Planet Eclipse HQ Blog

Ok, so we're gonna take the foot off the gas a little and talk about something that was a huge deal for the growth of Eclipse, but not necessarily as exciting as things that go pew pew. We're gonna go into the decision to widen our horizons and expand our business into the good ol' US of A. As always, we grabbed Ledz and asked if he could remember any of it. I guess the decision to expand and open a US Office was a massive deal right?  Yes and No. Jacko had been working for us for some time and his wife (Jane) had been offered a job working in America. This meant they had some pretty big life changing decisions to make. Jacko approached Julian and Myself (Ledz) and suggested that he moved to America and sets up a US office for us over there. The timing was probably about 6-months too early but we grasped the opportunity and went for it. I think if we had said “No thanks” we would have lost Jacko as I think he would have moved to the States anyway. Jacko had al...

 I look out of my window aboard my flight and glance at the immensity that is Mexico City, North Americas largest city by population.  After a quick chat with the friendly Federalis (police)   I made my way outside to link up with a good friend Victor Diaz from team Venom and David" Perro"Garfias (RA Sportz) . I buckled up and prepared for the 2 1/2 hour drive to a little town called Huasca, just outside the city. Huasca use to be a mining town during the 18th century and has become a popular attraction for tourist and locals alike. Although agriculture remains an important economically , the area is known for its beautiful waterfalls, canyons, lakes and dams.

We are already in the fourth round of the National Championship with 3 second places already the desire for the win in the team Atlantic Games Beira-Mar Gold was strong. But that desire turned into pressure quickly as we lost the lead in the first game against Atlantic Games Beira-Mar Silver, our sister team. We made mistakes from the beginning and the game ended in a defeat by 3: 4.  We needed to correct what was wrong so we did a self-evaluation made some adjustments. In the second game against the Salgueiros Huargo we were more dominant and we took a 3 points advantage but we relaxed and our opponent tied the game 3 - 3. Over-time was the turning point, and we were victorious, we controlled and we made G1 very fast,  advanced and finished the game. It was the first victory of the day, not as we intended. The next game against Sport Lisboa Benfica, a difficult test, we needed to win if we wanted any chance of moving on to the semi-finals. We had an aggre...
