Amid fanfare fit for actual world-class athletes, five Americans with really quick fingers took home the gold medal in the popular "Counter Strike" competition of the World Cyber Games championships, capping five days of intense gaming by the world's elite.
Team3D defeated the Titans of Denmark on Sunday in the counterterrorism-themed PC game, where operatives stake out ramshackle buildings with high-powered sniper rifles and other weapons to take out their foes. Team3D consists of Salvatore Garozzo, Johnny Quach, Dave Geffon, Ronald Kim and Kyle Miller. The squad also took home $50,000 for their video game prowess. If they plan to pop a bottle of celebratory champagne, only Geffon is old enough to take a legal sip, as his teammates are all under 21.

    It's a great win for Team3D. They were considered "washups" by many opposing teams on the Cal-I roster. This should set the record straight.

    Also, who could forget the timeless SK v 3D rivalry? Truly an awesome performance.

    At least they got $10k out of it, when you are getting nothing. :P

    Well, one day when all the world's wars will be fought online, and Canada will be invaded by a 10 year old in his basement, they will become war heros.
