This session was organised by Obiwan (thanks for the effort man...), it was a get-together cum gaming session... Only seen quite a few people for the 1st time, like cloud, drag, marcus etc etc... And by the end of the session, we still only address each other by the nick rather than the real name... :)

Game 1:

Sentinel	Scrouge
Dalaimana (Shaman) Obiwan (Razor) thierry (Bristleback)	dragon (Skeleton King) lioncubNewbie(??)

This game was pretty imbal cos it was 3 v 2 and also drag was having some problem with his mouse... seems like there was a lag in the reponse time for the mouse, due to the graphics settings.... nothing spectacular really, push in all the way in less than 1/2 hour...

Game 2:

Sentinel	Scrouge
cloud (CM) Dalaimana (Shaman) thierry (Bristleback) UT (Lich)	007 (Chaos Knight) Newbie (DP) Reddyone (Sniper) singpoo (Terrorblade) sotong (Lion)

Usually in a 4 v 5 game, the game is always in favour to the team of 4, unless the game really stretches... maybe this is due to the slight headstart in gold and also more exp when farming... This game lasted for about 1.5hrs, i think... early game face 2 heroes at the bottom lane (Lion and Terrorblade i think), but then managed to hold out for a while.. though died a couple of times... Have to chiong during GB bcos i'm the only tanker for the team... but as the game progressed, managed to build up my items and get more kills... Managerd to push through the center in the end...

Game 3:

Sentinel	Scrouge
cloud (Rooftrellen) Dalaimana (Enigma) thierry (Necrolyte) UT (Sand King)	=.= (Skeleton King) 13 (Visage) dragon (Centaur) lion (BF)

This was a tough game when you looked at the line-up, but from the hero choice, Sentinel looks stronger, with many AoE stunners... again went bottom lane at the start and met drag... was pretty glad cos i can harass him with my range attack... but then =.= came by to help and I had no choice but to stay near my tower... then DM came to help outand we managed to push them back abit and get a couple of kills... Twice i remember trying to teleport away before getting killed, but twice also failed... However, during GB we have the advantage of alternate stun, so most of the time my team prevail... In the end we won the game as well...

I think we all had great fun during the session, and after that we went for dinner and debrief session... :P
