And so it begins today… for weeks now, the boys of Sequel Juan Luna (in Davao City) have been practicing, days AND nights. This time, the team wasn’t formed for the purpose of joining the tournament. These boys, my boys (and I’m proud to say that) are regular players at Sequel Juan Luna and they would regularly play over LAN against players and teams of the other Sequel branches (all Sequel branches are connected by LAN). Their consistent performance gave me the idea of motivating them to join the upcoming Kadayawan Tournament. And they realized their potential as a team.

Without much further ado, let me introduce…

TEAM PUSSY
Mark Anthony Jamora aka ` PuSsy.mcdo
Gerald dela Cerna aka ` PuSsy.aiwem
Rogin Brylle Saso aka ` PuSsy.bryl
Shad Jeffrey Acosta aka ` PuSsy.smiley
Elmer Mailwas aka ` PuSsy.jay cool

As most of you probably know already, I joined the DoTA All-Stars 1 vs 1 Tournament over at BoyzTrek Jacinto (Davao City) yesterday afternoon. Needless to say, I lost. I will not give reasons and excuses for my loss… because reasons are for losers. Quote me on that please. I think, however, that my participation was not a lost cause because I learned a lot. For one, I learned that I need to practice more. Secondly, I learned that a lot of guys talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk. Many gamers vowed and even promised they would join, that they would beat the unbeatable… but only 12 of us actually came and played. Here’s the list of Spartans who bravely gambled their PhP100 and their pride for glory and honor:
Jay “yajQt” Arabia of Team NoMets - BoyzTrek
Rioren Padama of Team NoMets - BoyzTrek
Chian “Boy Huskar” Coronel of Blinque Tech - Blinque / BoyzTrek
Jeztah Ching of Team NoMets - BoyzTrek
Jericho “Liz7″ Oñate - Sequel Juan Luna
RJ Jose of Team PuSsy - Sequel Juan Luna
Yuki “Anak ng Tondo” Perez of Team NoMets - BoyzTrek
` m A j aka “ang batang napataob sa anak ng Tondo” of General Santos City
Franco aka Cocoy of DC Clan - BoyzTrek

Paul aka Brother of Paxel of Darth Gamers
Jansen aka NajFreak aka StarCraft Boy of Darth Gamers

HI! I’m Drew’s cousin, Ria Jose aka Polar. I am the new blogger here at the DotaStrategy.com Blog. So why did Drew pick me? Because I’m a blogger and I love to write about DoTA, games, gaming, and gamers. In fact, I already have a gaming blog: Ria At Play.

I used to manage a DoTA All-Stars Team. Now, I am training under some of the best players in the city as part of my quest to be a competitive DoTA player. Meanwhile, I am content with being a co-organizer of some tournaments in the city. And I constantly watch and observe practice and match games among some of the best teams here.
