Aiyoyo. Almost half a day at that noisy playworks and I failed to qualify. I am the draw specialist. 5 D, 2 L, 1 W.

There were 5 groups I think? 9 players in each. Imagine how long it takes to finish each group.

Oh and some of the consoles 'hanged' a few times. Nice.

And at one point the electricity g0t hax0red. When people were still playing mind you. And a few of them were like.. 2 - 0 up.

Pfft, will try again next week.


Congrats to blankerroo and effy.


P/s: The strangest team was Czech Republic.

ahahaha...the strangest team was SCOTLAND...

Who used Scotland? WAHAHAHAHAHA.

Aku group yang... guna tv sebelah game tembak2 tu.

Yang guna wireless controller.

Scotland tu one of my friend guna just for fun because he unfortunately unable to qualify because of the tough group (Mun Wai and some top players in the group, I think )

Anyway, GG everybody

ahakz..yup group mun wai..
my fren Azhan dpt 2nd dlm group tu..mun wai 3rd..
tp yg best..scotland beat brazil terry(runner up 2005) 2-0

Well, as good as people thought I was, I wasn't THAT good. Yes I qualified (via 3rd place), but my performance was quite bad.

I used England that day for all my games, and I must remind myself to not use that team again. It was kind of an average team lah, that England. I thought it was suitable for my playing style, but when I play against other people, especially those using Brazil, always ada problem je.

There's this 1 guy in the team - Munawar - everybody thought he would lose and fail to qualify, but he totally flew under everyone's radar and got 1st place! Against me, he beat me 2-0. He used Brazil, and I must say his playing style wasn't that skilful. But he beat me with 2 Ronaldo shots from far away. I started the game well, but when he scored that 2nd goal, I know that I won't win.

Anyway, I finally qualified, with 14 points total. The top 2 in my group - Munawar & Meng Heng - got 15 points each. I won 4, lost 2, drew 2.

By the way, I'm planning to use Italy in the finals. Tried using Italy this weekend after the tournament, and I felt that it was far better compared to England. Gilardino's superb! When using him, I felt like his performance are a bit like Ronaldo. But Italy's bench isn't as deep as England's or Brazil's - too little subs, and only average performers on the bench.

Anyone wanna have a practice match with me? I'd love to try out against other players, using Italy.

Hey nikman, I'll take up that offer thank you. Where to play?

I'll still be using Italy, but this time I'm gonna ditch my orthodox 5-3-2 formation. 4-3-3 is the way to go I believe. It seems like most of the good players use that formation.

The only problem with Gilardino is his dribbling speed. I prefer Montella.
Cassano should be an ace as well but... such a waste that Konami gave him a mere 2 for 'consistency'. (And Totti got a 3. Great...)

4-3-3 is more attacking, while at the same time, not leaving the back undefended. That's why it's a good formation. And when you exploit the fact that the opponent's RB & LB normally leave the RWF & LWF alone when you put them very wide like I do... it's easy to counter-attack.

Gilardino's dribbling speed is a problem? Not with me, coz I use him as CF. And as you know, I normally don't start my moves with the CF. The CF normally stays in the middle, and rarely moves out. So, he won't move much. If I can use Adriano in Inter (whose dribbling speed is quite slow too), I find that Gilardino is good as a CF. Montella becomes my sub when Pirlo or Totti is totally down (grey colour).

Casssano, I put him as wing, coz he dribble very fast. I need fast players to dribble past defenders at the wing, coz there's where my attack normally starts. Totti is good for scoring from afar. Pirlo's good for short free kicks, while Totti's good for long free kicks.

All in all, much better than England. You want to play? Can, but I don't know where we can play. If you'd like to come to my house, that's no problem. But you kinda live quite a long way away from my house, which is in SS3 PJ...

If only you have an original PES5 PC version. Then that would be simpler, coz then we can play online.

yoo hoo... wahh... seems like an interesting tournament last sat... 5 groups of 9 ?!!! lucky din go... was abit tired... probably couldn't last the distance. mayb tis sat... going cannavaro? congrats nikman n the rest who qualified!

Ah... yea I live kinda far from your house.
Plus I don't have the original PC version.
Nvm then.


dirge3: Yup, I'll be there this Saturday. Thank god it's only RM15 for losers of the first round.


Anyways, has anyone here faced an opponent who used blatant time wasting tactics? I've only met one such opponent during the previous tournament.

There were times when I feel like resorting to blatant time wasting tactics. Ahahaha.

How old are you anyway Cannavaro? If you're old enough to drive, you can always drive to my house. I'd be happy to receive your visit so that we can practice. I haven't yet practiced with another person using Italy, so I don't know how effective I can be playing against another person. Against the computer, so far much better than England.

Time wasting? Haven't yet so far, but hmmm... that is a good tactic to do right? After all, there's nothing in the rules stating that you cannot waste time. Hehehe. But so far I haven't done that unsporting thing yet. And I don't plan to. It's a game, after all, and a game's meant to be enjoyed.

Good luck to those trying out for this weekend's qualifiers.

Actually I do have a driving license.
But I'm not really familiar with the roads in PJ. Too many 'SS'. Plus I have a bad sense of direction when I'm driving.

On what day/time can I come? I'm free most of the time be it night or day coz currently I've no commitments.

Can PM me your address and all the relevant details?

hey new here.i should be there in sunway this sat.

long time didnt play in tourney try n c how.

i got no one 2 play against herela so any1 living near damansara utama feel free to pm me n we can practice together.

play against AI cannot really improve cause i find the 6 stars lvl doesnt simulate human style.

Prashant? Good luck in the tourney this Saturday. Hope we'll meet each other in the finals. You haven't played for quite some time? Or are you still terer? Hehehe.

I'd be happy to play against anyone willing to spend some time playing the game with me. I want to improve, and yes, as prash said, playing against the computer, even at 6 stars, will not improve us a lot. Coz they're too predictable.

i havent played for some time

been busy with studies n DOTA haha.no time for we.besides boring play with AI

i just come for fun show supportla.i long time didnt play with any1 dunno which lvl i am now but i dun think i am terer anymorela haha.last time also not so terer.so many new things i learned from playing in eswg.
