TK Round 2 2011

On Sunday we played the second round of the TK series. We had cut our roster down to just the 6 of us that are going to Thailand. It made a huge difference for a local 5-man tournament not having to rotate 8 guys. We were able to get into the STK groove easily and took 1st place.

 Our NT11's are shooting so sweet now that they have had a chance to break in.

TK Round 1 2011

Yesterday was the start of the 3rd season of the TK series. There were 19 teams at this round, which is a good turnout for a local WA tournament.
 


We finished 2nd to Perth City Trauma. I can't really remember the first and second games of the finals, only that we lost the first and won the second. The third game, we lost two players off the break and Trauma made it out with all of them alive. We had good positions on the field, we drew the game out as long as we could. I felt like we just needed to make one G to swing the game, but it never came and Trauma earned 1st place.

STK & Dye 2011

WASP Open

On Sunday we played the WASP Open. It was a standalone tournament WASP ran independently. It was a relaxed day, finishing just before 12pm! The day was based on points with no finals. We came 2nd. We even had time to stay after the tournament and train as we usually would on a Sunday lol.

It was the final tournament we'd play not in Dye gear!

WCA 2010

Got back from World Cup Asia in KL this morning. We came 3rd. I'm pretty happy with it. We fought our way through a difficult pool winning against Datis, SWAT, Demonz Red, Boonie Dogs and drawing to French team Bad Element and German team Dirty Annihilation. All of the games were extremely difficult and it really seemed like any of the teams from our pool could have gone on to win the tournament. There were plenty of moments where we were on the knife edge of losing games but thankfully instead of cracking we were able to use it to pull together and bring it back. We finished the prelims in 2nd seed to SWAT.

This left us to play Xtioneer/Xfox in the quarterfinals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjil0Fj9zlI). We won this which left us to face Datis in the semi-finals. It was a difficult game. I think we made a bit of a mistake not conceding a 2v1 point when we should have, which left us grappling for time to make up points. The game finished at time in Datis favour sending them on to play the championship game, which they won. Datis are nice guys and I'm happy for them to have won the tournament!

This left us to play for 3rd and 4th. I felt like we were playing good enough to win the event, and I think we came up against a semi-deflated Ronin team, so we were able to beat them 4-0 and take 3rd. We finished the PALS series in 2nd place.

 

TK Round 5 2010

Today was the final round of the TK series. We had all 8 of our roster playing... it was a little bit tricky to work through rotating at just a local 5 man... but it worked out ok as we won, giving us a clean sweep of the TK series this year and the series title again.

TK Round 4 2010

Yesterday was the fourth round of the TK. We came first in the finals against Perth City Trauma.
