Ok, I am back from the dead for a final newsitem, this will also be my last newsitem for now, as I am not going to be responsible for UT3:Warfare any longer.
First of all I want to thank Privateer, Cyz and Scootser for taking care of this cup. Cyz and Scootser did a great - fantastic, actually - job with the matchreports. This cup was pretty small and I am not sure where UT3:Warfare will go from here.
I never really connected with Warfare, and neither did anyone else from my clan (lieb, some may remember us), add a high portion of real life and you get one f*cking inactive sup. I know that I didn't do a very good job, especially when it comes to the cup - I guess I did ok-ish as a ladder sup.
I wish the guys that will take care of Warfare in the future a lot of fun, luck and a lot of people that play the gametype.

Congratz to everyone who made it into the top 3!

The Results

Serial Killing INstinct
Military Intelligence Dept. 5
Vanguard of Sabotage

The two powerhouses of european warfare collide tonite, we tried to sell the tv rights to bbc1 and itv, but sadly they already booked the eurocup football matches and could not fit us in, their loss i say!

Report from my POV inside.

I'm back from London \o/. The finals have been created and you can start challenging right away. Finals are to be played between the 1st and 9th of June, the sooner the better.

Cheers!

As with every meat, skin cut off the fat with 333 to 0
All matches have been played on skin's server, because ping was quite equal on both servers. FAT chose the maps TankCrossing and AlienSands and SKIN chose PowerSurge and Downtown.

Mi5 to face Skin in the final for gold, vos and fat will fight in the bronze final.

The matches have been forced to the proposed dates:

VoS - mi5 : Sunday 25th of May 20cet
FAT - skin : Sunday 25th of May 21cet

Good Luck and Godspeed everyone!

I know this cup is not what most would probably have expected, my schedule is packed to the rim job and I am not putting enough time into this cup - this won't change for the playoffs either, sorry 'bout that.

On the bright side I got around to get the Playoffs ready and you may start scheduling your matches, as I will be away from the 23rd to the 26th of May, I decided to let the semifinals-matchweek run till the 26th so that I may sort out the finals when I am back from my trip to london.

I wish the remaining four teams a lot of fun, enjoy the cup while it lasts. Furthermore a big thank you to the ppl who are putting their time into this cup, especially cyz and scootser!

Regarding playoffs procedure:

Ok i lied, we were too late to save Burma but we did manage to have a bloody good match. The fins were eager to finish match early so they could watch finland lose to USA in icehockey. Minime did a writeup for each round, ive added some words too so we can describe the match from both viewpoints.
