'Cyber gaming' is now a big hit among Pakistan youth so much so that the good gamers have become popular for their gaming skill around the world.

According to The Daily Times, the trend started in 2002 with gaming cafes being established across the country, with main hubs of fanatics being Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi.

Majid Mahmood, the manager operations of Neomatrix - one of the leading and pioneer gaming cafes in Lahore, said that his cafe had been established in 2002 with the aim of providing a proper platform to the gamers to prepare themselves to perform at international events.

"The slow and steady trend of gaming cafes being established in the provincial capital has led to young gamers getting an exposure, the likes of which they had not experienced earlier," the newspaper quoted Mahmood, as saying.

He further said that scores of Pakistani players are invited to the World Cyber Games, the World Cup of gaming fans across the globe.

"Since 2005, our country has been proudly represented in the World Cyber Games and the Electronic Sports World Cup. In the five years that we have partaken in the WCG, the country has progressed rapidly and has gained a very good repute in 'Warcraft' and FIFA," Majid said.
