In division 6 Finnish Thangorodrim amplifies their position at the top of the table with their fifth straight 2-0 win, by beating Hell Patrol from Poland. HP gave {T} a fairly good run for their money, but came up one number too short on both maps. Hell Patrol is still looking for their first point.
In division 4 however, Poland got some points when PsychoHaloons Crew managed to pull of a victory when they faced Russian clan aut Vincere aut Mori, as the Russians made their NQR4 debut. First map, e3m2, was an easy ride for PHC, but second map, dm3, was a close one; the Russians won it 109-106 and earned a point in their first NQR game. Decider map, e1m2, had some issues, PHC won it with a 42 frag margin, but apparently there was some connection/server problems for the Russian clan. At the moment the result stands, but we need to decide how to handle this issue, you can read the comments on the matchreport here.
Division 2 also got another game played Monday night, and surprise surprise, it was a three map battle :) Finnish Hyv?t, Pahat ja Rumat faced off with UK/EU pro clan Four Kings, and yet again it was a close one ladies and gentlemen. First the Finns took dm2 home with a 35 frag margin, then 4K took dm3 home with a 46 frag margin. Decider map e1m2 was close all the way, but 4K secured 2 points with a 184-171 win. Who will win division 2? Your guess is as good as ours!
The first major upset in division 1 went down Monday night when euro clan Hyphen beat the Scandinavian star players from Slackers. Hyphen is very good at dm3, so it might not have been a big surprise that they pulled off a victory on that map, even though it still was a little surprise. On dm2 everyone thought everything was back to "normal" when SR took that one home with over 200 frags. Decider map, e1m2, maybe SR's strongest map, was a big surprise though, as Hyphen played magnificently, making the frag difference to their advantage with almost 100 frags. Even SR admitted after the game that they had never met such a strong team on e1m2, now that says a lot about Hyphens performance on this map. Sure, Hyphen had a slight ping advantage, but when they win as convincingly as they did, you really can't say that affected the result. On the other hand, this result clearly shows that the quest for the four playoff spots might be an interesting fight after all, in contrast to what we believed before the season started.
On another note:
13 clans have yet to play a game in NQR4, and they really need to start playing this week, to avoid further delays. Further delays will just result in idling and finally it will most likely, in worst case, result in a idle-kick out of NQR4. Lets try to avoid that plz :/
These 13 clans are:
Lockup, Bored With Life, Justified Ancients of Menace, kalevala, Maniacs, Quadrangers, bodyjar, Gauntlet, suicide commando, Unidentified Quake Entity, J?garna, Nobles, DvL.
Get your games played ppl :-)
