national atomic bomberman championship
after an absence of more than 4 months due to the lack of quality infrastructure, which coincided with joseph's work in cambodia, the reinstated national atomic bomberman championships took place at telok kurau lorong k today.
contestants:
1. moby sky (the legandary dark blue bomberman)
2. teng jwoshi (the mysterious-up-and-coming black bomberman)
3. wayne koh (the almost-win white bomberman)
4. jason kho (the wait-to-kick-bomb-till-kena-bomb red bomberman)
5. joseph fong (the got-kills-but-no-wins purple bomberman)
6. adrian tan (the goon yellow bomberman...enough said)
atomic bomberman
the setting up of the laptops involved many technicalities which a mechanical engineering graduate like me doesn't understand...what the hell is a ipx and how the hell i know the network cable was for the router and not for my laptop? knn...
setup
(note: jason wasn't trying to smell his armpit...really.)
anyway, after an initial caused by the hapless technicians, the competition kicked off at 4pm...round one started off with a tight fight between moby, jwoshi and wayne. the first round was actually cut short to 5 wins instead of the usual 10, because the contestants wanted to eat crabs at eng seng restaurant...just like the last time this competition was held back in july...which is why jwoshi won. hehe. but he was very shy about it, as you can see from this round-winner photo:
jwoshi
after stuffing themselves with chili and black pepper crabs, the contestants came back for round 2...which was also a very tight match between jason, moby, jwoshi and wayne. eventually, jason became the winner in that round with a very easy final showdown with the yellow bomberman. he was a bit shocked, but very happy with his win...as can be seen in his round-winner photo:
jason
the contestants then took a break from the singles competition and split into two teams for the teamplay version (race to 20), with the first round comprising of jason, jwoshi and moby vs. wayne, joseph and goon. needless to say, the former team won quite easily...20-6, but questions were asked of the losing team's tactical decision to play with a "buffer man", which ultimately lead to their downfall. but in order to make the losers, oops, i mean the losing team...feel a bit better about themselves, moby decided to give them some airtime on his blog...but alas, they all were very shy as well:
joseph, goon & wayne
a shortened second round (race to 10) of teamplay saw moby, jwoshi and joseph competing against jason, wayne and goon, in what was a much closer match compared with the first teamplay match. but moby's team still defeated the others 10-6...no photos were taken though, because the organiser's camera ran out of batteries.
the last and final round of the national atomic bomberman championship returned to the singles competition again. all the bombermen were desperately trying to capture the title of "atomic bomberman champion of the world", which obviously goes to the person who wins the last match of the day...so the competition was very tight and the air very tense. some of the contestants were even complaining that a certain contestant was "very rude"...but come on, don't blame the other competitors if you can't take the heat! hahaha. so anyway, after a very tightly contested match, which saw the white bomberman (wayne) almost win...but moby came from behind and kept his title for at least another day.
the organisers would like to thank all the bombermen who took part in the championships for making this competition so entertaining and enjoyable...see you in one week's time for the christmas edition... =)
