Gavin,
good job so far there. send my regards to zeal and the rest as well.

Terence
cool off and focus on the game in hand. i know you can do much better than that. with your teammates try and tone down abit. i know you dont mean it but others will misunderstand.

Be3
proud of you. good work you have improved leap and bound since the day i first started you or shall i say poison you to play DOA.

All,
i very rarely post or comment but after seening all the post, well i have to point out some things.
1) DOA or Console gaming scene in MY is still way way behind.
2) Both terence and Be3 only started playing xbox360 and DOA for less than 2-3 weeks last year before the CGS2007. you might say alot of people are in the same shoe last year. but the fact is there are definately some who already have xbox360. fact is 2 of these players with only 2-3 weeks of training won fair and square. with that there was a long period of gap between last year and this year. for some who can say even some random players can beat them. look they were more random than any players last year. coz they never touch it before. and they came out at the top.

3)there was a time gap between last year to this year competition. if you think they didnt do a good job last year. why did anyone come up and became better than them. the fact is from last year competition to this year qualifier both of them didnt even touch DOA4 or XBOX360.
therefore how come no one came up and beat them??????

4) fact is every game and sports have very different level of techiniques and discipline. therefore i believe every different game players should respect other game players as they have a total different level of difficulties.

Therefore in summary try to look at the bigger picture first before passing negative comments.
These people are representing your country. put yourself in their shoe. if you are out there fighting hard but you loose to better players due to factors like lack of exposure and experience. and yet you have to read all these negative comments how do you feel.

We all should instead give them support. tell them dont give up and think positive. tell them you know they can do better than that.
Encouragement is what they need not condemnations and negative comments.

Peace!!
