Experience Sharing!

Guys! Wanna share an experience about going all the way up to Kuala Lumpar to play PTQ. It is very tiring if you decide to squeeze travelling and playing back-to-back.

It was a very small PTQ: Amsterdam. Only 36men. Which equates to only 6 rounds of swiss. This is the smallest PTQ I had played in recent times. It was quite bad I think I was kind of travel-lagged. Mana problems for the first few rounds and very quickly I was down with a score of 1-2. :( Finally ended at around 1630hrs with a score of 4-2. Kind of very disappointed with myself.

Half the field was dominated with Jund. Quite a bit of Mystic Conscriptions. 3 U/Ws. 2 RDW. 2 Turbolands. And a very surprisingly big portion of the field was by the U/R/G.


Three methods:

1) By Air. Take a flight up to KLIA. Kuala Lumpar International Airport. Take either a cab to event ground. It is about 45mins flight. The con is that the airport is 1hour away from anything and everything.

2) By Bus. Take a bus from any local travel company situated at Golden Mile. Average of $40. And you will be alighted at somewhere near Berjaya Times Square or Pudu. Take a cab or metro train to location.

3) By Train. Take a 10hour train ride to KL Sentral. Cost about $40. That is a transportation hub. From there, you can take any train from the myriad of companies.

*Note! For option 2 and 3, both are cheaper if you decide to spend a bit time and travel up to Johor Bahru and buy the tickets from there.
