UPDATED: Editor's Note: Added video clips of the two games between the Philippines and Germany. By Joey Alarilla, hackenslash Editor INQUIRER.net SEOUL, South Korea—The Philippines crushed Germany, 2-0, in their best-of-three match to win third prize in Ragnarok World Championship 2007. Here's the video clip of the first game: And here's the video clip of the second game: As the third prize winner in the international tournament that drew participants from 11 countries, the Philippine team will be going home with a trophy and 3, 000, 000 won (3,287 US dollars or 146,561 Philippine pesos). “We had a strong performance,” Milton Sy, the manager of the Philippine team, Armada, told INQUIRER.net in an interview after the Philippines defeated Germany in the battle for third place. "It's just so sad that we had to immediately face South Korea. Their build [the choice of which characters will make up a party and the stats for these characters] was strong against the Philippines. Their build negated our Dancer [one of the Ragnarok character classes], so it was almost like seven versus six in our match against them," Sy explained. The Philippines lost to South Korea, 0-2, in the semifinals match held this morning. In the championship match, however, the Thai team Destruction shocked South Korea by defeating the host country, 3-1, in the best-of-five encounter. Thailand drew first blood by winning the first game, but South Koreans fought back to level the score, 1-1. Thailand, however, would not be denied as Destruction won the next two games to bring home the gold. Thailand won the first prize of 10, 000, 000 won (10,958 US dollars), while South Korea received 5, 000, 000 won (5,479 US dollars). Asked what the Philippine team learned from their experience and how they will further improve their performance, Sy replied, "Since this is our first time to experience an international tournament, now we have more exposure. We will be more prepared than ever for the next international tournament." Team Armada is composed of Bein Patrick Limpin, Mel Bryan Ungra, Chris Dimaunahan, Emmanuel Deleon, Jeffrey Custodio, Frederick Banaag and Aaron James Fernandez. The 11 countries that participated in RWC 2007 are South Korea, the US, Russia, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, Germany and the Philippines.

Hindi po first time na sumali ang pRO sa RWC... RWC 2004 was the first time and Rebirth was our representative but they lost in the first round against Indonesia "One Batz".

maffeature ba cla sa newspaper? =)

1st time in int'l competition?

don't think so. maybe the players but not the country.

they should've learned from the fisrt time they joined that contest ( a dismal performance that time)

those managing the team should apply the learning of the experience to the next competition.

but then again, they won. congratulations

wala videos?

brazilian and indonesian are noob for TeamPH. and thats unfair. The match tree is unfair. PH has an experience... dapat una kalaban nila korea para eliminate agad. haha kumbaga kung wala ung indonesia or korea nasa ibang braket loser parin tayo. and thats the truth haha. all the strong countries nasa ibang bracket. syempre we will win on the noobs sa bracket natin.

oh.. di bale bawi na lang next RWC..sana from Freya server naman ang next representative..

Congrats to team RP! If they've done this earlier, they might have been mentioned in the Sona! ;-) Again, congrats guys! Finally we have something to be proud off in cyber realm (but I'm always proud to hear other Pinoys trying to put a dent in the cyber universe).

ok narin yan kahit hindi tayu na first at least nsali tyu sa RWC....

C o n g r t a s sa lahat ng pumunta ng korea.. god bless ...

ala bang vid dyan?

Congrats to Team Armada..!

wow wow..congats to team ARMADA.. aus tlg ang baldur weee no.1

congrats nakita ko ung video nyu sa ssunod sasali ako sa WRPC kaunting lks nlng wala na mkkapatay sken sa pvp hahahaha

kainggit kau im so proud sa inyo w8 nyu lng ako

Ok mga tol! Ayos lang mahina pa kac phil. kung sa mga MMO kulang sa experience ang mga tao dito better luck next time... i hope ^_^

Casuals will NEVER beat Hardcore.

the reason why we're always losing is because the ragnarok here in Philippines is way too slow to update.. we're always behind the other countries then they're asking for load pa just to play ragnarok..
