Hammerfists scored the third goal in round 27 (!) and finally won a long and hard match against Pirans Underworld team 3:2.

In the third play-off, Hanno beat Piranjade 4-2 in an absolutely nerve-wrecking match.

I think I've never seen so Nuffle so sadistic like in this match against Piran. He wrecked her right from the start, than let her fight and fight and come back, and right when it looked like she could pull of a heroic victory, he destroyed her.

The wood elves send hugs to Piran and the Misfits. Yes, even for the troll.

Also, grats to Hanno for coming back when all seemed lost already!

That was real thriller to spectate. Big GG for both of you!

With one match left to go, we have a pretty clear picture of the semi-finals. We're keeping this as cross-divisional as possible, so the next matches are somewhat determined.

Hamburg Hammerfists (HannoB) vs. Natural Disaster (Psyringe)

Runic Sleeping Pills (mefet) vs. Sewer Swappers (kanarek)/Nagarythe Decadence (E_A)

The reason being that in cross-divisional, the highest-ranked from one gets automatically the lowest from the other division. So, essentially, both top seeds won from both divisions, ensuring they won't play each other.

If E_A wins, it's both 1 and 3 seeds--easy cross-division matches of Dwarf/Wood Elf and Dwarf/Dark Elf.

If kanarek wins, then it's both 1 seeds, a 2 seed from division 1 and a 3 seed from division 1. Thus, the higher of the one seeds (in essence, the only team from division 2) get the lowest remaining team from outside their division. The other two then play each other.

Fun stuff ahead, folks...looking forward to the last match of round 1!

Sewer Swappers vs. Nagarythe Decadence will most likely happen this evening around 20.30. Still a bit unsure regarding the details since I'm alone with the kids today ;-)

EDIT: Delayed for uncertain time. We're both sick and trying to recover enough to have a game atm.

EDIT2: He hasn't been online since, so today's game is off. We'll have to see about a rematch since I will have to prepare a conference appearance this week :-(.

Sorry E_A and others. I do not feel well those days, so if we are in some pressure to move the play-off day. I am willing to concede the game.

I am not sure, when I will be able to play, but me and E_A are in touch and we will try to make the match happen:).

Impatient spectator here :)

I probably wouldn't have time to play my semi-final before the weekend anyway, so from my perspective, there's no need for you two to hurry. Personally I'd be very curious to see how the Sewer Swappers (the only team who's beaten mine so far in this season) against E_A's agility monsters. :)

Unlikely to happen now I'm afraid. He's been off-line for two days now due to sickness and I leave for a conference in Bologna tomorrow and won't be back until next week.

back alive and kicking, but I fear a bit too late

if we have time to play, than I am more than happy to wait for the end of conference
if the time is the issue, please give the victory to E_A as the reason to not play was on my side

Anyone seen Piran / E_A or heard anything?

Seems ive had bad timing catching actually anyone online this week.

Sorry for the delay everyone.

Hiya, Returned from Italy yesterday evening. Still somewhat groggy but basically available again. :-)

E_A, kanarek...can we make this game happen soon...?

Later on there will be fixed deadlines for playoffs/semis/finals as well. We'll post the details later.

It would be shame to have to Nuffle the winner, but it seems there is need to really decide how to handle this sort of situation without deciding case-by-case.

Yet again: Sorry everyone for the delay.
