This is the final post in this cup. I'll try and keep it short.

Belgium won the bronze because France forfeited. France had to forfeit cause they couldn't agree to the date to play this war, mainly because there weren't enough players available. Credit to France, they played a nice war and didn't want to make a fuzz about this they solved it in this quick and easy way. Credit to Belgium, they played a nice cup and are now awarded with the bronze cup.

I made my goodbye-to-the-cup post earlier, so for the people that are interested I refer to that.

The final of the scandinavians where there could be only one

Interview with the Swedish teamcaptain

The finals were only one step away, and tonight it was Finlands turn.. (again)

Sweden beat Belgium, in a war with both sides playing with all they got.

As you all know, the cup is still running. The semi-finals are coming up.
Sweden will face Belgium.
France will face Finland.
The reason why I post this now, is that I think more people will read this now, then they will if I posted it after the cup has ended.

I would like to say:
Thanks to all of you who participated in this cup or are still participating.
Thanks to all admins who helped in adminning.
Thanks to all other people who kept this cup running with positive energy.
Thanks to RV52 and the clanbase crew for supporting me and giving me this shot to run the cup.

I hope you all enjoyed it as much as was possible under these circumstances. And hopefully you'll enjoy the final matches.
Last but certainly not least, I'd like to say goodbye to a person who I respect greatly. That person is leaving this community, he did his final job on Monday, leading the German team in a good and well fought war versus Finland. I'd like to say thanks Spielfuehrer, for the inspiration & motivation you've given me and undoubtly many others.

I've done my best sofar, and will continue doing so.
Friendly regards,

Very well played by both clans and no flaming at all

Belgium had better control over their map

You might have noticed the posts about a cheating list in the TO forums. As of such there will be some players that aren´t allowed to play in this cup anymore. From now on everyone on the list is not allowed to play in any NC matches this season. Players who have admitted to cheating will also be banned from playing this cup, and not be allowed to participate next season. Any players from the list who have been proved innocent or falsely accused wil of course be allowed to play. Please confirm with RV52 if you are unsure of those who are excluded. Cup rosters will be updated to reflect this so check if you are unsure. This follows as a consequence of RV52´s post.

With friendly regards and with a positive look to the future,
