Three days – munchkin-raccoon pair managed to survive 3 days of (kononnya) battle.
Monday – Elimination Round
First pair was formed by Rotaract members. By the way he spins the racquet, the guy looks pretty strong 
First time seeing munchkin getting so aggressive.
Tuesday – Quarter Finals
Was actually very nervous, until I know who our opponents were – two cute cheerful girls (yes, mixed doubles with female doubles inside), with one of them first time playing badminton.
So we ended up a heehaahaa match (and we lucked out again).
Wednesday – Semi Finals
What can I say – the guy is not a noob like me. We were up against a big guy equipped with powerful smashes and good maneuverability (seen his singles match before), and his girlfriend which didn’t looked like a beginner either.
The difference in firepower was very obvious.
Did managed to exploit the girl for a few times with low serves and lucky kills. Munchkin was really scary today with her kills.
Vice versa, the guy managed to kill off some of our serves.
The guy later tend to stick closer to the girl preparing to take most the kills, and the girl gave less room for kills. Her clears were still quite vulnerable.
We were essentially at the mercy of the guy – he was clearly avoiding smashes, so I took back my idea of smashing the girl either. We wouldn’t stand a chance if he go all out.
It was a good defeat, we were simply outmatched by the knight and his princess.
We had the chance to compete for the 3rd placing. This time, our opponent is nowhere comparable to the previous one, both in terms of skill and power.
The guy didn’t manage to smash at all, and his back-court clears unfortunately only manage to reach mid-court – highly vulnerable to smashes.
The girl on the other hand, shared the same quirk like the previous girl – vulnerable to net kills when serving.
And so we happily exploited our way to the 3rd place.
