Captain Gupi, a debate team from President University (PresUniv), won the 11th Forman Lahore Debate Open on March 27-28, 2021. Forman Lahore Debate Open is an annual debate competition organized by the Formanites Debating Society, Forman Christian College, Pakistan. This international competition was held online and was attended by 100 participants from various countries.
This team consisted of Reynaldo Arya, Law Study Program student batch 2018, and Rendy Utomo, International Relations Study Program student batch 2015, PresUniv. In naming this team, they used the word captain because both of them liked the superhero character, Captain America. Meanwhile, Gupi is the name of their dog. Reynaldo said, “This experience is very memorable for us. This is the first time we have succeeded in getting the Champion title on the international circuit after in several previous events, we were stopped in the final round."
Reynaldo said, Forman Lahore is an annual debate competition that has been going on for 11 years, so this competition has tight competitiveness. Actually, Captain Gupi participated in the competition to gain experience and learn to be familiar with circuits outside Indonesia. Who would have thought they could even become champions. "This competition is also a learning medium for us to prepare ourselves for the World Universities Debating Championship," said Reynaldo. (Gilang Suryanata, PR team. Photo: Reynaldo Arya)
