results of SBH fifa tourney

the tournament ended today..

a total of 24 players joined the tournament, almost all the players from sher e bangla hall -split into 6 groups of 4 players each. the group champs and best two runners-ups advanced to quarter final. the quarter-finals:
shamim vai vs topu(won)
sajib(won) vs asif
anonno(won) vs murtaza vai
fahad(won) vs salman

semi-finals:
topu(won) vs fahad
sajib(won) vs anonno

final was between topu and sajib, and sajib became the champion.

playing and watching this tournament was fun. the matches were very competitive and standard very high. i think everybody who took part learned a lot from it.

i went out in the quarter finals and i'm rather bitter about it.. i conceded freak goals, my luck was out and i even missed a penalty. anyways.. the best players played in the final match and the best of the best won.. i have no doubt about it.

i heard a tournament involving whole buet is going to take place.. organized by cse. let's see about it..

what's been happening

long time since last post..

the main thing is i am playing badly. i am always generous when it comes to sharing gameplay tips and stuffs with others. the result is.. most of the people i play with has started to read my game very well and i am no longer comfortable playing with them. anyways.. it means i have to improve further.. and if i do, that's good.

we got some more generous big brothers in SBH. almost always a couple of pc's and a couple of players are available there so it's easy to have instant lan parties now. the downside is -those pc's don't run fifa that well.. so i can't quite play my usual game.

what's more, we're all going to use gamepads. already i practice with nirjhor's g/p, study the tricks and play on PS2.

mercury vs topway

this is a sad :( follow-up of 'mercury vs thrustmaster' -the previous post.. cause in last two days i didn't win a single match against nirjhor.. and he played with my cheap topway gamepad which has no analog stick or even a shift button.

why did i do so badly? it is obvious that nirjhor is always getting better. it is more difficult to dispossess him now than before. his finishing has also improved.. actually he played 4-5-1 with lone striker.. so he attacked very very well. i stuck with 4-4-2 which was probably another mistake.. he overloaded the midfield while i put too many men at the back. i think i'll switch to 3-4-1-2 next time we play.
