16 games were played Sunday and all divisions saw action on this holy night of QuakeWorld.
Division 1 saw four games played, and Polish Aristocracy started NQR4 with taking on euro clan Hyphen, who played their second game. Two X dm3 apparently suited Hyphen best, as they won both times, first one went quite easy and the second one was more of a fight, but still they won with a rather clear margin. Hyphen picks up their first points this season. Aristocracy then faced the Swedish Campbusters but the pain would not go away, CB won dm3 and dm2 with clear margins. CB looks pretty strong at the moment. Norwegian clan The Axemen and the euro clan Miscellaneous Misfitz faced off getting their second game of the season. As expected, the Norwegians did not get any big problems on their homemap, e1m5, but got beaten up bad on dm2. Decider map was needed and OEKS secured 2 points in a tight dm3 game. Two of the NQR4 championship contenders faced off this night; Finnish (?) Clan Malfunction vs Swedish disorder. Not surprisingly, CMF won dm3 and disorder won e1m2. So dm2 would seperate the teams, and the Swedes was the better team on the day and took home 2 well earned points. CMF still holds top spot in the division though, with more games played than the rest of the pack.
In division 2 we saw yet another three map game. The division got five games played and all games have been three map battles. DK/SWE clan Chopstick Ninjas made their NQR4 debut and pulled of a victory and two points vs the mighty Hellboys from Sweden. It should not be a surprise to no one that Hellfire lost dm3 (doh!), but as usual they are strong as ever on e1m2, so dm2 was yet again a decider map. CN managed to gain 20 more frags than Hellfire, so this surely looked like a close battle and a good game indeed.
In division 3, six teams was active this night, adding four more games to the division. The two legendary Swedish clans; Euthanasia and The Fighting Foes faced off and [E] took the series home 2-0. TFF's choice of map e2m7, did not help vs their very experienced adversary, so 3 new points to [E]. However, TFF got the chance to avenge this loss vs Ax3 from Poland, and they did just that. Ax3 is a strong Polish side in this division, but on this day they apparently had some troubles and lost it 0-2, surprisingly loosing dm2 with a big margin. Another Swedish team also got two games played today, the clan we all love; the QH-LAN clan Quake-o-holics. First they faced off the Norwegian challenge; FUDOH, and it was a very thight game. In the quest for points, the Norwegian old-timers made a tactical map choice; e3m7, and that gave them their first point. Then QH took home e1m2 with only a 12 frag margin. Decider map dm2 went down with a narrow 6 frag margin, and the Norwegians took it home, earning them 2 points. Go check out the matchreport to find out what went down in this very exciting decider. QH's second game this night was vs the very strong euro clan Cobots, who has already showed strength and honour in their two previous games earning them a top spot in the table. Cobots took dm2 home in a good fight and then it was QH's time to do a tactical map choice; e3m3. That went smooth for the Swedes and now it was all up to dm3 to seperate the teams, and QH showed that they will be a clan to reckon with in this division, beating Cobots on dm3 with a 25 frag margin. So two games and 3 points earned for QH this Sunday night.
Division 4 got a game played too, when German team Dybbuk made their NQR4 debut vs the Beastie Boys from Sweden. 2B's home map, e3m2, was a close one, but Dybbuk took it 107-100. 2B would not give up without a fight though and made it hard for the Germans on dm2, but they had to lay down their swords with a 30 frag margin. 3 points and a nice NQR4 start for the Germans.
Division 5 also had six active teams this night, and two of the contenders to win this division clashed off in a Swedish showdown; Vet's vs Swedish Super Cops. The super cops arrested Vet's, on their home grounds of e3m3, but Vet's managed to escape on dm3 with a narrow 13 frag margin. On dm2 however, Vet's got behind bars again with a clear marging of 99 frags, so 2 well earned points for the super cops from Sweden this night. SSC could not make the top of the table though, as The Artists from Poland made the NQR4 debut for star player Wigorf and his IRL clan Feske Gobbah an unpleasant one. FG fought well on e1m2 but was a couple of numbers too short on dm3, 3 points to The Artists, who now roam at the top of the table. Talking about clashes and showdowns, the euro clan Frag Shack and the UK clan War Hammer faced off in a 3 map battle. It looks like there is some "evil blood" amongst these two clans so I guess this was the game to win for both sides :) First map went to WH who nailed down dm3 with a 28 frag margin. Second map went to FS who won convincingly on dm2. Frag Shack did not say no thank you to take revenge on dm3, and that's just what they did on the decisive map, with a comfortable margin as well.
Division 6 got another three games played as well and Finnish Thangorodrim showed the German Head hunters from Hannover how to play dm2 and dm3, winning it 2-0 by clear margins on both maps. So {T} confirms their top spot in the table, but they also got a lot more games played than the rest. Swedish clan Shadow Minions made another victory to their stats as they had a smooth ride on two maps, e1m2 and dm3, vs their countrymen Speed Up. They even won dm3 playing 3on4 with no problems at all. Speed Up is still looking for their first victory. Two other Swedish clans faced off as well when fnu played St?l-Kalle Klanen, and fnu got their first victory winning both maps with vast margins. SKK are still looking for a point with three games already played.
