Student Life

So yesterday, all IIUM Army and Airforce students are involved in the launching of the 100 Wira Malaysia book. IIUM was made the host for this event. The most honourable guest that came today was the Minister of Defence himself, YB Dato’ Seri Dr. Hj. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

A few of my squad mates and I were involved in a little gimmick during the official launching of the book by Dato’ Seri. The event went well and many enthusiastic uniform bodies students shook hands and took pictures with Dato’ Seri afterwards.

For your information, I’m a DotA gamer. I love playing DotA. So last Saturday my friends and I participated in a DotA 2 tournament at Orange cybercafe, Wangsa Maju. The registration was free. The picture below is a picture of my team taken before the match begins. One person is missing from the picture below and that is Syahmie. He came a little late.

There were 31 other teams. So the first team we were up against was the Orange Team. The team that represents the cybercafe. That was the last team on the list that we would not want to fight against, moreover for our first match. Tough luck I guess. So what else do u guys expect? We got beaten so badly on our first game.  It was a single elimination tournament, so there was no second game for us. We’re out of the tournament.

But it’s ok. We already knew what was coming at us. It was the first ever DotA 2 tournament that we have ever participated in. Our skills are not even comparable with other players.  We lack training and synergy between ourselves. We didn’t have time for training because of studies and all. The point is, we had fun and experienced a match against a pro team in a league :)
