Players Information
KWON
KWON is Event partner for a main stage sub event called Real Fighter. The name is derived from our tournament game Virtua Fighter. One of Europe`s best martial arts crews will perform fighting at its best. Choreographed action between artistic and combat.

Right from the beginning
Inspired by the Art of Taekwondo, the martial arts brand KWON was founded by Guenther Schramm in the year 1976. KWON became registered on a national and international level in 1980. Among one of the first in Germany, Guenther Schramm started practicing the art of Taekwondo in 1965. During the same year a team of some of the most famous Grand Masters from Korea travelled through Europe to promote Taekwondo to the Western world. Therefore 1965 became an important year for Taekwondo in Europe. Since then Korean Taekwondo instructors have been teaching their students in Europe - with great success. KWON has developed a huge variety of products, which covers products for nearly all styles of martial arts in the world. Professional high-tech product development promises functional high quality products for the martial arts. A Quality-Securing-System has ensured steady and high quality throughout the years. Today, KWON is an innovative enterprise with 200-page catalog, offering a product range in the fields of martial arts equipment, clothing, fitness wear and accessories.

mp3.de
mp3.de is organising partner and sponsor for the WCG Grand Final 2008 Cyber Song Contest. This is a band contest, where the best interpretation of the WCG hymn `beyond the game` will be awarded with playing live on WCG main stage in-between stage matches.

The community music store
mp3.de is the first address for music in the internet in the European market. Founded in 1997 as a promotion portal for unsigned musicians the portal established itself as a platform for the usual music consumers, real music lovers and A&R`s. You can find established stars and also unsigned jewels on mp3.de. The difference between the usual online music stores and mp3.de is the huge community and the experience of ten years working with music in the internet.
mp3.de is a project of the music- and film production Tigavision GmbH. Mp3.de belongs to a huge group of online portals that also includes other platforms like neu.de, weg.de, pkw.de etc.

Modern Mobility
Modern Mobility is showing a piece of mobility equipment that is changing our perception of movement: the Segway.

Guided Segway-Tours with ultimate fun-factor
`experience Cologne in a different way` is the motto of the Cologne Segway-agency. They founded in July 2007 in Cologne-Riehl. Since that time they astonished pedestrians ever again with their two wheeled battery powered futuristic vehicles called `segway Personal Transporter`. They keep asking: `How does this work?`
Basically quite easy: The Segway is moved only by shifting your body weight.
It feels like floating -incomparably, easily, efficiently, simply.
Participants in our city tours experience the Rhine and the cities sights from a new perspective. It is quite possible to become attraction on their own.

MD.H
The `Game Design Camp` is a side event of this year`s World Cyber Games Grand Finale. Students of the Media design Hochschule (University of Applied Sciences) are going to provide the visitors of WCG with a backstage sneak into the making-of of a computer game.

During the 4-day event, the different work levels of conception and script, programming, modelling, sound and video, 2D-and 3D-Animation etc. will serve to unite virtual and real worlds and turn them into a visual-emotional opus in the visitor`s mind. Information, entertainment as well as hands-on-experience are the essential pillars of the whole event.

Game Design Studies (Bachelor of Arts)
One focus of Game Design Studies is on computer science with its highlights such as game physics, artificial intelligence or creating real-time 3D-worlds.
Designing and creating is also an essential part of the studies - students learn how to create and animate characters or how to compose sound matching the setting.
Both areas are accompanied with law and economics modules. Typical law issues such as draft contracts, protection of minors and copyrights as well as the foundation of a company, market analysis and branding are being taught.
Practical and substantiated software knowledge as well as experience gained by working in team projects open up possibilities on the attractive market of designing games, be it as level designer, 3D artist or software engineer in up-and-coming game studios or as an entrepreneur within a team and the invention of a wholly new game of their own.
