DOTA & Softball Champs

Softball - SRC Tournament

17th & 18th March - Montfort emerged as C Boys Singapore Recreation Club (SRC) Softball Tournament Champs. Montfort crushed Catholic High School 8-0 in the semi-finals. They also defeated RI 5-2.

Montfort's never-say-die attitude was demonstrated in the final game because several of our key players were not playing. At one point in time, we were even down by two runs. Nevertheless, our hard-nosed playing made all the difference in the win.

The last time we had won the SRC championships was in 2001 (C Boys) and 2003 (B Boys).

Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) Tournament

On 16 March, Montfort School held an intra-school DOTA championship series. (Defense of the Ancients is a team game with two opposing sides. Unlike regular Warcraft III games, in which many units are controlled by the player, in DotA each player chooses a single hero - with its own skills, strengths, and weaknesses - and then 'manage' him in order to achieve victory.

The DOTA Montfort champs were won by a group called the 'nubcakes' led by Tham Wenhui (4E4) . During the March holidays, two teams participated in the DOTA AllStars Tournament. They advanced into the second round before being eliminated. 148 schools had competed and it was no mean feat to have advanced so far.

X-Box Champions

During duration of the March holidays, Yong Yu (4E4) and Shaun (5A1) participated in a Nationals E-Gaming Challenge held at Funan IT Mall. Playing against Polytechnic, JC and University students, our boys emerged champs for the X-BOx 360 Gears of War Division. They won for themselves and the school numerous attractive prizes like X Box 360 core-consoles, wireless controllers and xbox game sets.
