CL Semifinals: Excello vs MYM 5/11 @ 21:00 CET

Wed, 7 May 2008 22:16:24 Europe/Berlin

MeetYourMakers capatulpted into the top three after two members on both LRM and Excello were caught hacking, dropping both teams in the standings. Excello saw their first place in the division and a bye into the Clan League Championship leave. The two teams met in Week 6 with Excello originally coming out on top with the win. The win put Excello at 6-0 while MYM was in a tough spot at 3-3. The Ukranian duo of Strelok and White-Ra carried them through the 1v1s as the two defeated IefNaij and CaStrO respectively. But NonY and a rare appearance by Ptak evened the score, taking out Dreiven and DinOt respectively. The 2v2 originally belonged to Excello, who sent out TroNiC and Ryko to take care of White-Ra/Strelok. After Tronic's ban, the match was reversed giving MYM the win. With the two teams in the semi finals, this should make for an incredible match. The 1v1 matches will be played on Peaks of Baekdu with Python for the 2v2. ...

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 07:42:59 Europe/Berlin

Heading into Week 9, nearly all of the spots were known - who would make the playoffs, who would stay in Division 2, and who would be heading back down to Division 2 for Season 19. ToT clinched first place and a spot in the Clan League Championship with their current 2-1 lead over 3D. Coming in second was MYM who dominated LRM 5-0. Tied for points but lost due to the tiebreaker when the match was reversed because of the hacking incident was Excello, coming off a 3-2 win over 50Cal. 3D and F2F rounded out the top five at 6-2 and 30 points for both teams. One match is still open that matters - 50cal vs rSk. If 50Cal wins the final 1v1 match, they stay in Division 2. If they lose, LRM stays - had LRM scored a single point against MYM, it wouldn't matter. >> Replays << ToT)Mondragon( 2-0 3D.Fo...
