Site of Pro Tour Amsterdam
Arrived at Amsterdam on thursday afternoon. Met up with everyone in the hotel. Taiwan peeps, Hong Kong peeps and our Singapore guys. :) Figured our way around, went for lunch and half the group for a museum visit and the rest of us, Weng Heng, Clifford, Taufik, Chapman and myself went to the tournament venue. :)
The place is amazing! My first experience visiting a Pro-Tour site. The fluff is fabulous! First up, at the entrance, there is a trophy cabinet showing all the current and past trophies that all the champions had hoisted to victory! Just check out all the photos! :)
Chapman and me played the LCQ ( Last Chance Qualifiers) and I got a 5-4 and he was at 6-1, then 6-3. So sad. :( Over the weekend, I played PTQ and the foil set Standard Constructed event. All in all, over the past week, I played quite a few events. 3 grinders, 1 GP, 3 PTQs, 1 Standard and a couple of drafts. :)
A couple of us, Chapman, Shi Tian, Zhiyang, Chye Wee and me, went a couple of museums, had a hell of a big pack of chips, got some drinks by the canal and took a stroll around the alleys of the Amsterdam. It was really an eye-opener! :p Brought some space cakes and went back to the hotel to draft. It was a crazy 10-men pod. I think some of us had a tad too much cake… What a way to end Amsterdam! hahaha!
Kuo Tzu-Ching had a very good start, with 6-2 on the first day. Hao-shan and Shi Tian got into Day 02 with 5-3, Weng Heng went 4-4, Chye Wee was 4-3-1 and Taufik crashed out with 3-5. :(
In the end, Shi Tian was the biggest money finisher! :) YeaH! Congrats! :D
Something very note! The last night in the hotel, half of the guys got stuck in the lift! hahaha! Shi Tian, Tzu-Ching and others. It was so funny! They were calling for help and we were laughing on the outside. Haha! must be the cake... hmm... :)
