Cebu StarCraft II Training Commences

After the successful launch and the gaming house party held last October 29 to 31,Team Cube, Cebu's current biggest StarCraft II team, hosts a friendly clan war with Team Carnage of Cagayan de Oro. 

The first clan war between both teams from different sides of the archipelago commenced last November 5, 2011 over Battlenet. In a Bo9, challenge-the-winner format. The losers got to pick the map of their choice, while the winners defended their crown

Cube won by a margin of 1 point in the PvT deciding match.

After the clan war, Cube continued their training with an in-house King of the Hill tournament. 

All these were supposedly in preparation for PPSL, but due to some issues regarding the said event, Team Cube will not be flying to Manila to participate.
