Magic The Gathering - Malaysia

Smalltalk: After receiving some feedback, I have decided to put up the coverage in the new format as well as speeding up (hopefully) the delivery of the coverage. I still have 2 GPTs worth of backlog, but hope to put it up as soon as possible as I seem to be running out of creative excuses and blaming school and personal life is getting kinda old. Hope you guys like the new changes!

Mohamad Nazim is GPT Singapore Manawerx 1st March Champion!



Five times' the charm for Mohamad Nazim as he finally won his 3 round byes to GP Singapore after an amazing run of 5 top 8 appearances out of 5 attempts at the circuit of GPTs currently running in the country as his friend Matthew Wong graciously conceded the 3 round byes for Nazim.

Nazim squeaked into the top 8 with his Faeries deck but managed to dealt with Chen Tze Kang's Mono-Red Burn in the quarterfinals before having to fight through Rajesh Ganesan's Dark Bant in order to reach the finals. Meanwhile, Matthew Wong killed off Vincent's Gan with his Faeries deck's attempt to deny other players of the 3 round byes after winning the previous GPT at Comics Corner just last weekend on the 22nd of February but not before dispatching Brendan Soo's Bant deck in the quarterfinals while Lee Jia Liang's Affinity and Chong Kin Leong's Bant fell wayside on the way to the semifinals.

Mohamad Nazim now joins Hari, Hafiz, Ong Joe Lin, Zac Hill, Kenneth Wong and Vincent Gan as winners of GPT Singapore in Malaysia as the GPT season start to wind up with a final one at Decards on the 8th of March 2009 before the PTQ Honolulu season gets underway right after that and of course, GP Singapore looms right behind.

It is exciting times for Extended players with plenty of bounty, fame and glory to be had!
