3:TFT Featured Map: Fufu United Ninja All-Stars

Hyped as one of the remaining Warcraft 3: TFT custom maps with a fast growing fanbase in and around Asia, Fufu United Ninja All-Stars(also known as FUN or FUFU) is a free-for-all one-hit-one-kill type of map wherein 12 ninjas/players hunt and hide from each other.

A player can choose between 4 types of Ninjas:

Fufu Panda Ninja Warrior
Fufu Tricky-T Ninja Vampire
Fufu Ninja Infiltrator
Fufu TreeTag Ninja

There are no allies in this game. It's a gritty fast-paced game wherein the first one to reach the set number of kills (usually 50 in tournaments) wins. Games usually last a mere 5 to 10 minutes and is an excellent warm-up filler between DotA matches among various clans.
Since this game emphasizes individual skills, excelling on this game takes good hand-eye coordination, great instincts and timing into account. Fufu United Ninja All-Stars has an increasing popularity in Asia and gaining acceptance around the world. Tournaments abound particularly in Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India and the Philippines. Most of the pioneer Fufu players play on the GARENA platform where competitive Fufu is quickly on the rise.

PC Game: StarCraft

No other PC game has revolutionized e-sports at a level that Starcraft has. Touted as the best RTS (real-time strategy) game ever created, Starcraft redefined the genre itself when it was released back in 1998. With the game balance getting comparisons to the boardgame, Chess, Starcraft quickly sold millions of copies around the world. South Korea brought it further by having professional Starcraft games broadcasted on television. Unlike other RTS games, Starcraft always provides great and intense matches that any spectator can appreciate. This is the reason why Starcraft was the very first game to be included in the World Cyber Games.
