Polska Liga Klanów #1

Fusion take ClanWarz title home

Over two months of bloody carnage, thousands of frags, hundreds of bores and a few dozens of hectic battles and one true champion. In the very first ClanWarz organized by the quakeworld.pl crew, Fusion defeated Satan's Soldiers with a 3-0 victory.

The games proved to be much more interesting than what could have been expected, as the underdogs surprised many and proved those who had had little faith in them wrong.

Starting lineups:

Satan's Soldiers: Milton, jebbis , Diki, Darkki (dm3 and dm2) and kingpin (e1m2)

Fusion: moltas, Nitram, Skillah, Squeeze

Satan's Soldiers had some problems with out-timers like Darkki, they couldn't find the momentum and their performance was not that impressive as it used to be. For the last map they switched Darkki with Kingpin and it led to an epic finish that will be remembered. Nevertheless, it turned up to be just not enough for incredibly aggressive and consistent Fusion. Their leader Valla aka Nitram put up another great performance, teamed up with Moltas, Skillah and the Brave Soldier Squeeze who needs special credit here - fighting gallantly against Low Ping Bastards with approx. 130 ms of his in a QW 4on4 final is worth recognition in the QuakeWorld archives.

Both teams: great, great games! Thank you Satan's Soldierts and congratulations to Fusion for your most certainly deserved victory - the best team of this year's ClanWarz with their MVP Nitram (arguably the MVP of the whole ClanWarz - unfortunately Hagge didn't participate :( )

ClanWarz - the Grand Final!!

This is it - you've waited more than 2 long months to find out who the best team of ClanWarz is. The clans of Satan's Soldiers and Fusion will clash for glory and fame in the first edition of ClanWarz, a newly-emerged mid-season league. Which clan will get the honour to take the title home? Finally, the ultimate piece of the QuakeWorld TP puzzle will be revealed this Sunday at 20.00 CET

Satan's Soldiers commanded by Milton - arguably the best TP and all-round player QuakeWorld has to offer at the moment - seem as the most consistent and successful team of this season of ClanWarz. Milton teamed up with Kingpin "The nightmixes Hero", powered by Darkki "the dm3 powerhouse" are able to rain a rocket shower and inflict heavy damage on every opponent that stands in their way. This team lost only 2 maps in the 1st round (e1m2 and dm3 both to Slackers) and one e1m2 to Fusion in the 2nd round. Fusion on the other hands, gained strength during the regular season as the games progressed. The lost 5 maps in the 1st round and 4 in the 2nd. However, as the team managed to synchronize, their TP routine improved greatly. Their superstar and MVP is Nitram aka Valla who is a real dm3 master. If you wanna see what he's capable of, just go back to the recent semifinal demos vs the Mighty Slackers when he put up a brilliant performance on dm3 turning game around as many lost faith in Fusion. The team lost Slabi and Tom during the regular season but managed to sigh up Chris aka Serox who turned up to be a great asset. These guys are heavy-hitters and really mean the real deal.

Both teams were wild-carded in QF. In the semis, the Miltons defeated Demolition Crew, while Fusion after a great series last Sunday sent Slackers into oblivion.

Probable line-ups:

Satan's Soldiers: Milton, kingpin, Diki, Darkki

Fusion: moltas, nitram, Skillah, chris

In case you didn't notice, the teams of HGD and comunista simpatico have beed removed due to inactivity.

Now, there's a significant change in the playoffs: we now battle bo5!! In order to advance further, a team must score 3 points vs an opponent team. The map pool stays the same: dm2, dm3 and e1m2 in no specific order. However, if there are more than 3 maps to be played, the lower seeded team choose the 4th map for the all map pool. If a 5th map is needed, the higher seeded team choose the last map from the remaining two.

The deadline for the semifinals is 1 March so you have only 7 days to play it!!

The Grand Finals will be announced later.

Good luck for all. This is the playoff time!!

The 2nd round starts now!

With the initial round we're just through, you may start preparing for the second round of ClanWarz.

The teams have played the total of 21 games in three divisions, with the Division of the Padawan Learners as the most active.

No clan has won all the maps - aX3 excluded due to the fact they played just two games - even the mighty Slackers or Satan's Soldiers made from other brilliant gamers like Milton or kingpin. The result of 3-0 occured in 15 games, 2-1 happened 6 times.

The concept of the ClanWarz is to warm-up the community and provide as many official games as possible. Another idea known is the interleaving of the divisions. Therefore, the teams with lowest ranks in the Division of the Siths have been replaced by the two top teams from the Division of the Jedis. Moreover, the best clans of the Division of the Padawan Learners take place of the worst Division of the Jedis teams, which now will run for their Quads in the lowest category.

Unfortunately, the team of Jamajengi had to face removal due to the complete inactivity in the league.

The site of the has also provided (thanks to cpe's invaluable input) the system of comments (under each game played), so feel free to whine/praise as much as you want. We have also worked hard on further improvement of the site so keep your fingers crossed and stay Quake-tuned!

Round 2 commences today and finishes on Sunday, 21.02.2010, 00.00 CET. Do not wait for the last moment and start your frienzied fragstreaks ASAP! We would also like the top Sith clans remember about the possibility of their games being coveraged live by Jehar's Tastyspleen.tv. Just hit us on irc at #qw.pl in advance and we will make it happen.

Gather your troops and start your gibbage! Let the 2d round begin!
