Haizzz, after 6 rounds the champ has been more or less decided --- AJ =( . Sian, played 3 rounds today --- personal record 1 win 2 lose =( . Overall 4 win 2 lose. Left with one more round tmr. Lost to jinxiang and junyang.

The match with Jinxiang was dead even, sian in the end not enough time den started blinding ... Lol, this reminds me ... he blinded one car to me during HC cup, today I blinded 2 horses ... haha our matches are always so screwed ... The match with Junyang was a mortifying one, he moved a weird variation which was not that effective, I moved pretty well up to a point where I could have won if I had made one crucial step, in the end didn't see it and made a bad one instead and all my attack was GONE, then I exploded .... Nvm, it was a great match, before I made that bad move that is ... Lol, this is already my 2nd match with Junyang ... 1st one I almost died but didn't, 2nd one he almost died but I died in the end, funny how some things can turn out ...

Haiz, our team had 3 draws today while AJ had 3 wins, now they are leading by half a point and their next opponent is RJ which I dun think they would have much problem with, hence the champ is as good as decided =(. My team is currently 2nd, so if we win tmr den we are 2nd =( . Sian, to think we won AJ in the first round and now they have overtaken us ...

Well, it wasn't tt unexpected anyway ... I have thought of 3 reasons why we could not get champ this yr (in order of importance)...

1) It was basically a 3 v 4 match every round (My teammates would know what I mean)
2) Zixian, Leslie and mi each had a 临门一脚 which we missed ...
3) Hwa Chong team B refused to throw us up

Haizzzzzz, 冠军与亚军真的犹如天壤之别. One more Khaki Bukit competition this Sunday, must get champion for that which is quite likely since it would be a 3 v 3 match and not a 2 v 3 match ...

From this competition, I have come to a conclusion that when it comes to the formation of teams, all the strong players should form one team whereas the weaker players form another one. The decision of splitting up the strong players to fit in 2 teams is not a wise one due to the following reaons:

1) It is unfair to the strong players in team competition when they always have to deal with the poor performance of the weaker players EVERY round.
2) Leeching occurs
3) The weaker players do not learn or benefit more when they team up with strong players as compared to when they team up with players of the standard.
4) The players would try harder to win if they are teamed up with players of the same standard since the team's victory is not guaranteed.

While this strategy would allow both teams to stand a better chance, getting a champ is much more significant than having both teams in top 3 ...

My coach is also pissed with our performance. Jinxiang should have been in our team, then the champ would have been ours ... Haizzz, nvm this situation shall not happen next yr ...

After my match with Junyang today, I realised 要赢一盘棋真不容易, I am still mada mada dane ...
