 Umuugong ngayong lingo ang bagong kaek-ekan ng Dartslive requiring players from countries with no franchise to pay $500.00 in order to compete in the The World tournament. Sino ang pinupunterya nila nito? As usual, walang iba kundi Pinoy darters na naman. Di humihinto mag-isip ang Dartslive organizers ng mga hadlang para madehado at ma-limite ang pagsali ng mga Pinoy darters. Unang una, last year gumawa sila bigla ng rule na kailangan sumali ka ng at least 3 stages para mag qualify sa championship. Ito ay dahil kay Ian Perez na sumali lang ng isang beses, nanalo at nag qualify sa 2012 Finals at nag runner-up pa. Number 2 - Di na sa Hongkong ang venue ng mga tournaments. Inilipat na sa 5 bansa na malayo at mahirap kumuha ng visa. Number 3 - Di sinali ang Pilipinas sa Super League of Nations Cup maski dalawang taon sunod-sunod na winner ang Pinas sa nations event. The top blogger RB Botor cries Discrimination! But what can we do? Dartslive is the biggest soft tip event organizer in the whole world. We can only bow down and comply. But this is what they will see - the Pinoy spirit will not be crushed. We will overcome and we will win the crown again and again and again............
No international achievements to announce.
Featured Darter: Sa ngayon ang i-feature natin ay ang comebacking rated darter from Cavite na si Warren Perolino. Isa sa mailap na darter yan at maraming alias sa Facebook - War Rain, Al Iswel among others. The ever youthful looking Warren hails from Cebu and is the only darter I know who finished college on a darts scholarship. Yes, it’s true. Darts scholar si Warren. Libre sa tuition. He graduated in a state college, University of Cebu on an IT course. But take note, he graduated Cum Laude. Maski wala ang darts, academic scholar pa rin si Warren...........
Warren came to Manila and lived in Molino, Cavite and immediately, together with Ed Almasco and Ric Almonte (Ric is still missing in action), they made the Cavite Darters a powerhouse in 4-man events. But it was in 2008 that Warren made a big impact. He played in the Singapore Open and made it to the top 16. And in the Phil Qualifier for Ladbrokes, England, he sizzled and topped the elimination rounds but eventually he only reached 3rd place. Nag lie low muna si Warren for 2 years and concentrated on Farm Ville and Candy Crush. Meanwhile, he continues to climb the corporate world at naging supervisor na siya in an IT company. 2 weeks ago, he made a grand comeback in darts. Dahan dahan at may proceso ang ginawa niyang pagbalik sa darts. Una, nag ensayo muna siya sa paginum ulit sa Bullhouse one early afternoon. Pampalakas ng bituka kumbaga. Ayun, di na siya nakasali sa tournament at lupaypay na sa gabi. Dahil walang praktis sa inom kasi. Nang ready na siya, umuwi sa kanila sa Cebu last month at sumali sa Sinulog tournament. Champion in Singles, siyempre. He is baccckkk! Welcome back, Bai...........
Tidbits: Ang weekly tournament sa Tres Marias ay P5K na tuwing Wednesday. Nag level up na. At meron ng surround ang 2 dartboards sa ibaba. Class na class ang dating. Made of tires from motorbikes, only in the Phils. Nag hanap pa sila ng sponsors na tires sa 6 na dartboards sa itaas. Kailangan ang gulong ay pudpud at kalbo. Mahirap daw hiwain kapag bago at makapal...........
Had a dinner last month with balikbayan Art Guerzon, one of the pioneer managers/ organizers of darts in Cag de Oro in the 80’s. Art was the manager then of Estoy Densing and Dixie Ybanez pero sa USA na siya nakatira ngayon. Binalita nya na ang anak ng national champion Ricky Villanueva ay pinagaagawan ng mga colleges doon. Hindi sa darts kundi sa academic excellence. Genius category ata ang anak ni Mr Ton80 Ricky. Nakikiuso lang tayo ng mga Throwback Thursday news...........
Back to back big events this weekend is the P15K Taytay Fiesta tournament in Octagon Ville, Taytay and the much awaited P20K Libis Fiesta Cup of Kagawad Bernie Arroyo/ Sam Cadiente in Fairview/ Upper Caloocan area. Samboy Kambingan is the caterer and watch out for this guy, Sam. He is sizzling hot and the winner of the P10K Pampanga Darters Cup last Saturday. Don’t miss any of it.............
