Due to scheduling conflicts and general lack of interest, the tournament has been closed early and all four teams remaining the competition have been declared equal winners. Congratulations to all those involved and thank you for your commitment.

So yeah. DS is disqualified for reasons of not getting back to me in a really long time, after 3 attempts, and oppositely, asd has made itself available.

FC lost by the smallest margin of the round, so they move on, but will play against myself and Baka rather than DNA again, unless someone has a reason to object to this.

Match three was held yesterday. The map used for the match was the map "Antrodome", a map which clan SimplX considered a worrisome choice. Shredlight wrote:

"I think Simplexity should get a rematch. Antrodome was a... horrible choice for a scrim. It was like having a race between a car with racing slicks vs. one with off road tires through a mountain course. Flowercove had all the advantages on that map.

We trained under maps such as lobby, hammertime, and heresy, maps where there were relatively open areas and not stupidly claustrophobic twisting hallways. We couldn't even hit them because they boosted around at point blank in the hallways and disarmed us while flying around in the air at 100 miles per hours [sic]... It also would have been nice if we had known what map we were playing on BEFORE the scrim.

Say you're in a texturing competition. You were not told what program you were to use until the day of the competition, and you were completely unfamiliar with the program, whereas everyone else had used it in the past at one point or another. Wouldn't that seem just a little bit unfair to you?

The point is, the map catered more to their style than it did to ours, a compromise would have been better, such as playing on a map that would have had catered to both of our styles, the best of both worlds. Hammertime would have been great for this match, as it had both close quarters and open areas.

The reason of the massive difference in points is because my teammate and I realized there was just no point very early in the match, I started watching TV and my teammate was watching anime. I just want to point that out. We gave up BECAUSE we wanted a rematch, tbh. If the map were, say, hammertime, we wouldn't be arguing about this. The reason I brought this whole thing up is because the match just didn't seem fair."

There is no word yet whether a rematch will be set, but this site will be updated once an official response is made.

UPDATE: Everwing says:

While their case is in some regards understandable, in light of the regulations laid out before the commencement of the tournament, there was nothing remotely illegitimate about the match, so the request for a rematch is denied.

The first two matches were held yesterday. The results are posted at the right.

Based on points, Oshi- won Game Two. Unfortunately, they were forced to remove themselves from the league after the match was over due to the loss of Sin.
