21.11.2008 – that is the day and we have 7.35 pm.
It was a weird week and the weirdest weather today which I ever saw in my life. Let’s start a bit earlier – on Monday which was the 17th I had planned that Grubby and Moon practiced 2on2 together, which was the reason for Grubby to stay in Seoul, Korea S., but somehow everything got fucked up.
Grubby’s mobile phone was fucked up and somehow it was not working well as I expected it to work, he wrote me an email saying that his phone was somehow dead and somehow strange. When I tried to call him, it was always a mailbox answering and when Susiria tried to call him it was always some 50 year old woman talking.
Well after a while we gave it up and said we try on the 18th again, we were trying around some combinations already for the 2on2 since my nerves were killing me. I wanted a prepared 2on2 team for the most important match of 2008.
I was walking back and forth all day thinking about the best combination and then I heard about Moon being sick, but I was really shocked about it at first, I could not believe why these things always happen to me when I have pressure on my shoulders and I could not believe why guy above the clouds allowed this to happen, but then again I could not change anything and had to deal with those given problems.
On the 19th which was already play day I got the message that Moon was on the way to the hospital, as soon as I heard that I could not imagine what he meant by that, since everything is mostly called hospital, even though you just visit a normal doctor to get some medicine. So I was in close contact to my team captain Susiria and my one part of the 2on2 Grubby. In the end Moon made it to the pc bang (internet café) and Grubby and Moon practiced 2on2 together. The match started, Nordahl was as thrilled as me about the match and it started off not that good, with losing the 2on2 with 0-2 and seeing a not good shape at the current 2on2 team,…
The Soccer kicked off and raped Winners pretty hard and my head was doing better again, Susiria and Grubby’s 1on1 were to be played at the same time, which means that those can decide about life or death.
Grubby started with a win and Susiria with a loss, in an endless fight Susiria made it back to win 2-1 and all my hopes were on Grubby to finish the clan war with a 3-1 score, but he told me seconds after that he lost.
Moon vs FoV was postponed and I was not sure how his illness was going to affect him, Grubby gave me some tips about how to deal with it and I tried to calm my nerves by biting my pen.
Next day 9 am the match was scheduled to kick – off, I woke up at 4 am drinking coffee like a crazy motherfucker and trying to have something to do. Susiria was there and arranged 1on1s vs Moon, which he mostly all won, I watched all replays and I was already a bit more comfortable after seeing Moon actually playing good games, even though he lost. At 7.30 am I was already in the WC3L Channel of GArena (a program which is offering delay less gaming) and I was waiting for the match, Moon and FoV started, time ran fast and faster and super fast. Games were over, my heart nearly collapsed and my brain could not realize the win at first.
A good working team! (picture taken from www.myMYM.com
We won with a three to two score over mTw.AMD, who played an awesome match against us and I am a bit sad that Fov and WhO cannot make it to the finals. But at this point I have to say, MYM.wc3 I love you and thank you for this great moments.
Earlier this week we saw myMYM and SK-Gaming having blogs and interviews about the future of the team leagues and if it’s worth the price of having a 5 man roster in order to compete in those tournaments, I can say: The fun factor of being part in a team which is winning is amazing and should be felt by everyone out there. myMYM|Beemit wrote an article about the manager decision which you can find at the www.myMYM.com A Managers Decision.
It takes two to tango, as I decided to be my headline, is there because I could not have advanced to the WC3L grand final without having my team helping so great and being good friends for the whole season. Thank you Susiria, Grubby, Lucifer, Moon, Eve, Soccer and thank you to Tomlew who made this great header!

Tomlew just created a shirt which could be mine, if I just were famous!
Nice read, Matt. Moon gave us all a heart attack with that ‘on time’ sickness of his -.-
