Cyber Slam

Cyber Slam (also known as CyberSlam) was the Tournament and gamer division of CBN Media, which operated between 2003 and the middle of 2010. Most of the action for Cyber Slam took place on the Cyber Slam forums both during events and between them.

Cyber Slam's tournaments were run as a gaming democracy with players submitting their ideas and suggestions on how the events could best be run. The games community directed the event, played in the event and submit feedback to the website managers for improving future events. Prizes were organised by Cyber Slam's managers to ensure the community is rewarded for their tournament support.

Cyber Slam came into the public eye by hosting the Australian Halo PC Tournament, which saw JoshH (then known as HoOh++) flying to the United States of America for the International Halo PC Finals (2004).

In May, 2004, Cyber Slam hosted the Australian Battlefield Vietnam Tournament for Electronic Arts. This Tournament was of significant importance for online gaming in Australia as it set the precedence for all large Australian events that followed. The first prize was A$15,000 - the highest amount offered for any gaming event in Australia at the time - and was held completely online.

    You slam a politician, you make out he’s the devil, with horns and hoofs. But his wife loves him, and so did all his mistresses.
