Gaming competition are the main highlights of TGX09, taking place almost everywhere in the entire hall. At least 3 DotA matches, all from different competitions, can be ongoing at the same time slot, making some spectators rushing from one game to another hoping to catch the best scenes. The most memorable DotA moments got to be the last minutes of Day 1 Final Match: XtC vs Axis. Watch it to believe it.

One of the performance slotted in-between gaming competitions in Day 2 is a musical performance by SWS Youth Winds. Among the pieces performed by the Youth Winds are Theme song from Naturo, Final Fantasy Extravaganza, and Suteki Da Ne, along with a vocal. (video compilation). Only 2 cosplay competitions are open: best Shana look-alike and best cosplayer. Apart from the Shana competition, there are only 2 other cosplay performance on stage. This pretty much explains the cosplay scale for TGX 09.
