TK Round 3 2011
Oh man. We played terrible. Came 3rd. We don't take it seriously after we've just come back from a big tournament like PALS and then get owned. Oops.

PALS Thailand 2011
We wanted to avoid coming 10th like last year so this time we didn't get sucked into Thailand and party for 3 days straight before the tournament. It worked better for us with us finishing in the top 4 this time lol.
This week has been really great, I've had a lot of fun with the team and Bangkok is a strange but cool place. We have eaten great food and squeezed a lot into the non-paintball time we've had.
The tournament itself was superb. Well run and a great turnout of teams.
We played this leg with only 6 of us -- no Griffin or Luke as they were stuck working. It was a little hard on us at times in the heat. Thankfully our Ronin and Datis friends, and other teams helped us a lot in the pits. And Sandie, our super coach.
We finished the prelims with 4 wins, 1 draw and a loss. This sent us into the quarter finals against Persian Legend. They are a strong team and it was a hard game but everyone played well and we were able to come out on top, putting us in the top 4.
It was a long and hard game, and there was only a 10 minute break between this game and our semi-final match against Infernal. Infernal was playing extremely well, and not really having time to recover from the previous match made it harder too. They beat us and that left us to play SWAT for 3rd and 4th.
SWAT had our number and beat us convincingly leaving us with 4th.
We're pretty much just happy it's not 10th again... Thailand isn't our achilles heel lol.
Our Dye gear was amazing and Steve at the Dye booth is a champ.

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.

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.
