Astro Battleground 2009 Preliminary 2

This preliminary consisted with crews from Team B: Dancologist, MJC, Haru Haru, Twister XF, Katoon Network, Famous Strike, Free and Wakaka Fever.

Contestants were required to perform a 3-minute routine with own significant dance style. Judges invited were Marcus Tucker from USA, Rambo from Taiwan and Bobby from Malaysia! The competition took place at the main entrance of Sunway Pyramid in the same day and was started at 4.30pm.

After a one and half hour of competition, it was the results announcement. 3 crews with the lowest mark will be called out to stand beside the 2 hosts, Ngan Mei Yan and Anthony Chang. The crews were Famous Strike, Haru Haru and MJC. Haru Haru was announced to be the lowest team and got eliminated. Famous Strike and MJC were required to battle with each other to remain in this competition.

After 3 moves from each side, it took judges awhile to decide which crew would stay. It was a tough decision for the judges which crew to pick because it was a tight battle. After 20 minutes of discussion between the Producer and 3 judges, Judge Bobby decided to give his point to Famous Strike as he claimed that Famous Strike has more crew members that made the routine seemed more hyped while MJC was a little flat. However, Judge Marcus Tucker and Rambo pointed at MJC as they said they brought more Hip Hop elements in their routines. Thus announced that MJC would stay and Famous Strike was eliminated. Congratulations to MJC! Famous Strike will keep fighting! They knew their mistakes.
