All,
Team Dallas Dragon is in 3rd place! What a team!! What two days in LA!!!
(1st place is taken by Mud, 2nd by Tigers.)
Personally I am really thrilled about and encouraged by the team's fighting
spirit. We win/loose as a team. To be frank with you, I think I am excited
and still in a 'tournament' (fighting) mode even today!
Team Work
========
All player showed excellent team work. That is what made our team so
successful. Huan Li, Qian Bai, Ken Li, Chen Zhang, Jet Chang etc., just name
a few. We also have players with great passions like Eric Zhang, Dick Cai,
Xiao Ye, Yu Ding etc.
Most noticeably, Tim Moy who helped the team with hotel, cars (pick up/see
off), supplementaries, dinnings, etc. Your effort is highly appreciated by
all players, Tim.
BinBing Wang, team CFO, who was able to manage our team fund to negative
(-$100+) and bought water/ice, arranging misc. things for the team.
And Zeng Ming, team assistant Captain, who not only showed greater potential
marketing abilities, but also excellent management talents as well when
managing sub'in and sub'out. It was a very busy and headache job.
Definitely, family members/wives (Xiao Ye's, Zeng Ming's, Ray's newly bride,
Tommy's girl, Dick's, Alex's 2 etc.) involvements made our team even more
stronger. They cheered on the side lines for us, took care of all
necessities for the team. I really felt like a BIG family with the one goal,
i.e. 'To WIN'. Thanks.

Misc
====
One thing that still keeps on haunting me is a few player's playtime. In
general it is OK, I think. A few players with less play time expressed their
support for the team and myself, but I feel still responsible for it. Even
though being my own 1st experience with such a tournament, I sincerely think
it could have been done better. Please forgive me and I shall do it better
next time. I am sorry. Sincerely.
Summary
=======
It has been a great experience to me as a captain as well as a player.
Thanks to you all for making this LA tournament such a memorable one! We are
a great bunch of players with passions, dedications, and team work. I
thought I would be through after this tournament. But .......
I hope everyone shares my feelings as well.
Your Very Very Honored Captain,
- Chen Si
