Hi guys let me introduce myself, as you may already know I'm the youngest and also the newest member of FnaticMSI.Dota team.


I'm the one on the right =p. This photo is taken on jakarta's airport, before we went China(GuangZhou)(melen's gf took it)

My real name is Farand Kowara, I'll be 20 next april =D. I like playing games a lot. Somehow I got hooked into pawning people in dota =p, because when you pawn someone it feels really great lol.(but being pawned sucks though =D)

Through hard work and training and lots of discussion among the team..
here I am with the FnaticMSI.Dota team going to China to compete with other strong teams.


On the plane we are still sleepy and tired. Except RitteR though,he was reading a book about how to make lots and lots of money. LOL

Okay when we arrive @ GuangZhou Airport I was (forced) to speak chineese lol. Coz the people there hardly knows how to speak English. As the only one who can speak a little bit of Chinese, I asked around and got us into our place to check in for our domestic flight to WuHan.


But before the flight our stomach roars and calls for a buffet =D

When we finished eating we didn't go off just like that, we discuss our tactics here after the meal also!!(Well it's also because we got hell lot of a time before our next flight) I think the waitresses there just want to make us go by looking sharply LOL. (We stayed about two and a half hours!!)


Devil May Cry 4 in glasses version =D It's blurry without the glasses but with the glasses it's a 3d world !!



We reached the place for MGC and it was quite big but only a few stands is there. And one of it is the DMC 4 stand =p.!



FnaticMSI.Focus ^^


Day 1

On the first match we got beaten by colorful(PV).But that didn't stop us to win the next match.And our next opponent was Ehome, our biggest threat! And yes,through long and tough match we won against Ehome. That raises our morale and will to win this lan tournament =D. After we cleared day 1 we went shopping around WuHan accompanied by Cat(A very kind girl who showed us around WuHan). Cat is very kind though we first met at MGC she is willing to show us famous WuHan foods like cold & spicy duck (which definitely Lakuci won't eat =p). Oh yean, and melen bought some Beijing olympiade dolls.


Cat is the girl in the center =D


We got back to our hotel and see how happy RitteR looks =D

Day 2
In the fourth match against colorful(PV) we got our revenge for losing the first match against them.

Fifth match against KS.Int we was owned at first because I think they are going to make RitteR's Meepo feed marking him very tightly. But in the mid-late game we won some battles and that get us back in the game. At late game RitteR's Meepo make the enemies can't get out of their base because he got travel and keep pushing bottom line. And Lakuci's visage pushing mid. Well I heard one of KS.Int player keep on repeating this line "don't stick together". I think he's stressed out because of RitteR's Meepo LoL.

Sixth match (Final) against CaNt before the match start.I heard CaNt member shouted this in Chinese "Just shout when u want to attack they don't understand what we are saying. "well I thought they know i can speak a little bit of Chinese *giggle*. As usual we got owned at first, and managed to change the position from losing into winning.

Seventh match (Final) against CaNt we were on fire. And somehow we managed to win this quickly and be the champion of MGC 2008!!


RitteR holding the trophy happily =D

U can download the replays from http://dota.sgamer.com. Try using google to translate it into english ^_^. So then this is about all I can to show you on our journey MGC 2008 (FnaticMSI.Dota brings home $4370 =p). Thanks to everyone who always support us and rooting for us. Next overseas LAN tournament will be on Malaysia SMM ($10,000 for first place!). Wish us luck and don't forget to root for us there =D cya...

By the way a little more from me.. When i first joined the team and train with them I felt a bit outcast coz I'm new and all.. But then after MGC I felt closer to the team and we talk quite a lot nowadays hehe.. Sorry if I made mistakes writing the blogs, because I never written one before *giggle*.
