The path i chose..the path i'd say goodbye.

This is how it all started a few years back..








Dota Allstars, a once unknown game. I started playing it with my friends in a now sucky cybercafe called ezone. As time passed, i learned more of the game and soon was very good in it.
After 2 years playing, my and my friend Daniel decided it was time to form our own team to go for competitive play.

Our team consist of me, Daniel, Adrian, Jason and ah Leong.
We played as a team for quite some time, but showed no progress. Then daniel decided to change the team and i tagged along.

We recruited 3 new members, Miyuki, Nicr and Han.
We were so good, we got MmoRpg ( a cyber cafe if u all dont know) to sponsor our gaming activities. They gave us free pc's to play, and even a jacket!!! cool lolz.
We later joined smm revenge Kl ( a dota tournament) and turned out champions in that event. Winning the grand prize of RM1000 ( quite lil tho hehe) thus, qualifying for the grand finals and standing a chance to win rm33000!
Yes yes, gaming can win u a whopping 33k.

I was on cloud nine, that victorious feeling is something that cannot be described by words.


There is no way i could hide my joy, for it was the first time i won a dota tournament. Best of all, not long only after forming a new team!!
All 5 of us were happy and we liked being in our new team.

Then problems started to occur.

First we didnt meet eye to eye in some things. Then ..this.







(The red words say : ''you have to start studying'')

So for your info, i got 0 for my chemistry quiz. (I know i know, kinda impossible rite? tembak also can get some marks lah! -.-)
Its true i suck in chemistry, but d fact that im being too actively involved in gaming has taken its toll on me. Ive never got 0 for quizzes/ test before. I was disappointed at myself.

Then at this moment where i was feeling down and sad, my team members confronted me. They were disappointed of the fact that i missed training on thurs night despite the fact that i had exams on friday! They even told me that they wanted to train more for the grand finals.
How much more i asked. ''2-3 times a week at LEAST'' was the reply.
.... i was left speechless. No way my dad would allow me that amount of time out playing and no way either i would allow myself to do that. So there was one option left for me, to quit the team.

My team mates were really nice. They plead for me to stay however they didnt want to give up the time planned to be spent on training. Daniel was most reluctant for me to leave.(Well, d fact is im good thats why lolzz..) Finally, we came to a decision. and by mutual consent, i decided to quit. If i said i was not sad even for a bit, i was lying. The times spent together was really fun. (Although it was kinda short) But im confident i have made the right choice for now, studies over play. An obvious yet hard to pick choice. =(

Nonetheless, ill never forget my teammates in team MmoRpg. I'd miss the times where they would call and compare me to Mym Merlini(A world class dota player) when i executed moves that seemed impossible, miss the times when they would laugh at me when i made mistakes, miss the times when we would sit by laughing happily at each other after managing to cheat the MmoRpg boss's money.. :D MmoRpg, It was an honour playing by your side.
Till then.
