So finally it was time to see who was going to reach the Final of NQR 4. Slackers were faced vs Firing Squad and clan MalFunction was facing the swedes in Disorder. It was time for some great QW games, and some great QW action.

Slackers vs Firing Squad:

Firing Squad was ready to show the public that they are a clan to be reckoned with. While most of the ppl spectating was putting their money on Slackers to take this victory home. There were still some FS fans who hoped that FS would have one of theese days when everything works out just like you want. However this it was to be proved that FS did NOT have one of their better days. In fact i think the pressure was to much for the FS guys, they did some really nasty mistakes throughout the game, eventhough they showed great fighting spirit.So it was time for DM3 then, the start was pretty much 50/50, FS got penta,rl,lg and SR got RA,Quad,Ring,Sng. Blitz got telefragged by Paradoks and started to argue about the spawnmodel settings. However the game continued, and Slackers got a firm grip on the whole map, controling RA,Q,Ring area almost constantly. SR Controlled the map througout the game, loosing a few quads, but nothing that could swing the map to FS favor, a walk in the park for SR on DM3 (249-61). DM2 then, Razor got Quad, wich he was not to successful with though. After some furious fighting over Water-Q Area SR Got control and started to run some Quads down to Low Rl area, FS tried to defend against the quadified SR players as they smashed through their defences. However SR was able to secure Low Rl for a period and started to rack up pretty much frags. FS got it back a few times but could not do much against SR's irongrip on DM2(276-97). Many of the FS Fans had lost pretty much all hope when it was time for E1M2, the FS players thought they would atleast end NQR4 with a bang though and put up a much greater effort then during the other 2 maps. They actually did so good that they could've have gotten this map, however to many nervous players and guys wanting to do too much makes mistakes they normally don't do ;), this cost FS the victory on E1M2 and the chance for a place in the finals. Congratulations goes out to Slackers for making it to the NQR4 Finals, allthough FS got pretty trashed by SR in this game they have overall done a great season making it to the playoffs and finishing as #4 in Division 1, GG's guys we hope to see you back next season even stronger.

Stats from Slackers vs Firing Squad:

DM3: 249-61 (SR)
FS got penta,rl,lg and SR got RA,Quad,Ring,Sng so start went 50%-50%, but blitz had a bad day and he got telefragged by paradoks, but no rl for us. Blitz was pretty confused about this situtation and it looks like his whole round wen't pretty bad of this telefrag spawn mode. Our game was really chaotic, goljat gave 2-3 free rl to enemy and they killed hib many times at YA with those rl. Slackers got 14quad + 3 penta and i think that is pretty much for us, usually we get something like 6-8 :). - by Slackers

DM2: 276-97 (SR)
Razor got the high rl, quad and hib got the low rl, but razor quad run was pretty bad and he finished that to his death at 2xYA, he was pretty greedy to get some free frags, but gamer made a nice ambush to quad?low. FS weakness is absolutely starts on dm2,dm3, because you just can't waste starts against top clans, but with more warmup sure they would own us at start. - by Slackers


E1M2: 214-175 (SR)
Gamer got the first rl, but fs owned him by their shotgun skills. I think we played like Disorder: even FS controlled YA area, but still we made frags at ga/100h/rl area and game was all the time 10frags leading for us. Check that stats picture and they never leaded the game :). We made 25frags in the last three minutes. Good Game -Goljat - by Slackers



clan MalFunction vs Disorder:

And on monday night it was time for the game that everyone had been waiting for, CMF wanting to regain their lost honor and respect. They wanted to show Disorder who was the boss, Disorder on the other hand was ready to take on the hungry finnish lions once again, and eager to show that last time was not a one time fluke win. Great tention buildup before the game, a great deal of ppl got a bit surprised that Disorder decided to let Dag sit on the bench throughout this game. Probably because they wanted to let the players with the most games together play, vs the strong tp team like CMF. DM3 then, was a battle for control swinging back and forth, but DS got the upperhand, and started to gain quite a few frags with their boosted quadified players. Hunting down outgunned CMF players. CMF got back into the game in the last minutes and a great manhunt was launched from the CMF players, hunting down any DS players in their grasp. DS played smart though, luring the CMF Q to water and discharging him, auch. The CMF players ran like crazy around the map, in a race against the fat lady herself, but time was not on their side this time and DS took the victory on DM3(136-146). Time for the classic E1M2 then, great battles fought througout the whole map, Striker being the composer on this map led his team to victory. Disorder tried hard to get back into the game, and get control of the map, but they were often denied by CMF. Some really nice battles around Quad area and YA area. But CMF got the bigger straw at this map(172-140). The manly men's map ;)? However the time had come for DM2 to make an entrence into this Semi-final game. Disorder took quite early command of this map, and they managed to hold on to vital positions, while they ran the quad nicely, smashing through CMF last line of defence, slime fragged like crazy and lead his team to a rather convincing victory on DM2. At this point many ppl and even the commentators thought that DM3, would favor Disorder, but CMF would not let down their fans tonight, they fought like their was no tomorrow, they knew they had to win this map to keep the Semi-final alive, and to keep their chance to reach the Finals alive. However Disorder had no intentions on giving in easy to CMF. They fought hard to gain control, wich they eventually lost to CMF. Clan MalFunction used their superiority in armor and guns leading them to victory, outgunned and out-tooled Disorder players fell an easy prey for the hungry finnish lions. However Disorder got renewed strenght and managed to get back into the game the last few minutes left of the game, CMF realised there was no idea to pick fights with the bloodthirsty and fraghungry Disorder players, so they did the next best thing and ran for it. Quite a reverse of the first DM3, this time it was DS who was the hunters and CMF beeing the prey. The fat lady beat DS though, and CMF managed to get a crucial victory(146-129). OMG, could this be a better night for QW?! Two teams going at eachother like crazy, and all 5 maps needed to get a winner, HOOOAA! The TIE-BREAKER would be once again DM2, the tentions was skyhigh, and the nerves must've been outside the players at this time. A hard fight for control in the beginning, players owning with skilled frags, players doing hysterically funny mistakes and all this combined in a great QW Mix :). It seemed that CMF would get a clear victory on DM2, they out-tooled the DS players in almost every fight, DS played smart though and they fought fiercly to defend their last line of defence (Low RL). CMF Broke through a few times but DS managed to recover. DS launched several attacks vs Quad area, and at the last minutes they were able to regain control of the vital Quad-Water-Telly Area, and they started to rack up frags fast. They gap decreasing by every second, and i'm thinking "omg are they going to turn this?!", but what happens? Well Slime decides that he has done his part in this game and idles through the rest of the game =/, with him playing activly they might have had pulled this one off. Congratulations to clan MalFunction for achiving this great victory and gain a spot in the NQR4 Finals. Credits goes out to Disorder who gave CMF a real hard fight. Great season guys, hope to see u back next season.

Nations Quake Rank 4 Finals

Relegations games: We know that many of you are waiting for information regarding the relegation games, belive me we have been working hard to make them happen, many issues have cause problems for us. But the relegation games will be played! Basicly the only thing left is to get fixtures up on the page, once that is made we will announce the deadline for the relegation games. The reason for the delay is because of Idle clans / clan drop outs / clans kicked. Idle divisions...etc etc etc. The fixtures should be up any day now ;), thank you for your patience.

Finally the NQR Crew would like thank the Quakeworld.nu crew for the coverage of the semi-final of clan MalFunction vs Disorder, you do a good job as allways, many thanks goes out to you guys. Just a little pointer, from the NQR Crew to Sassa, stay of the drugs dude (He didn't know when it was the last map lol hehe).
