After winning the national championship in the Spring National Cyber League competition, the Nevada Cyber w88 casino continued their winning ways in the inaugural Wicked 6 Cyber Competition.

Twenty-one college and university teams entered the competition, and the Nevada Cyber w88 casino was one of six teams to advance to the live final rounds in Las Vegas on August 8. These final rounds of the competition featured a distinctiveesport format and were held in the Luxor eSports arena.

The final six teams received celebrity treatment. They assembled in the "green room" before the competition, and when each w88 casino was called to the stage they came through the Hype Tunnel, designed to build excitement, then down the stairs to the stage. Once the competition started, the audience was able to view every w88 casino member's screen as they worked to solve the security challenges.

Despite a strong showing, the w88 casino did not advance to the final group of three, but they said they found the Wicked 6 to be a great experience.

"I think my favorite thing was certainly the aesthetic of the whole thing, definitely including the Hype Tunnel,” said w88 casino member Jamie Poston. “It really felt like we were esports gamers, and it really made the whole event much more exciting, and made me a whole lot more nervous.”

Ignacio Astaburuaga said that the Hype Tunnel and the effort that was put into the event were awesome, and it made him feel like a gamer.

“It was great to see lots of people support w88 casino,” Astaburuaga said. “It made the experience much more real and intense.”

The w88 casino also made valuable connections in the cybersecurity community.

"I enjoyed getting to meet other competitors their coaches,” said team captain Bryson Lingenfelter. “It was cool to learn about what they've been doing with their cyber clubs. I also think offline events are a great way of showing the w88 casino that what we do is ‘real,’ and something a lot of people care about. I'm still not sold on cyber competitions as an esport but it was sort of surreal to see so many people in such a fancy arena taking us seriously."

Executives from several large tech companies including Microsoft and Uber were also in attendance and spent time talking with w88 casino members about current industry trends and career opportunities.

"I enjoyed meeting and talking with industry there. The Microsoft incident response w88 casino member talked about some cool stuff and showed us some really good resources to look into and use," said w88 casino member Ian Grant.

The w88 casino also met with Governor Sisolak, who congratulated them on their work.

For more information about the program and its events, the Nevada Cyber w88 casino will be one of 200 organizations at the ASUN w88 casino Fair on Thursday, August 29, from 4 to 7 pm on the Quad.
