Level Up Live 2009 Group Cosplay: Orc Hero
There were more Group Cosplay participants this year compared to the previous Level Up Live events that I’ve attended. One of my favorites was the Ragnarok Online Orc Hero Cosplay. The acting wasn’t really too good but at least it was pretty entertaining. I also loved how much effort, creativity, and innovation the guys had in making their costumes.
The scene starts with two knights flirting with one another.
Then apparently some Assassin Cross comes in and lures the Orc Hero to the unsuspecting party. The Orc Hero literally goes on a rampage and goes ballistic on the party.
The party is engaged in a brutal fight with the Orc Hero.
Eventually thought they manage to take it down and they even get a Orc Hero Helmet! 
Again, good job to this Cosplay Group! There are definitely some things that can still be improved but it was a very good effort.

Level Up Live 2009 Cosplay Pics: The One Who Made Everyone’s Head Turn
Level Up Live 2009 Cosplay also wouldn’t be complete unless someone really stuck out and got everyone’s attention. One of last year’s cosplay superstars made a stellar comeback. Wearing a well-crafted and body hugging violet costume, she gracefully walked up the stage. Noise was already starting to build up while she was doing the walk. However when she turned around, the entire World Trade Center almost shook and trembled as the crowd cheered one of the loudest cheers I’ve heard in the longest time.
Want to know why? Here are some of the pictures that was taken of her:
And here’s what made everyone get off their feet:
There you have it. x.x

These videos were recently posted on the Level Up Youtube channel and I wanted to share it with everyone here. In the following clips you’ll see the highly anticipated match between Team Philippines and Team USA. As most of you know by now, Team USA was made up of mostly Fil-Ams from the guild called JOLOGS in iRO. Team PH was composed of members of Influenza, also known as Coerce in New Chaos server.
Enjoy the vids! I’ll post the new ones as soon as they become available.
ROUND 1: PHILIPPINES VERSUS USA
ROUND 2: PHILIPPINES VERSUS USA
Just some notes:
-GM Garamond is better in counting down matches.
-Team PH played a really good game. Very strategic. They used the map to their advantage.
-Parang wala masyado nag cheer? Mas masaya siguro sa Level Up Live noh?
Congratulations again to Team Pilipinas! You guys made us all proud.

RWC 2009: Team Philippines in the FINALS against Japan! (Updated)
For the first time in gaming history, Team Philippines is now in the finals of the Ragnarok World Championships! Team PH beat USA in a fast-paced and strategic battle. According to Level Up Marketing Director Jake San Diego, the fight was tricky because the map was a bit complicated. However they were able to pull off a win. This sets us up for an epic battle with the winner of the next fight in the opposite bracket. I have a strong feeling we will be up against Team Thailand though and that definitely will be a tough challenge!
Let’s all continue to pray and cheer Team Philippines! This is the closest we’ve ever been to brining home the gold and I’m really excited that this is finally “IT”! LABAN TEAM PILIPINAS!!!!
UPDATE:
This just in. JAPAN pulled off a massive upset, defeating back-to-back champions THAILAND! It looks like the home court advantage gave Japan a good boost. The final stage is now set… it’s TEAM PHILIPPINES VERSUS TEAM JAPAN FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE!!!
LABAN TEAM PILIPINAS!!!

RWC 2009 Update: Team Thailand still a PVP Monster
This just in from Level Up Marketing Jake San Diego who’s currently covering the Ragnarok World Championships 2009 tournament in Japan. Back-to-back Champions Team Thailand is still a force to be reckoned with as they literally dominated Team Korea, wiping them out 2-0. Using their trademark fast-paced attack strat, they prove in this battle that they’re still at the top of their game and they want a three-peat!
Next match is Philippines versus USA. Hopefully our team comes out on top! Let’s all root and pray for them.

RWC 2009: Philippines beats Germany
Thank God for mobile internet! Hahaha! My former boss, Level Up Marketing Director Jake San Diego, is updating us on what’s happening in Japan (Ragnarok World Championships 2009) through his BlackBerry phone. I’m happy to let everyone know that Team Philippines was able to beat Team Germany and they will be advancing to the Semi-Finals! On the other hand we have Team USA, who also has Filipino members, beating Team Brazil. This sets us up for a Filipino-Filipino Amercian duel in the Semis!
On the other side of the bracket, Japan just beat team Vietnam. The next match is between last year’s finalists – Thailand and South Korea. This promises to be a blockbuster battle since both teams are known to be insanely good at Ragnarok PVP.
Here’s a picture of Team Philippines:
Good luck guys! We’re rooting for ya’!

RWC 2009 Update: Team USA has Filipino roots!
I’m currently following the Facebook updates being done by my former boss, Level Up Marketing Director Jake San Diego, about the RWC 2009 Welcoming Party at Japan. One of his most recent posts is a set of pictures with Team USA. He was surprised that the members of Team USA actually said “MAGANDANG GABI” to greet them. After checking the pics out, there’s really no surprise. Why? Because Filipinos are actually party of Team USA! Hahahaha! One was even wearing the infamous 3 stars and a sun shirt! Before this picture was taken, he also had something emblazoned on his ID: PILIPINAS. REPRESENT!!! Hahahaha! Now I’m cheering for Team Philippines, Team USA, and Team Brazil! Woooooooooooo!
Last year, Team Philippines also had some Philippine blood in the team through Lana Anderson. She was such a huge hit back then and she was able to charm most of the crowd with her playful and sweet mannerisms. Of course no one was able to actually make a move since she was with her boyfriend for the entire trip, haha!
Anyway, this just goes to show that even in gaming, Filipinos are a force to be reckoned with. Let’s all cheer and root for Team Philippines in the coming days! Bring home the gold guys!
Here’s a complete picture of Team USA. They don’t really look American to me, haha!
LABAN TEAM PILIPINAS!

RWC 2009 Match-ups
I know I’m no longer connected to Level Up but I’m still eagerly following the Ragnarok World Championships 2009. Let’s all pray for the success of Team Philippines so that they can finally bring home the gold this time around. Anyway, my former boss, Jake San Diego, is uploading mobile pictures via Facebook and I’m re-posting them here. He’s uploaded the picture of the match-ups for 2009 and we have a very interesting road ahead of us for the next two days.
The good news is that we don’t have to fight in the first round! Another good development is that we’re not on the same bracket as Ragnarok global powerhouse Thailand. However, we still have some pretty strong competitors like Germany, Taiwan, Brazil, and USA.
LABAN TEAM PILIPINAS!

Slam Dunk Online
It looks like the trend for online gaming is moving towards capitalizing on premium branded titles as opposed to the conventional generic MMORPG. News of Dragonball Online really spread like wildfire and now we have another popular Japanese anime title being turned into an online game. It’s not really a fighting game though… it’s actually SLAM DUNK ONLINE. Yeah, Hanamichi is back with a vengeance!
Here’s the source article from MMOSITE:
On Oct. 22, Korea-based Goorm announced that they’re cooperating with another Korean Company – DaewonMedia on the development of Slam Dunk Online, under the supervision of the cartoonist Inoue Takehiko, author of its original work. Slam Dunk Online is slated for closed beta in Jan., 2010 and open beta in the first half of 2010.
Set in the background of its original comic book – Slam Dunk and focusing on rendering the original style, Slam Dunk Online will introduce all the characters debuting in Slam Dunk. As an online game, Slam Dunk Online is expected to provide players both offline and online gaming fun.
According to the cartoonist Inoue Takehiko, author of Slam Dunk, all members of Slam Dunk Online’s dev team are working hard on the game development by following the principle of respecting the original worldview, characters and basketball. This is also what Inoue Takehiko hopes. And he said that he’s looking forward to the day when the development of Slam Dunk Online is completed.
Definitely another game to look out for!
