Beginner Malaysia Tournament Round 1: Results and Comments

Hi everyone, I am back with another post.

This time it will be about Beginner Pen Spinning Tournament for Malaysians.

It is my very first time organizing such competition. I expect some hiccups here and there. 

My aim in this tournament is to see how much our (read: Malaysian) spinners can improve in a short time since for some people, they will improve by challenge and after being commented. We barely can see how much we improved in our spinning unless we grind hard and able to see the result by ourselves. 

These are the participants for Beginner Malaysia Tournament 2020 (BMT20 for short)
  1. Qr
  2. Pearl
  3. 3ird
  4. Kenvox739
  5. Jameel
  6. Vaughn Xavier
  7. SkyHorPS
  8. yoong vin_ps
  9. Lkh15
Here is the round 1 results: click here (Google Sheet).

Me and other judges already scored and commented on what to improve and we expect improvements by the participants in the next round.

Overall, these people reminds me about myself 10 years ago when I started pen spinning. I am not saying I am good now but, somehow I love to see them spinning even though some are hurting my eyes. I was that kind of person back then and I cringed when I watch my old videos.

There are some good and so-so spinner in the tournament. But I believe that they can improve a lot in the future if they are taking our comments seriously. Clearly, most of them have a lot of room for improvements. I wouldn't be surprised if few of them could bring MYPSC name up again in the future if they do not stop spinning but again it is too early to say so. 

This is the matchups for Round 2. I am using the double elimination format which is used by the IPSB Rising Star Tournament back in 2012. The reason I am using this format is for me to see how much everyone can improve in a short time.


Alternatively, you can check the bracket progress here (Challonge).

I wish everyone all the best and good luck as well as grind hard for the next round!

Thank you for reading :)

Malaysia's Video For World Cup 2020

Hello. I am back with another Pen Spinning World Cup Update. I proudly present you, our national team for WC20 Round 1. Special thanks to EffecT for being the editor :) The rest of the team came up with the name of The APST on the very last minute except me. Fun fact: There's a reason why they cam up with the APST name lol. Please share this video around and make pen spinning hobby known in Malaysia ;) It was a tiring for me and as well the whole team for filming countless combo and to decide which clip to use. I still think I could've done a better combo than the one in the video but because of the time constraint, I do not have time to film much and I feel very bad about it. I did rant to them that I could have done better. But instead of bringing me down, they supported me. I'm glad that I have them on the team. I love them boys. Never in my million years I think I'd join a high class tournament. I don't know whether we are able to advance to Rou...
