Penang MPOC3

Day One
The team arrived in Penang bout 7am, everybody had a good nap before heading to the stadium. It was an impressive setup at the stadium - with the scoreboard and all. Our game started at 1530pm, KBz was scheduled to play PPSC’s Orient Legion and Immortalz, both strong Penang teams and playing at their homeground - all gunning for us…:)
As expected our 1st D2 M7 game was against Orient Legion and was an engaging battle never seen before since Desert Storm…or whatever they r calling it now… - it was bunker to bunker, pellets sputtering, gas hissing, loader kaput fight to the end. We lost our 1st set - but we manage to rebound in the sets after, and it finally came to a draw score line. The air was thick with anticipation and humidity…

YES…it’s a 1on1 KBz against OL. KBz’s captain, Ice, prepared himself; put on his red, yellow and turquoise ninja suit…concentrates on his katana and meditates. He sees himself flying, soaring above the clouds chasing after a rabbit…no its not…its Speck…suddenly Speck transform into a …jockey?? But that’s another story…hahahahaha. The 1on1 started with an end to end bunker skirmishes and some smart snapshooting…the OL sniper moves…Ice countered, taking the fight to the Orient Legionnaire sniper – after an intense stop and go snapshooting, the OL went down…and Killer Beez takes the game.

Our 2nd game was about 2 hours later, against Immortalz (the last leg champs) we took the 1st and the 2nd sets. In the 2nd set, the opponents were rushing towards KBz’s starting gate to hit the non existence buzzer and put us out of our misery –BUT, that was not to be. The Immortalz were about 5 seconds to the gate when Zafry and Ice, working in tandem – took out the not so immortal kamikazes. Zafry got shot out on the way… the Marshalls met for a sec to decide on the situation…quite a little bit of discussion was going on...”cramp cramp no no no …yes yes yes…maybe..hmm….water water” could be overheard…the Marshalls then awarded the set to us. For our 3rd set – there was about 1 minute and 30 seconds of game time remaining and with 2-0 score, we just needed to hold them, easier said than done. Then with 10 seconds remaining, Team Killer Beez summoned the ancient great spirit of Naruto and took out the opponents, the Marshalls shouted “FREEEEEZEEE” and KBz clinches the game with a 3-0 score line win.
Told u these guys will fight tooth and nail.

We had a lot of support from Mark and Ali as crew, Team XFox – Redz (who worked very hard, screaming and shirtless...), Hamman, Ereeq, Gorgon, Jakes and Gary, who’s coaching was instrumental in our win against Orient Legion.
….Well, we did ok today but tomorrow would be another round of tough games. So far since the start of the 1st MPOC this year, team KBz had not yet drop a game - a remarkable achivement..if u ask me lah....and we will try our best to maintain that...

siapa kite..killerz -
siapa kite..killerz -
siapa kite..Killer Beez.
It was great to hear the cheer reverberating throughout the stadium…..

Day Two
Welcome back to the City Stadium Penang, Day 2 of the “world renowned MPOC” 3rd leg, would the rise in temperature be the benchmark of the pace that is yet to come. We came and prepared our logistix (had our breakfast @ the Vistana - thanx XFoxes).
Our 1st game was to be against CMX Buccaneers, a hard fighting team. Both teams were already on the edges, fingers at the trigger. The KBz CMX game started about 1100, we positioned facing the scoreboard. Then the CMXs came into the padang..from far, it looks like everyone of them were with 7 pods…I knew then there’s gonna be trouble.
GAMEON – the pelleterings of pellets started, everybody moves into their respective bunkers…every bunker have their mirror. None of the opponents seems to be moving forward – the pellets keep coming…I’m hot I’m hot, (yep there’s a lot of that) someone crossed, “Splat”, I’m out…we kept on fighting for a little longer – We lost the set…


The 2nd set was a bit better; we started out lining the opponents taking 1 or 2 out @ breakout, someone rushed to the 50s, , KBzs backmans then started to neutralize CMXs flanks breaking down their fire concentration and KBz took the 2nd set. Score now set @ 1-1. The firepower coming from CMX in the 3rd set was more intense than the other sets, back flanks started to get shot off. The team forwards started to move to the 30s and 40s..CMX crosses and…..game over.
Our first game defeat since MPOC1 (not counting coin tossing). Score line: 2 CMX 1 KBz.

Killer Beez 2nd game for the day was against Bioshock, a team from Penang. We heard from intel that Bioshock’s training partners are some big names in the paintball fraternity…anyways, we never underestimate our opponents. XFox’s Gorgon coached and crewed and filled gas and pellet pods and wiped paints and all the other stuff – thanx Gorgon. Set 1 was fast and furious, after our last defeat against CMX, we cannot afford to drop anymore games – our Penang budget was at stake – I can already hear it in my head, Ice’s warning “oiiii kita kena menang ni…aku dah kira pakai jari…kalau tak menang sorang kena bayar RM500 …nanti habis budget engine turbo aku...”, and that scared the shit out of everybody…Ice and me flanked Bioshock from the right facing the scoreboardless area, the others team members move from the snake and left “teabag” heh heh…pushing forward and taking out anything that moves…unfortunately, including marshals….KBz took 2nd set. One more come on!

3rd set starts…everything was according to plan, initially anyways - then, one by one, the KBzs got taken out…then 3 Bioshockers came running towards Ice and bunkered him… Score line was @ 2 -1. 4th set starts, this time KBz was out for blood – they rush up and took the Bioshockers out and taking the game @ 3 -1.

We then rested, while waiting (actually quite a long while) for the other teams to finished up their games. CMX and Killer Beez were tied, Werdna Escort had already confirmed their place in the finals – the organizers decided that CMX and Killer Beez fight it out in another 1on1 to decide who will go into the finals with Werdna Escort – Werdna Escort top their group without dropping a game. After the Div 1 1on1s with 3 coin tossed, KBz and CMXs champions got ready for the 1on1 set – Zafry coaching for Ice and Zamry sniping for CMX. Both players started slow both were understandably cautious. After trading shots, Ice maneuvered and managed to hit his opponents right on the mask - gameover – Team Killer Beez was in their 3rd consecutive MPOC finals.

The game between 3rd and 4th placing were fought between teams CMX and Spectre. Both teams played a fast game, bunker to bunker. – CMX took the 1st set and Spectre took the 2nd set with a very brave moved by Lindsay to rush and touch the starting gate. It ended in a draw setting up for another 1on1. The 1on1 also resulted in a draw – thus another coin toss, (should have a syllabus for coin tossing). Luck was again not on CMX side and Team Spectre took the 3rd place.

The D2 Finals – 1630 Teams Werdna Escort against Killer Beez.
The set started with the Beez running and shooting into the opponent’s bunkers. Werdna Escort attacked from the snake flank taking out our back and crossing hitting our forwards and left back – we lost the 1st set. In the 2nd set, things got worst, technical problems. Only Zafry and Speck was left shooting. The team decided to throw in the towel with about 3 minutes left. 3rd set starts – Coach Redza were shouting instructions left and right – massive exchange of pellets ensued.
10 seconds on the clock – Redza was shouting for the team to move – Sky moved from left to right taking out 1 opponent then another – Axn slides from the back teabag thru to right to the middle temple – Zafry to the 50 – everybody was poised to move forward. Axn rush to the opponents 30s running and shooting – the crowds were counting down the seconds, 9…8…7..Axn taken out by Werdna’s middle temple – gameover – Werdna Escort clinched the D2 TYTs MPOC championship – Killer Beez took 2nd place.

Team Killer Beez would like to thank Propaintball, KCHL, IsiRimba, Napshot and the crews and teams that supported us.. Thank You.

Congratulations to all winners!
