		|  | Gold Cup Finals Date: LA vs SR  040523 |  | 
	
		|  | 
		The eagerly awaited Gold Cup Final is to be on Sunday June 6th. The exact time is still to be worked out. Rumours abound about some players working, others being away on holidays, etc.. But we are pleased to see this match has been set as far as the actual day goes. Stay tuned for more information regarding the time and cam ips etc. as we get this battle arranged even more. The June 6th date should benefit both clans as regards pre-match preparation and practising.  This year the Gold Final should be a serious head-knocker, perhaps we may even see juanito_bandito and the pink_vagina hudman in action.  As admins we wish all strength and honour to both of these talented squads as they prepare for this much anticipated match!

			|  | @insane: could you imagine just how irate the remaining
 clans would be if that
 suggestion were acted on?
 hehe, personally I think a
 best of 5 is intense enough
 for the players. iirc it was
 in sd that we first saw best
 of 5 semis/finals matches and
 i think there is a lot of
 wisdom in keeping it to a
 maximum of 1h 40min of quake.
 If it were to be a possible 2h
 20min in the finals, then I
 think that should be requested
 by the players for a future
 season of nqr.  There is no
 question I find the idea of a
 best of 7 in the finals quite
 exciting for the spectators.
 But wouldn't it be too much
 for the players? At any rate,
 such an initative should come
 from the players themselves,
 for it would be a huge change
 to the way we have viewed
 qwtdm finals since the dawn of
 smackdown.

			|  | Who is playing in the finals anyway? Lots of blabla in the
 newsupdate but the very
 important information is
 missing.  Sorry, I'm not
 informed at all anymore.
 Probably due to those news
 postings that don't say much
 hence I don't read them :(

			|  | sorry andy i thought my rather vague remark about seeing
 "...juanito_bandito and the
 pink_vagina hudman in
 action..." would give away the
 teams.  i think you are right
 i am not fit to do this nqr

			|  | Hehe, sorry, don't take it personally or something! I
 read/wrote this in the morning
 (yea yea bad mood ;) and was a
 bit confused not to read who
 is going to play (I really
 didn't know). 
I don't know
 the nicknames you mentioned
 and probably so do most
 readers who don't know who
 plays in the finals in first
 place. I agree with whyz, your
 articles are generally good,
 but please at least say what
 NEEDS to be said ;)

			|  | I will have to agree with Andy. I mostly enjoy xhrl's
 ramblings. I hadn't really
 paid any attention to the
 playoffs, but this was just
 weird. I didn't know which
 clans were in the finals, I
 could've guessed though...

			|  | Mmm and now my post seems really weird after I edited it
 a bit before sending. Well OK,
 I edited the text a lot - I
 guess I should've read it one
 more time before sending.
 Never mind.
