First level: q3w3 ([@] server )
Both teams were in the warchannel at least thirty minutes before the game, and the first server that was posted, was agreed upon by both teams. So far, so good. We had some small gtv problems, but we managed to start the game in time. As shuuk won the coinflip, we started off playing their choice of map, which was q3w3.

lineups :
shuuk : Widi , mike , gerber , Flexor , ivan

IQS : Furax , eri , ScanX, Yodaz , blunt

This game started off with some flagtouches, but none of them made it out off the enemy base. After 4 minutes, both teams finally got a hold of the other teams flag and tried to escort it to their own base. Both flagcarriers met in the middle battleground, and it was mike, carrying the iqs flag, who killed the enemy flagcarrier, and ran off to his base to cap the 1-0. A couple of minutes later, blunt took the haste, then the shuuk flag and tied the game. Both mike and Widi were allowed to easily pass the midfield with the iqs flag, making 2 consecutive caps in the next five minutes of the game. With only a little over a minute to play, blunt made a flagcap after a short cross-steal, making it 3-2. So with a little more than a minute left, iqs had to cap at least once. They threw everything they had in offence, and got away with the shuuk flag, but as they came in their own upper base, both the flagcarrier and his escort were killed by Widi who had just spawned there and secured the win for shuuk with his machinegun. Very close and exciting map, final score 3-2.

Second level: q3ctf2 ([@] server )
This map was chosen by IQS and they needed to win this map to have a chance at winning the game. They also played with a slightly different team, switching their coaches with tw off their players.

lineups : 
shuuk : Widi , mike , gerber , Flexor , ivan

IQS : Furax , Yodaz , blunt , Na!ts0rC , Jay

Both teams were doing about equally good at the beginning of this map. This resulted in either team capping the first five minutes. At 6:12, Furax opened the score and gave iqs the lead. Five minutes later, Jay made a run with the shuuk flag through the water, allowing the shuuk attack to steal IQS flag before he could manage to cap. This resulted in a short cross-steal, which was won by IQS so Jay capped the flag after all. A few minutes later, mike brought the IQS flag over the midfield, but got killed. gerber took it and capped the flag. Shuuk was trying desperatly to cap once more, but IQS did what it had to do to maintain this map win. This map ended 1-2. A third map was gonna have to be played.

Third level: q3w2 ([@] server )
As shuuk won the first map, they got to eliminate a map first. They eliminated wcp9, followed by iqs eliminating wcp5. Shuuk then eliminated w7 so we ended up playing q3w2. IQS swapped their coaches with some of their players again to optimize their team for this map.

lineups : 
shuuk : Widi , mike , gerber , Flexor , ivan

IQS : eri , Jay , ScanX,  blunt , Na!ts0rC 

The beginning of the third map was rather equal, as both teams knew they had to win this map. Either one of the teams could take control of both powerups, and none of both teams had any real good chances at capping the enemy flag. Both defences were well organized and it seemed to become a close map. Around the 12th minute, Widi was able to get both powerups, giving himself a double haste and time enough to get loads of armor. With plenty of armor and a well organized attack, he managed to get the enemy flag and get out of the IQS base. As IQS was chasing and shooting him, he kept loosing health, and finally made it into his own base with 1 single healthpoint left, and opened the score. Five minutes later, blunt was able to cap the shuuk flag and tied the game at one. It was looking like this was gonna be a thriller, and 4 minutes later, the sudden death overtime began. As both teams defences were well organized it seemed it was gonna go on for ages, but ScanX made a flagrun with haste and capped at 23:44 to win the match.
As widi's connection got fucked up during this game, there were a lot of timeouts and we waited a lot. Thanks to iqs for putting up with this :)

Very good game, very exciting aswell. Great sportmanship by both teams. Shuuk for allowing iqs to use 2 coaches, and iqs for not moaning too much about widi's bad connection during the last game. Thx to psi for doing GTV.
