Experience on Christmas Tournament on 9th December 07

Hi guys. Thanks all for your grats and stuff. Really appreciated! Cuz I really never expected myself to even play to top 8... which I have never even been to.

Well anyway, I'm here to share my entire experience for the entire tournament!

I also decided to play Ocean Control instead of my usual Destiny L&DD deck for a change.

Elimination Match vs Someguy(forgot the name liao,dunno wad deck)
2:1 - Win
The worst game that day. Everyone who stood beside me should know my opponent =_=
Anyway, my deck somehow died to a 3k+ att mirage dragon. Basket.


First Round Swiss vs Zon Xu(If I nvr forget the name, DestinyL&DD)
2:0 - Win
He was a really nice guy. And it was a really great game. It was stressful playing against the first L&DD deck that day. He had my lifepoints down to 900 on the first game and 300 on the second! So near to dying. I had to use my solem judgements against that Light & Darkness Dragon! Well, great game anyway.


Second Round Swiss vs WeiQuan(GG/Dad, DestinyL&DD)
2:1 - Win
Abit sad. Since we were going against close friends. But since it was a tournament, we decided to give it our best and it really was! My lifepoints were reduced to 225 on the first game! He secured the second game by controlling me with L&DD and I didn't have any answer to it. I secured the wins with Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo. Thanks dad for the win! I knew I had to make this win worth it.


Third Round Swiss vs Someone =_= (Beatdown deck)
2:0 - Win
I somehow was a little nervous when I saw that Raiou face up on his side deck! It totally kills my Ocean control! So I quickly secured a win on the first round just in case I would die on the next after side-decking. At first, he didn't want to side deck and I was like "Are you sure?!" but he decided to put the Raiou in after I asked him that! T_T
I somehow managed to win with Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo again.


Forth Round Swiss vs Chee Xian(Ocean Beats)
0:2 - Loss
It was the best game that day!!!! It wasn't exactly a mirror game if you asked me. But we had some similiar cards. I died badly becus his monster removal cards were ALOT more than mine. And he played Gors! Which I didn't. Anyway, it was really exciting. There was even a point where I was struggling to survive at 25 lifepoints on the first game! The second game ended really fast because his Injection Fairy Lily killed me quite badly.


Top 8
First Round Top 8 vs Someone(I forgot this guy's name, ZombieRush)
2:0 - Win
Was a fast game. Cuz one Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo killed his entire deck.

Second Round Top 8 vs Yong Siang (DestinyL&DD)
0:2 - Loss
His luck too power already! Heavy Storm on both first turns. It blew away my anti-sac mask =_= basket! and he killed off my Airman so that the deck just died.

Third Round Top 8 vs Mickey (Beatdown Deck) (for 3rd & 4th place)
2:0 - Win
Dunno how I won. I really forgot le. I just remembered it was a really fierce game too. And we had to rush for time as we were running out of time.
