The best reply EVAH...

Downloaded the HD version PV for BILLY BILLY today, and shared it with my friend. While his eyes fixated on the scenes with that girl in bikini, I shot him with a word, "Boobs?". He then gave me the best reply EVAH, "Nah, armpits."

Made me speechless for awhile. Fucking WIN, this is truly fucking WIN.


Just in case you guys don't know what I'm talking about, the following is the short version of the said PV:

Future Card Buddyfight! Wait... what?

Just saw this over BSR's official post awhile ago. "This century's strongest trading card game is finally here!", that's what BSR say about the TCG. You've gotta be kidding me, I lol'd a bit when I heard that. The both Japanese and English version of the TCG will simultaneously release on January 2014. Well, if you're a fan of BSR's card games, you could wait for it.

Anyway, links to the official announcement and site below:

[Cardfight!! Vanguard] Malaysian CFV Team Tournament Qualifier (Japanese version)

Toysbar (a card shop in Malaysia) hosted the first Malaysian qualifier for Japanese version CFV Team Tournament today. Just for the sake of passing time, I took my Bermuda PRISM deck, teamed up with two of my friends, Leon and Persoiden as Team TATMOH (well, it's the nickname of TB's boss). I thought after not playing VG for such a long time, I'd be very rusty in it, but luckily I still manage to pull off a decent result.

Out of the 4 swiss rounds in the group stage, I manage to get 3 wins; while as a team, we won all 4 rounds being the only team that manage to win every round in group stage. In the knockout stage, 4 teams are being pit against each other with wins per player are being decided by the best of three. In the first knockout stage, I manage to win 2 straight matches against a MLB deck, as well as my teammates winning their respective matches. However, in the second and final stage, I lost 2 straight matches to the new Naru Eraser deck. Unfortunately, Leon and Persoiden lost too, and we ended up 2nd overall.


The following are the clans and results I played against in the qualifier:
1st swiss: Naru DKV crossride - lost
2nd swiss: NG Beast Deity crossride - won
3rd swiss: Naru Eraser - won
4th swiss: Kagero Seal Dragon crossride - won
1st knockout: MLB-Alfred - won | won
2nd knockout: Naru Eraser - lost | lost


Since our team is in the top 4, we managed to reserve ourselves a slot the in next qualifier (I guess continental qualifier?) in Singapore on 6th or 7th July, though I might not be able to attend since I'll be attending HaKU's concert on the evening of 7th July. So, team TATMOH might need to replace a member in my place for the qualifier, but I think my teammates mare considering to pass our rights to join the qualifier to another team. Nonetheless, it still gives me some satisfaction, knowing that my skills in VG isn't that rusty.

However, there's still something bugging me. As far as I recall, the team we were playing against in the final stage was a Singaporean team. The prize for winning the qualifier is transport and accommodation to Singapore for the qualifier in Singapore. The prize can passed down to the second, third or fourth placed team, if the first placed is willing to. Since they are a Singaporean team and of course, the first placed team members are from Singapore, transport and accommodation are not a problem to them. However, they are not willing to pass down the prize for free, instead asking for a huge fee for the prize. Now, the prize is not permitted to be sold or auction in any form, and you may be disqualified from the tournaments for doing so. Furthermore, by charging a huge fee for the prize, this is quite the unsportsmanlike of the Singaporean team. I mean, they are staying in Singapore which means they have no problems with accommodation and transport. Besides, they've won the English qualifiers on Saturday which promises the exact prize and they attempted to sell it off. Instead of being such money minded, why not pass down to teams that really need the accommodation and transport to get to Singapore?

Before you're saying that I'm doing this for myself or my teammates, do recall what I wrote on top, there's a huge chance that I will not be participating the qualifier since I'm attending a concert on the same date as the qualifier, and it's possible my team will give up the slot to join the qualifier. I'm just voicing out my opinion as a player. How about you, what do you think about this?




/updated: Both Japanese and English versions Tag Team qualifier will be held on 7th of July at Suntec City Convention Hall, Sinagpore and Team TATMOH will not be joining the qualifier. BSR Singapore made a good decision in revoking the prizes (accommodation and transportation to Singapore) won by the Singaporean team as mentioned above since they are from Singapore. I'm not usually a fan of BSR's decisions, but this time they made a good one and the Singaporean team deserved to have their prizes revoked.
