Finally a lan competition held in a very long, you could say we were too damn hungry for one. Sunday morning, pulling oneself from the bed, trying to get to the scene on time, armed with our keyboards and mouse- pretty much a nostalgic feeling.

Ok snap. Settings for eswc national qualifiers was at HIGH cyber cafe(probably one of the best lans in sg). We won the online qualifiers so we were seeded into top 8 Lan qualifiers. I’ll give a brief description on our 3 games.

Nothing drastic happened in this game, just some hiccups in the initial lane. But as soon as we started our pressure, we had taken the game into our full control, ending the game early.

Played a farmer/catcher approach towards this game- work out well. One of those type of games where u get your heroes buffed up by mass catching. Game pretty much ended effortlessly when opponents accidentally got 3 of their main heroes caught.

Finals - EVOLUTION     -Replay- http://www.garena.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=219956&extra=page%3D1

I knew their hero lineup wasn’t very strong upon looking at it, but never did i knew it was so damn irritating. Tried to play our usual tower games with our opponents. This is the type of game whereby you are clearly dominating, but unable to engage properly. Thus making both sides on a stalemate. I still vividly remember their draft, it was wl treant sf potm es. As an engager that game(mag), it wasnt that enjoyable. Having to take into consideration that they have 3 other engager whenever i want to jump one. But still, we manage to wipe during the later part of the game and took the game evantually.

Anyway, great job to my teammates and those teams out there for putting up a nice fight this competition. And ppl out there, do support us for eswc finals, we will prove ourselves to be a force to reckon with! -Mike
