The Saint Chronicles

25 Oct 2005

TEN teams, 20 players.

There were no campaigns against the alien menace or the Covenant. Nor were there parasitic creatures (otherwise known as the Flood) to wage war against. The booty, $60 worth of gaming vouchers, was worth braving the clement weather for.

Microsoft's highly successful Xbox export, the Halo series, have won over millions of fans worldwide with its gripping story and an intense and satisfying gameplay experience. Scurrying across new maps downloaded from Microsoft Live, the 20 Saints-and-die-hard Halo fans were definitely not gentle Master Chiefs when it came to wielding their weapons to pit their wits and skills in the first ever Halo2 Saints Challenge held in our very own school grounds. The wet weather did not dampen the crowd of approximately 60 boys who, too, have gathered together to witness this showdown at A603, Mr. Stanley Ho's homeroom.

The challengers were :

Team 1 - Mark & Devaraj
Team 2 - Gerald & Jonathan
Team 3 - Jonathan Ting & Jon
Team 4 - Jonathan Sng & Kelgene
Team 5 - Shaun & Mia Sim
Team 6 - Bryan & Jonathan Mok
Team 7 - Daniel See & Daniel Tan
Team 8 - Collin & Sherman
Team 9 - James & Edward
Team 10 - Derek & Roshan

After enduring gruelling 10-minute rounds in the Preliminary Stage, four teams - 2, 3, 4 and 5 - advanced into the Semi-Finals.

The Saint studies and strategises from afar...

The teams who remained behind to catch the Finals.

Champion : Team 5 (Mia Sim & Shaun Lee)

Second : Team 3 (Jon Lim and Jonathan Ting)

Third : Team 4 (Jonathan Sng & Kelgene)

Fourth : Team 2 (Gerald Choy & Xin Wei)

Congratuations Saints!
