Asia Qualifiers Pt.1

Not really in the mood to blog now. Very disappointed.

I'll just summarize it in some points.

1) Went to stay over at Jinny's place with Davin to playtest/crap
2) Woke up at 5am and went to Mac to eat breakfast. Met DY there
3) Meet the others at Clementi MRT and went to SMU
4) Also met Amos and Aaron at SMU and almost all Jurong players were there.
5) Games started. Trades were made.
6) Scrubbed with a score of 2-2
7) Saw a lot of scams.
8) Went home

Zzzz...In the end ,i got 57th out of 150+ people. Feel abit disappointed in myself. Not in the mood to blog anymore. I will stop here and continue tmr

Calm before the storm

No. I don't mean the Heavy Storm post from Rauzes.

( For anyone who is curious as to what i would do, i would follow LGQ and JUST STORM IT!!!)

It is about 1 hour and 39 minutes more before i sit for my second last O level paper. The stress level has drastically went down from the start of the exams until now. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow 9Am , when my final paper would be finished and i will perhaps burn all of my useless books in memory of this battle. A lot of things are happening within these few days , mainly :

- End of O Level *Tomorrow*
- Graduation Night *Tomorrow*
- Preparation for Asia Qualifier *Saturday*
- Jurong Tournament *Saturday*
- Asia Qualifiers *Sunday*
- Prom Night *Monday*
- Start of work *Wednesday*

As you can see , i'm SUPER packed this week and the next 2 months. But , my job will come first before Yugimonz. May only play during the weekends.

On the side note , my deck which i am using for Asia Qualifiers is coming along fine. It handles Lightlords and GB's quite well , except for the occasional JD+JD+Beckoning Light. Need some cards which i'm borrowing from Neuxcharge to finish it.

There may be only 3 more days to the Asia Qualifiers , but i want to use as much time as i have in order to train for it. Which would be.....the whole of Saturday?

That's it for today , bye bye

P.S : Anyone can give ideas on how to control Lightlords?

Absolute Powerforce

Went around everywhere to feel some ABPF packs today.

Spent a total of nearly $50 and got these :

Drill Warrior 3D
Savior Demon Dragon
Sun Dragon Inti
Reptiless Vasuki
Priest of the Sun
Demon's Chain *WOOT*

Plus a pile of commons and rare.

Dude...This set is REALLY hard to feel...We bombed ALOT.

Nevertheless , its still worth it

Testing : Chaos Control

Dismantled my Lightlord deck. Decided to go for something new.

Tested it with my teammates today. Found some flaws and upgraded it a little.

Changes :

1) Took out the GK Spies. i always drew both due to my little draw power.
2) Took out the Krebons and the E-Teleport. I found it abit....inconsistant.
3) Added some Shuras and Gale. Found this to be a easier synchro method.
4) Added Anti-meta elements.

Tested it with my Lightsworn before dismantling it and won it 12-4 without siding. Not bad.

Will update more soon

Short Tourney Report

Tournament report in about 5 points :

1) Went to Jurong East at 11+

2) Met and chatted with some friends.

3) Got some good trades and buys.

4) Missed Top 6.

5) Went home after looking at next week's prize.


Grats to Jin Hao again for getting 1st again...Godmode. Plus , it was a good showing for our team this week. 6 of our team members entered and 3 went into top 6. Not bad. However, this tourney has made me lose a little confidence in my skills and deck. Don't get me wrong though , Lightsworn is good. But , maybe i wasn't in my groove today. Haiz...Failed to meet my expectations.

Next week is the Asia Tourney , so i cannot just sit back and do nothing. I need to practice more. There are tournaments the day before Asia Qualifiers. Maybe i will play another deck? I was thinking Chaos Control while i was going home since i just got 1 playset of Raiou. Maybe bah. If i would just stick to my Twilight.

As much as i love my decks, i don't really like the name "Twilight". Could be due to the book...

Bye.

Growth

Making this super quick post before i go study.

Anyone reads Initial D manga?

Cause i'm going to use an example from there to describe my situation.

In the manga, in order to train for the harder opponents which Project D is going to face, Takahashi Ryosuke made his brother , Keisuke , undergo acceleration training. Under this training , Keisuke is suppose to complete a run in their home course in the time specified by Ryosuke. Yes, on the dot. If he fails to do so, he would need to write down on a notebook the difference in the timing , no matter faster or slower than the time specified , and he has to understand himself why he failed to meet the target.

I would adopt this training as my own.

Although i have little time to train for the Asia Qualifiers next Sunday, i will have to make do with as much time as i have. Under this period , i would undergo excessive deck testing with my teammates after my final O Level paper and the weekends. I would ask them to go all out and use whatever deck they have against the deck i'm entering. Should i fail to win the opponent , i would have to explain to myself why did i lose and what was my mistake. This way , i would be able to learn from the mistake and go all out during the Qualifiers.

This would be the starting of my growth as a duelist , and as a competitive player.

Yup, thats how determined i am. Not saying that i have to win the Qualifier. I must want to do my utmost best there.

That's all , gtg to study.

Bye! And props to Keisuke! FD!!!!
