We went with just 5 players as money and time off work was a problem with the event pretty soon after Thailand.
Everything kind of went our way... the weather cooled off so we could play point after point without dying in the heat. And the event organiser helped us at every opportunity, even lending us pit crew...!
We finished 2nd in the preliminaries with 4 wins and 2 draws.
This sent us into the semifinals against Persian Legend. We were able to get 3 - 0 on them. The next point they got 2 g's on the break, so the remaining 3 of us played to burn the clock, leaving only 1 minute on game time as the score went to 3 - 1. They didn't have enough time to come back so we proceeded on to play the finals for 1st and 2nd against our friends Datis.
After two fairly long points the game sat at 1 - 1. We played a third drawn out point. It whittled down to a 3 on 2 in our favour. The game clock went to 30 seconds remaining, I creeped up the doritos and shot their dorito player, Luke then ran across the field and bunkered their corner guy and Stiffla sprinted in to the buzzer with 5 seconds left on the clock. And that was it, we won.
