    Game Women Kick Some QuakeCon Ass

    The Girlz of Destruction dished out some major QuakeCon-flavored pwnage over the weekend in Dallas. The all-women clan took the first three places in the tourney, netting a total of $30,000 in cash.

    The trio had to take down about 125 others in Free-For-All and a variety of other bouts. The group is sponsored by Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer VIA, which has got to be pretty damn happy right now with their investiment.

    VIA's Keith Kowal sure was:


    On the gaming front the action could not have been hotter. In the Ms.Quakecon competition coming from the loser bracket Missy faced off against Trito with a very tight game. In the end Missy prevailed and proceeded to the finale with Trito automatically taking 3rd place. At the evening finale Missy and Ms.X (the reigning Ms.Quakecon champion) went head to head. As Ms.X came from the winners bracket she just needed to win once, while Missy had to win twice.

    For the first game Missy was on fire playing on her favourite map soundly beating Ms.X 12-2. After a short break a second map was chosen that turned out to be Ms.X s favourite. The action was very nail biting with the girls going one-for-one for two thirds of the game. Then towards the end Missy racked up a bunch of kills and ended the game 11-4. All in all the Girlz of Destruction had a very impressive tournament finishing 1-2-3 and firmly established their clan s dominance in the first person genre.

    Teen blasting machine and clan leader Jamie "Missy" Perevda, 18, of San Jose, took first place and $15,00 of the loot. All that ass-kicking and people are still calling them girls. Sigh.
