    :)

    there were indeed great closely fought matches against Lam! there were many 3 gamers that got my whole team on our feet and the edge of our chairs. my stomach was still churning with tension well into the night. we lost fair and square to a better team.

    we will come back stronger next year. so train hard. :D

    and these are some of the company representatives who made this great event possible. there should be 14, some of them were not present when the photo was taken. the rep's fearless leader is the third guy from the right in the back row.

    Hmm..

    ..i know the reason why eBay, Oracle and Cisco finished 1 through 3 respectively. It's because they had Lily Zhou in their corner, i mean she's in all 3 pics. Hmm, your team should hire her for next yr..:cool:
    ..i notice you're standing next to eBay's fearless leader. Hmm, are you trying to switch team for next yr??..:confused:

    Where are the other team pictures?

    There are still 11 team pictures missing... come on guys and gals. Also, anyone has a shot of the "bracket result"?

    Noticed one thing about the top two winning teams, you have to wear team uniforms and they have to be dark colors. Lili is no exception. :D

    OMG. Oracle only got 3 pts, and it's the final!? Look like the gap between EBay and the rest is like Grand Canyon.

    Excellent video. Thanks for the upload.

    the Oracle pair woke up in the next game. i managed to watch the last game and the Oracle guys gave them a good fight. their reaction in defend is pretty incredible.

    Yes, the 2nd game ended with 22-20 I believe, it was a close game. The 1st MD match was a 3 games event, tightly contested, too.

    Yes, I heard Cisco put up a good fight against EBay. But didn't get to watch the actions on the other side much. What about a mini BACBC round robin group play for the top 4 (or 6?) teams in the Fall? :rolleyes::):cool:

    Thats a good idea we should definitely plan for this mini tournament after 6months.. i think all the top 6 teams will be interested in this as well.
