MPOC 4th leg is around the corner but our story about 3rd leg is yet to come out J. From the bottom of my heart, I’m very sorry for the delay due to I’m starting a new job at KL and have a very limited access to internet. But have no worries now, here come the story.
Since I already reside at KL and other team members are from outside KL, I took the opportunity to come to the Captain’s meeting. Only 8 teams will be competing in Division 2. There are some new, familiar and long-time-no-see teams that will be playing in Division 2. Actually, there are some funny feelings in my stomach during this meeting. Maybe due to our not-so-good performance in the last leg *yeah! 4th place is not a good result for us* and we need to recover from that, or the feeling that we have to win big in this leg to make sure we’re still topping the Division 2 overall ranking. I did experience that feelings before but I’m not gonna tell anyone because I’m afraid I’m gonna jinx it. Ehehehehhe.
Team draw has been completed for Division 2 and Eastsiderzz gonna meet D’Halloween, CMX, Dark Angels and Bellicose for the preliminary games. Looking at the past experience, we’re gonna face a tough fights between with all these teams. That time I hope, we’re gonna do well.
Day 1
Day 1 starts at 8 am. Unfortunately only 4 of us (me, Apex, Jaa & A’are) that managed to come on our 1st game with D’Halloween. Well yeah, it’s a World Cup season, go figure. Ehehehehhe. It sucks playing with 4 people but we’ve shown that we’re not a quitter and managed to win our match 2-0 with D’Halloween. Luckily for our next games, Pojie & Merah arrived to strengthen the line.
Next game was with CMX. We were highly motivated for this match because on last leg, we lost to them. We really want to take the win from them. My personal opinion, CMX got a very good line-up. Most of them are very experienced player. And at the end of the match, Eastsiderzz did win this match with 2-1.
Next game was with Dark Angels. I think this is our 1st time match in Division 2 with them. They really gave us the good fight because we only managed to draw 1-1 with them. Hopefully on our next matches we will perform much better.
Our last game was with Bellicose. Fuh! This is the team that we have a long list of history. It’s quite a balance results actually. Some matches we’ve won, some matches lost and there are also draw matches. This time we managed to draw 1-1 with them. They just make a comeback this season and I hope we will meet them again sometime in future. Definitely, we’ll make sure that we’ll win next time J.
So by the end of the Day 1, only 4 teams will be going to semi-final. It was Red Sevens, Eastsiderzz, Urban X and Dark Angels. Red Sevens will be playing against Dark Angels and Eastsiderzz will be playing against Urban X.
Day 2
Day 2 games for Divison 2 will be starting at 11 am. Guess what? It still 4 of us (me, Apex, Jaa & A’are) for our semi-final match! Eheheheheh. Pojie unable to join us on Day 2 because he has to settle his urgent personal matters. *Wait! Rumours said that Pojie gonna retired from paintball arena. Is it true?*
Since semi-final match is so much important *who don’t, right?*, we have to ask help from my iPerintis colleague, Zahree that plays with Kejahatan to be our coach. Come on man. 4 man playing Race-to-2 format in semi-final match without coach? Then playing against Urban X who beat us on 3rd & 4th places match last leg? We’ll dig our own grave man!
This semi-final was the longest match that we’ve played. We took the win on the 1st game but, lost on the 2nd game with just 3 seconds left on the clock. 3rd game we don’t take it seriously because we want to end the time. In semi-final there won’t be a draw match, so we have to go to overtime 5 minutes game. Anyone win this overtime will go to the final. If the result still draws, another overtime game will be played until there’s a winner. Luckily Eastsiderzz won. So we’re going to final to meet Red Sevens who also have the overtime match against Dark Angels. Wow! Interesting semi-final matches ehh?
Eastsiderzz vs Red Sevens in the Division 2 final match of 3rd leg. The winner gonna be leading overall ranking of Division 2. Personally, I like their fast game. Luckily Denn Nemesis was on our side again as coach. He did a very good job giving instructions on our 1st leg final match. We predicted that this gonna be a very intense match. It’s so intense that even Denn was shaky when guiding us through the match. Eheheheheh. Alhamdulillah, Eastsiderzz managed to secure the win with 2-1 and we are the Champion again, my friends!
It’s unbelievable that we managed to win our 1st matches on Day 1 and 2 even we’re playing with 4 men. Apex informed me that Paul Lam suspected we’re using a bomoh. Hahahahhaha. No bomoh bro. Just our fighting spirit guides us through the matches. It does feel good when we’re winning, but the road to success still far away. There’s still 2 more leg to go. Hopefully we will maintain our good record for the next leg.
I would like to thank my other halves in Eastsiderzz: Apex, Jaa, A’are, Pojie and Merah. It’s an honour got to play side-by-side with you guys again. Also thank you very much to Denn and Zahree, who help us go through this 3rd leg. For others who I left out, you know who you are. Thank you very much also!
Signing off for now,
Che’ka
