So I finally made it to KL, my 1st overseas tournament in Asia. Some stuff were the same as I have experienced, some were different. Surprisingly, its actually more expensive to play in Asia than in Europe. Hotels eat up a big part of the budget. And my 1st time playing for team which wasn’t a pickup team. Needless to say, the dynamics were a whole lot different.
Overall I thought it was enjoyable. I was disappointed in some ways though, some games were just utter crap.
One thing I learnt. Mental strength. Its one thing to have the skill, and its another thing to believe that you can be better than the other team. And you need to trust your teammates to think the same way, that despite the strength of the other team you can be better, that you can conquer them. Its all in the mind. To know that you are able to deliver at the tournament, your 110% and it would be better than the 110% of your opponent.
One tournament. I think I learnt a lot, not just skills and experience. I am slightly clearer in the direction I want to go, yet, unsure how I want to go towards it. For now, its saving up for the next tourney. =)
