Re: WROCLAW OPEN 2009

Nice picture made by xflea with all nicks

Tonight at about 9 PM Bulgarian Time we arrived safe in Bulgaria.
For me and for Sokol it was a very nice trip to Poland. We d like to thank the Polish players for the nice atmosphere and hospitality.
Because of the hurrying after the tournament we are sorry we couldn t say goodbye but we hope to see you soon and we are almost sure we will meet at Sensi Days 2010.

P.S. Foka, please give me a link for the replays from the tournament. If possible add the replays from my games with Bomb named BOMBMAR.RPL and MARBOMB.RPL . I think we saved them on Romaneq s computer. I hope you can find them.

Some impressions

First of all i have to say THANK YOU to the polish crew for the hospitality the foreign playern got !!!


The way to poland wasn´t easy, 3 traffic jams in germany and more than 1,5 hours delay on the way to Berlin !!! Bah that sucks. Behind Berlin the highway wasn´t that full anymore, and we come closer and closer to poland .
I have to say that i was full of prejudices. All that stuff someone told here and there and nothing is proved , but you go to believe that shit. Shame on me  The only thing the highway directly after the border! WTF, great stuff...70km testride ;D
Enough with that stuff...

Friday evening was great, we came a bit to late , because of the traffic jams i had , but not too late to met you all and drink some cheap beer in the disco ! Really fine ...we were back in the hostel at 3 AM. Some guys more sober than others ( What do you mean Lobo? )

In the morning on saturday we stand up  and drove to the location , that was a bit tricky, because the navigation from Colorado routed us a bit strange. Nevertheless we found the location and started with the preparing of the whole hardware. That was abit chaotic, hehe, but nothing special on such a big tournament and all on one day. Some little problems we had in the beginning , but all was fixed immediately by Romaneq !!! Great job mate

The tounament started with 2 hours delay , Foka wanted to start at 10 AM and we started around 12 AM. 8 groups on Amiga and 8 groups on PC with 6 opponents. Thats was just perfect, small groups and no long waiting times between your matches. I started really bad on PC , with 3 defeats and 1 draw! On Amiga i started well , but with 2 too easy wins ( 6-0 and 8-0 ) I was to sure that it would be run like that the whole time. After that i lost 3 times in a row on Amiga and i started to thinking about my mistakes. I never came in that offline flow i need to play well. I don´t know why...   :-\

I started to fight , and what shall i say , i won all my last Amiga matches (7W-0D-3L) and manged it to equalize my PC-table (4W-2D-4L)

Now the KO´s on PC . I must play vs Barto, on Amiga he was in my group and i won twice , but that has nothing to say about his PC-performance I won that match and was happy to be under the last 16, because PC is not my favorite system. In the next round i met Dzem...WOW what a defence. he headed and tackled all my balls away from his goal. He scored 3 times in both matches and i was able to beat his defence only 1 time . A deserved win for Dzem. In PC i was out , i wasn´t happy with my performance , but not sadly either.

On Amiga i have to play against Zienior in 1/16-final and i won that  matches. The next round , in the 1/8-final my friend Dior was waiting. And we played really ecxiting matches The first i played with tactic and i won 4-0, but in the 2nd i was too sure that i will gain the win.....Dior fighted back and he was really dangerous ! I thought to me f*** , fight man ! He only won the 2nd with 3-1 , so i was in the quarterfinal. My minimun goal i had before the tournament!
And now Foka was waiting . Maybe the best matches from me that evening! We played 3-2 and 1-2 ...and in the last min of the 2nd match Foka with a banana-shot from the corner of the penalty area.. i saved it with a header....phew  The referee was so shocked that he forgot to whistle ;D and i got a chance to score! From the right side a pass in penalty box to the long post ... keeper is beaten ...but Fokas defender on the goalline said NO and tackled my shot from the  goalline . OMFG , what a match. 2 rematches have to be played . In the first i go in the lead with 3-1 , but Foka with ultimate fighting , he won 4-3 ! Well played . In the 4th game my power was emtpy and Foka won 3-0. Hey man that was SWOS ! COOOOOOOOOL

At the end i was a cool , well organized and very nice event. That was my first , but not the last Wroclaw Open i´ll participate, i promise

Guys, if the Sensi Days next year are also organized in that way it will be a full success!!!

Cu next year mates and thanks for hosting

...
Marin with a big jump on No.4!

I am wondering if I should join Prague Open and beat that No. 5 position.
