WCG GF 08: Korea Overall Champ, Malaysia Dream Over

The Malaysian dream ended up 2 days ago when our NFS Pro Street Player, H3aven lost in the top 16 bracket against home team Germany ATTaX_Sliver. The rest of the team had a good fighting spirit but failed to qualify from their respective group. Favourites to qualify from the group, [W|nDs]Vin and UCPRO.LZ only manage to get 3rd in their group. Kudos to them for their never give up fighting spirits although the odd seems impossible.


Korea manage to clinch the title as the overall champion with an amazing medal tally of 3 Gold, 3 Silver and 1 Bronze. While USA and host country Germany both get a medal tally of 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 3 Bronze putting them 2nd and 3rd respectively.

On other notes, our neighbour from Singapore proved the contribution effort done by SCOGA worthwhile when they clinch 1 Gold from mobile game Asphalt 4 and 1 Silver from Virtual Fighter 5. Maybe its time Malaysia too taken the steps to bring up the mobile games into our gaming community.


Overall, it has been 8 years now and we still failed to prove ourself worthy to be called The Best. What keeps us from improving? Why are we still at the same place since 8 years ago? The question still remains and the answer still unfound.

Attacking: Secret In Positioning

Positioning is one of the key to a successful attack. Players out of position couldnt harm the defense much. But not many people actually know that 1 player position will create a breakthrough for his team.


For example:

Bad Position

If the midfielder pass too early to the wingback, the opponent defender will mark the winger. So the attack stop at the wingback and thus could not release the winger for a devastating attack.



But if the player is smart and wait till the wingback in a good position like below:

Good Position

The defender will auto mark the incoming wingback thus leaving the winger empty. The wingback can just turn and pass easily letting the winger to be free and gone like the wind.



Although it seems to be simple but many like to pass the ball around without taking into consideration on the position. 1 simple pass with good position can destroy the entire team defense system.


So dont just pass the ball around until the end. Play beautiful football ^^

Attacking: Direction Through Passes

Through passes is a feature that was introduce in FIFA 03 or FIFA 04 if im not mistaken. In the previous version before 03 all the passes are the same. Its either you do a straight pass or a curling ball.


Now one thing nice about through passes is it is powerful. You can charge up the power and do a powerful through passes from one end to another. Plus the benefit of through passes is you can caught your opponent by surprise. Its direct powerful approach makes it suitable for fast play with fast striker.


Now there is a trick in through passes. Through passes was created in order to release the player in a running motion. Instead of the ball pass directly to the player, in through passes the ball being played to make sure the striker will run and get it leaving the defender a few pace back.


One of the trick is the through pass must be send according to the intended player's body motion. For example:

Red Arrow Indicates The Direction Where The Striker Is Facing

As you can see, the ball was pass according to the direction where the striker is facing. By doing so, the striker will auto run to get the ball and keep him in a running motion which give him space to do whatever necessary in that position.


In order to do this, must focus and observe the motion of the striker properly. 1 mistake will send the ball the wrong way and you've lost the possession.


So play beautiful football! ^^
