Day 3 at the IeSF

What a day full of ups and downs but finished on a high note. To start off this morning we began with a win as LongWalk our Warcraft 3 player won 2-0 vs The Netherlands. However lost to China 0-2 in the next round to end is tournament. Also we had KreeganBG playing his first FIFA Online 2 match against Singapore where he lost 2-0. While we didn't do great in FIFA Online 2 it would help if we had the game to play in the U.S so the players could be better prepared. Practicing on other FIFA games helps but doesn't give you the advantages of knowing all the little tricks that are required to play at this level. Hopefully in the future we will have more access to the game so we will be better prepared to compete.

To end on a positive note we attending the final event for the A.V.A Team tonight and what a match it was. In reading the forums there were a lot of people saying the U.S didn't have a chance in playing against the top teams in Asia and if you look at the prelim matches we lost both of them. However the team showed why they are the best team in the U.S by starting off with a convincing win against Japan 7-2. Then the heat was on team USA was to play Korea in the finals match for 10k dollars. THe match started off with Korea taking a 6-2 lead. However the momentum took a shift when Korupt clutched a 2 v 1 with little health and the team battled back to tie the game 6-6. The crowd was on their feet as it came down to the last round and Team USA took the win 7-6. It was amazing play and a huge comeback as Team USA is the best A.V.A Team in the World tonight. What a great way to end a great trip to Korea.
