Zeph The Cora Girl

November 3rd, 2008 4 Comments

 

One of the winners of the LIVE 2008 Cosplay (Best female cosplayer) is “that Cora Girl”. Well, she’s not a “Jane Doe” anymore.  Her real name is Shelah Zephaniah S. Espino or simply “Zeph” for short.

My good friend Master Diwa, also a reknowned cosplayer, did an interview of Zeph. Apparently, this is the first time that Zeph cosplayed for a major event. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of Zeph in the coming months. ”It feels great! We were ecstatic, we were overwhelmed and surprised! There are a lot of good cosplayers out there, and I wasn’t even thinking of winning then. I just wanted to get it over with, in a good way though. I loved being in my Cora costume, so it helped ease the pressure.” Zeph said.

With Master Diwa’s permission, I am replicating his video interview with Zeph. Coming up after the jump.

October 2008 Recap

November 2nd, 2008 No Comments

 

Whew! October was a big, big month… not just for Level Up but for gaming as well.

Big ticket, of course, was the immensely succesful Level Up LIVE 2008 where the RWC was held for the first time outside of Korea. Sadly, team Philippines didn’t make the top 3 but they sure showed the competition that we’ve got the spirit and the drive to win. It was one helluva fight. For that, we are proud. After the smoke settled, it was Thailand that took the crown (a repeat of 2007) from stalwart, Korea 3-2 in their best of five finals match.

Filharmonika Orchestra Plays Ragnarok at LIVE 2008

October 30th, 2008 7 Comments

 

One of the highlights of the recently concluded RWC and LIVE 2008 event is a special performance by the Filharmonika Orchestra. Conducted by maestro Gerard Salonga, the 50-piece orchestra played well-known Ragnarok in-game background music such as “Theme of Prontera” and “Theme of Juno”.

Special thanks goes to Gerard and the entire Filharmonika for this first-ever performance for a gaming event. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Charles Rapaport of AmbientMedia for coordinating with me and the LIVE organizing committee and making this idea a reality.

An Event of Firsts

October 26th, 2008 7 Comments

 

Everyone in the Level Up team is glad that LIVE 2008 was a huge success. We’re so happy to see the “ocean” of gamers. In fact, our visitors and VIP guests from various publishers and friends from the industry were all impressed and in awe of the event. It’s also nice to hear positive feedback from our foreign RWC competitors.

I’m now at the tail-end of much needed “recharge” – 1 entire week of vacation and I’m eager to hit the desk again and get back to work with the team to bring you better events, promos and a whole slew of stuff to do in-game.

Meanwhile, in retrospect, Level UP LIVE 2008 was indeed an event of FIRSTS. Let me list it down for you after the break…

LIVE 2008 Cosplay

October 24th, 2008 11 Comments

 

The annual cosplay is one of the main attractions at LIVE. And this year, we were once again in awe of the creativity of the Pinoy cosplayer. Even my friends from Gravity were impressed. That makes me proud to be Pinoy! Thanks to all those who joined and special thanks goes to GM Lilith for being the uber-lady-in-charge of the LIVE cosplay. When it comes to cosplay, we always defer to her. Thangs, Leng for a fantastic job, as always.

I’ve managed to shoot some photos during the cosplay. But since I was really busy, I wasn’t able to document the entire thing. Cosplay slide show follows the jump.

Enjoy!

October 24th, 2008 2 Comments

 

By now, you guys already know the official list of winners for the 2008 Ragnarok World Championships, right? This time around, let’s pay our respects to the deserving winners of the other LIVE 2008 tournaments. They are all Champions and worthy of the crown. I admire their dedication and passion for their game. It’s good to know that the Filipino spirit of competition is alive and these guys are all role-models that other players should follow. They (and their guilds) have prepared for this moment for months.

To all the winners – hats off to you! You have earned the right to be the true “Gods of Gaming”.

The list after the jump.
