With a powerful performance Brazil came out on top of WCS 2008.
Here are all countries that received awards:
Winner: Team Brazil
Runner-up: Team China
Brother Award: Team Japan (Osaka)
Go through the Japanese blog there are many many great shots backstage and from the stage side. This will give you a different view from any other video that you can find. I have a bunch of pictures too and will post journals of each event when I get a chance in the next couple days. We have a couple things going on today and then we are pretty well wrapped up for the main event this year.
Make sure to check out all of the new video on the WCS top page too, DJ Kissy stayed up until 5 in the morning to put it all together. It still needs some editing but you can see each teams performance, the awards ceremony and the finale.
Sorry I haven't been able to keep you posted as you deserve, I think next year we will need to have a dedicated English blogger during the busiest times in the event so we can get you the information as it happens. Keep checking back as we have preliminaries around the world all year round and I will get you information on each one as they happen as well as information on anime, manga and cosplay in Japan today.

Thanks for your comments everyone!
Kim - I think they will get up a version with proper sound in the near future. As I mentioned in the post, staff were up all late to get the current video out as fast as possible.
