Alpha Game of the Week:
Krungthep Garudas at Cambodia Mountain Men:
The Beasts of Bangkok fly east to prey upon the soft fleshy boys of the foothills, who fancy themselves men, and delight in hyperbole, dreaming up majestic names such as Cardamom and Dangrek Mountains, and the Elephant Range for their flacid strectches of hills. Caught daydreaming and prancing about, the "Men" make for a fine meal for their avian predators. GARUDAS by 14
-------
Mongolian Horde at Hiroshima Radiation:
The Horde enjoy their bye week, the only radiation they fear is staying out in the sun too long during their Japanese holidays. HORDE by 35
Tibet Psychonauts at Algeria Addiction:
Tibet has gone a long way to show that it belongs in this division, but they are still fathoms below Algeria. The Addiction give them a severe lesson in respecting their elders. ADDICTION by 24
Ho Chi Minh Hookers at Salford Storm: They say any port is good in a Storm, but Salford very well may regret hosting the Hookers for a match. Expect quite a tussle, but Ho Chi Minh subdues her foe. HOOKERS by 6
Columbus Black Knights at Padang Lightning:
The Lightning has suffered some disappointing losses recently, and are looking to turn things around with a statement game. The Knights don't intend to cooperate, and they're a solid enough squad to fend Padang off with a little luck and good preparation. LIGHTNING by 7
AFEF Hooligans at Pontianak Firebirds:
The Hooligans put up an indecent performance in Pontianak, where the Firebirds delight the crowd with an explosive offensive performance and try to shake off their meltdown in Week 5. Winning is the best medicine for morale. FIREBIRDS by 35
Manila Cyberballers at Pingree Grove Pits:
The Pits stink it up against an experience Manila team. After getting Cyberbowled like this, they'll want to flush the game tape away. CYBERBALLERS by 20
Phuket Water Dragons at Mount Figi Dogs:
If you've ever played D&D or other role-playing games, you know that most dogs are 1-3 Hit Dice and dragons are.. well, dragons are substantially higher. Not evena natural 20 will save the puppies. Phuket BBQ's Mount Figi and feasts on Japanese Hot Dogs. WATER DRAGONS by 35
Added Bonus - Mongolian Horde Interview - Part One
Syrk08 enjoyed the profile of Singapore Flames featured in last week's picks, and has been kind enough to offer up his team as a target, er um, I mean interviewee for Alpha conference. Thanks for volunteering, guys.
Mongolian Horde needs little introduction, a top league team that is overdue for advancement, they are the most feared team in Alpha after their hard-fought 1 pt victory over the Addiction. They are tough on both sides of the ball, it would not be surprising to see them hoist the league trophy this season.
Tell me about the history of the team. When did you buy it? How did you decide upon the name Mongolian Horde? What else was on the short list, were you considering other names as well?
Zhrakkan and I had dinner at a IHOP In Houston, Texas, and you know what we can do this. We bought the Mongolian horde as a 100% gutted team known as the Speedstreem Practice Squad. We used a lot of the initial Cash to buy our players from our teams and started filling in the holes, One of the First to join was Eaglesfan20 who has since eaten all of our pancakes along with jvillian and porky.
We were looking at the "Evil Empire, Ming Dynasty" We settled on bringing the Horde to Mongolia and rallied the troops there.
How did you recruit your GM staff? Are they real life friends, agents of key players on the team, did you meet them on other GLB teams, etc.? What duties does each one have? Who runs offense, who is DC?
I recruited Zhrakkan at a IHOP offered him a job, he proceeded to make me pay the bill. I know Zhrakkan in Real Life, We're REALLY good friends, we've know each other for 15+ years and been through a lot. Zhrakkan is the asst. owner, Eaglesfan20 is the OC
DC is myself, through, we are fixing to promote Husker to this functionality, Reich is Team Scout/Recruiter.
