DOC SHAKIB

NINETEENTH TOURNAMENT REVIEW

Doc Shakib was the man who successfully hoisted the Division One trophy at the Nineteenth Mega Drive Championship. Defeat in his first game, against Commander Graham on Streets of Rage 3, was the only blemish in his league performance and he went on to win his remaining seven games in order to take the title for the first time since the Sixteenth Championship. Doc Shakib also reached the final of the Tournament Knockout, where Commander Graham defeated him on Mega Bomberman.

TOURNAMENT HISTORY

The longest serviving member of the Mega Drive Championships has had a turbulant time in the competitions. With his form occasionally fluctuating, Doc Shakib has been crowned Mega Drive Champion on three occassions. The first was at the Seventh Tournament when he did the unthinkable and edged himself of early tournament titans Lord Dilks and Mr Smith to claim the title. It would not be until the Sixteenth Championship when Doc Shakib would return to the top of the league, winning the competition by a single point. His victory at the Nineteenth Mega Drive Championship was his most convincing to date. He won the Tournament Knockout at the Seventeenth Championship and won the Elitserien '96 Challenge, with Professor King, at the following tournament. Yet Doc Shakib has also tasted defeat, having been relegated at the ninth and fourteenth tournaments, he has spent two tournaments in the lower league. Prior to the Eighteenth Mega Drive Championship he held an undefeated record on Virtua Racing, however, Captain Maltby defeated him on the Bay Bridge course. Doc Shakib maintains some very high rankings across a broad spectrum of games.

INTERNATIONAL STAGE

Doc Shakib has battled twice in International Mega Drive competitions and is statistically ranked as the worst player at that elite level! Earning just a single point at the 2007 Anglo-Irish Tournament, he performed only marginally better at the 2008 European Championship - scoring four-points from seven-games.
