00:00The Games 15 event saw thousands of gamers across UAE flock to Dubai Marina from September

00:1610 to 12.

00:17Giants in the gaming industry like PlayStation, Xbox, and 2K16 Games publisher 2K Sports set

00:24up shop for gamers to try their latest releases.

00:27What Games has always been about is the latest reviews and demos of games that you've not

00:34seen before, of which we've got many all around us.

00:38One of the highlights of the event is the ESL tournament where pro gamer teams compete

00:42for the $250,000 cash prize.

00:44ESL, they're the largest eSports company in the world.

00:47We've partnered with them to bring hopefully the best pro gaming tournament that we've

00:55ever seen here in the Middle East.

00:57Eight of the top teams in Counter-Strike go in the world.

01:02They're going to be competing for $250,000 in cash prizes.

01:07We play a game, Counter-Strike Global Offensive.

01:09It's an online game for a computer and it's like an FPS, which means first person shooter.

01:15Our strategy going into this tournament is to win mainly, but going into detail, we just

01:19have to tighten up stuff with our mindset because a lot of the people don't understand

01:23it's a lot of inside your own head and mind and you just have to have the will to believe

01:29and have that confidence, you know, and I think that's important.

01:31Games15 invited internationally known cosplayers and they shared with us their favorite games.

01:36I play both PC and console, so I've joined both master races, there's no bias with me.

01:41I'm a classic MMO-er, I really like playing RPGs, EVE Online is one of my favorites even

01:47though it's basically a spreadsheet simulator.

01:49Favorite games as a kid, I have a strong bias for Sonic the Hedgehog because we have the

01:52same birthday.

01:53Tomb Raider games, always a classic, inspired me a lot growing up, I took up rock climbing

01:58as you do.

01:59I'm also a big fan of Final Fantasy series, number 7 is my favorite, I know not everyone's

02:04going to agree with me, and yeah, even Space Invaders was a good time if you had someone

02:08else to root you on.

02:09I'm a massive World of Warcraft player, I can't stop playing.

02:12I've been playing for 10 years, 10, 10 years I've been playing that game and I can't stop.

02:18And like I said before, I play Call of Duty and stuff like that as well, but World of

02:22Warcraft, that's my favorite, old favorite.

02:25If we're going to go back to the 90s, Oregon Trail, I don't know if you guys played that

02:31but yeah, Oregon Trail, I play that every day.

02:35If you've ever played a game, you know saving and killing are both integral parts of any

02:40game's mechanics.

02:41We gave it a spin and asked our favorite cosplayers who they'd save or kill.

02:45Save or kill, Tomb Raider and Star Trek.

02:48Ah, save Tomb Raider.

02:50I would probably have to save Uncharted and kill Lara Croft because I really, Nathan Drake.

02:56Pac-Man or Mario.

02:58Save Pac-Man.

02:59Kill Mario.

03:00Kill Mario.

03:01I'm sorry Mario.

03:02I would kill Mario, he's so stupid.

03:04The princess keeps running away, so he doesn't, yeah, he doesn't deserve it.

03:08Kill Mario, keep Pac-Man.

03:09Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat.

03:11Ah, save Mortal Kombat, that was one of my favorite games growing up.

03:15Save Mortal Kombat, I dressed up as Mileena from Mortal Kombat, so keep Mortal Kombat,

03:21kill Street Fighter.

03:22Skyrim or Dark Souls.

03:24Save Skyrim, kill Dark Souls, which is basically how you feel playing the game a lot of the

03:29time.

03:30Do you know, I think I'm going to have to kill Dark Souls and keep Skyrim because Dark

03:33Souls is really scary.

03:35It's really scary and it's hard.

03:37Really hard.

03:38If you die, that's it.

03:39Batman Arkham series or the Assassin's Creed series.

03:42Save the Assassin's Creed series, the other one can go.

03:46Oh, keep Assassin's Creed.

03:48Assassin's Creed, kill Batman.

03:50Batman's had enough publicity.

03:52He doesn't need any more publicity.

03:53Assassin's Creed, yeah, keep Assassin's Creed.
