RWC 2007: Prelude - Philippines vs Korea

It’s already 4:00AM here in Seoul, Korea. I’m having some trouble trying to get some sleep so I decided to put in one more blog post before I go back to bed. I just wanted to let you guys know the schedule for today, as well as some thoughts on the upcoming semi-finals match between the Philippines and Korea. For the schedule, the semi-finals match start at around 10:00AM. Team Philippines will take on Korea and eURO will battle against Thailand. Like what I said in one of my previous posts, Team Korea dominated Japan in their first match. When Korea went up against Russia, they were also able to bounce back after suffering one loss. Team PH, on the otherhand, was also able to deal with Indonesia and Brazil. More analysis and thoughts after the jump.

Korea’s style is really aggressive. Their line-up is composed of the following: Champion, Professor, High Wizard, High Priest, Minstrel/Clown, Paladin, and an Assassin Cross. Their strategy is comparable to a blitzkrieg, wherein they bum rush the opposing team and they try to do a shock-and-awe thing by coming out with guns blazing. The SinX is doing multiple Soul Destroyers with the attack speed amplified by the Bragi’s Poem of their Minstrel. In their match against Russia, Korea suffered a loss when their offensive tactics backfired when their Professor moved to fast. Team Russia capitalized by zeroing in on the Professor, taking him out. The succeeding matches told a different story though as Korea made sure that they moved as one when they engaged Russia.

Team Philippines, on the other hand, has a line-up that will be a good match for Korea’s playing style. I won’t give away the details yet but most of you probably know already the main strategy of Armada. When the battle starts later, home court advantage will obviously be in favor of the Korean team and this will give them much needed momentum. This will be a difficult and challenging fight and at this point let’s just give our prayers and faith to the members of Team Philippines. I don’t know if I can rush back to the hotel to do an update after the match. Milton will probably update Lieza anyway so she’ll be the one to break the news to everyone - good or bad. I’m confident though that we will give one hell of a fight against the local favorite!

That’s it until the match later! Wish us luck people! Wauks out.

LABAN PILIPINAS!

The euRO team fought hard and bravely but lost these two matches. They will fight Philippines in the match for 3rd place.

    July 22nd, 2007 at 12:34 pm

    nag stat reset pla korea, me NPC na reset stat now lng nlaman ng RP na me stat reset d2 kase sa tin wala nmn stat reset na npc pag sa private server ka naglaro eh. so nging advantage tlga sa korea since alam nila me gypsy RP, nag SD lng ng SD yng klban nila habang nsa bragis nging useless yng scream ng gypsy nmin. nwei nice game pa din RP team at least tyo never nagpalit ng stats.


  89. ok lang yan kahit papano umabot tayo ng semis.
    uwi na team PH RWC naman sunod target!


  90. ok lang yan kahit papano umabot tayo ng semis. uwi na team PH RPC naman sunod target!


  91. Eh yang mga koreanong yan wala n ginawa yan kundi mglaro eh lahat ng games alam mapawarcraft starcraft p yan. Pero s totoo homecourt advantage lang tlga un. Nachambahan lang team pinas. Kung sa pinas yan nangyari bka inde n mgkarinigan s lakas ng sigaw na “GO PINAS!!”


  92. that stat reset smells fishy to me… ano silbe nung pag set ng mga stats nila nung first day??? napaka unfair… did they announced na may stat reset??? kaya nga sa una palang eh pinag set na sila ng mga build nila para wala nang scouting diba para fair sa lahat… the first build must be their final build.

    RP was robbed…

  94. ay futcha eh kung alam lang nila may stat reset edi champion na!


  95. Pwede ba mag-stat reset sa gitna ng laban? I think DQ na dapat sila pag ganun dba? Hmmm… Congrats Team Armada/Boza! With or without “Stat Resets” you guys did a great job. /no1


  96. Wag na tayo magreklamo about s stat reset ng korea desperado lang sila manalo s pinas kc alam nila inde nila tayo kaya. Homecourt advantage nga kakahiya nman pag ginulpi sila ng team pinas s harap ng crowd nila kaya aun ngdesperate measure n sila.


  97. Baka inanounce ung stat reset, kaso in KOREAN…hehe

  99. heh wakokz inanounce daw kaso in korean languange.. ampopopo :he:


  100. nag stat reset daw mga taga korea kaya na swipe ang laban


  101. big improvement and achievement na rin stin ang makapasok ng semi-finals.. tska may 3rd place pa kaya don’t lose hope.. Go Team Philippines! ^^

    nwei nice game na lng din pra sa tin d best pa din RP.


  104. Expected na talaga na talo ang Team PH after naming mabasa yung nasa blog ni Waukeen.

    [quote]Korea’s style is really aggressive. Their line-up is composed of the following: Champion, Professor, High Wizard, High Priest, Minstrel/Clown, Paladin, and an Assassin Cross. Their strategy is comparable to a blitzkrieg, wherein they bum rush the opposing team and they try to do a shock-and-awe thing by coming out with guns blazing. -from Waukeen’s Blog[/quote]

    The Dispel- Asura combo was first used by Team Rads last RPC 2005. Ito rin ang ginagamit ng Team PH- Armada based sa observation namin. The only way to win against this strategy is to become aggressive. Lumaban ng malapitan and stay focus. Saan ba nakilala mga Koreano? Hindi ba sa pagiging magaling sa “micro-management”. Btw proven na iyan 2 years ago na.


  105. Stat Reset was announced I have no idea Why PH team didn’t know about it… /hmm


  106. TALO KUNG TALO~!!! OKS LANG YAN MGA PEOPLE ATLEAST THEY PROVED N MAY LABAN ANG MGA PINOY~!!!


  107. Gumagaling tau every RPC! Dapat next time 1st na ah!

    Nice game to our representatives. Philippines is VERY proud of you guys.

    Good luck sa next match nyo ^_____^
