Another year has passed since the last EDL finals, so I believe you are very tempted to see yet another awesome match between two duel masters. In the final we will see last year winner and title defender PURRI facing well known Finnish dueller Syanid. These two players already met together in EDL finals before. Not many newcomers will remember this because it happened six years ago in EDL #1. Their last meeting turned into victory for PURRI and leaving Syanid to take 2nd place. This was also first out of two times when Syanid reached EDL finals, but unluckily for him he didn't win either of them. Second time he met Damiah two seasons ago in EDL #6. But let's drop the history class and focus on present. During the group stage in this season, PURRI showed that he is still looking strong by winning all his matches and losing just one map against goat which was aeroq2 while goat had twice as lower ping as PURRI and it was still early stage of the league so we could assume that PURRI wasn't warmed up for this season yet. But for sure it was deserved victory for goat. During playoffs he didn't meet any strong looking player and lost only one map against sheFF which was q2rdm2. On the other hand we have Syanid who won all his group stage matches with one sided victory 2:0 and not leaving a single point to his oponents. During playoffs stage he mostly met strong looking players like  AiD, Assasin and nopek. His first two oponents lost by one sided 0:3 score until he met quite new polish dueller nopek who was able to take a map from their playoff match.
So what do we have here? Two scandinavian duel monsters in EDL finals, who are more than eager to take the victory on their side. This should ensure that we will see another tense final and let's hope to see a five mapper with many overtimes!
For third place will fight gerppa and nopek. |

By organising EDL we truly hope that we are doing it for the players, so we are giving our time to please you and we are trying to do our work. Of course we know we can't please everyone, but we keep trying to make it as smooth and fair as possible (which is not as easy as it sounds). That's why we created rules.
Unfortunately not every person plays by rules and as a matter of fact Thaigo has broken the rule number 1.4. One of the general rules, which says: "Any behavior taken by a player to intentionally harm the league or one of its matches can be punished".
It all started in 2x2? league when Thaigo's demos were uploaded to demosquad. Thaigo started blackmailing wision if he won't remove uploaded demos from DS, he will ban wision on every possible server (wizards, exhale, scarab, okidoki, quaek, euroq2l) where he has admincode and no q2scene league games (2x2?, EDL, EuroQ2L, etc..) will be allowed to be played on those servers. Threatening basically whole scene and admins is without a doubt serious thing to do and it shouldn't be accepted without any consequences. Some more info about that can be found on .
Wision did not remove those demos and even uploaded more from 2x2? league. This resulted in Thaigo breaking the rule 1.4 in the EDL playoffs match wision vs gerppa. Players were searching for an equal server. When they finally found one and readied up, thaigo has kickbanned wision from the server and as a result of this, players had to switch to worse server for both and play on higher ping and significant amount of packet loss. By doing this, thaigo has clearly interfered with a league match he had no attendance in and broke the rules by harming the match for two players. This action took a place on a server which does not belong to thaigo and he has no right to ban players there for his own satisfaction. It's also necessary to mention that Thaigo has already been warned before in 2x2? league that abusing server admin rights on servers to harm the leagues will never be tolerated.
This only action is fairly enough to make a decision like this, but we also considered his previous behavior in the league, where he was bending the rules to his liking, abusing admins' willing to let players play their games in later stages by not forcing games every week, unwilling to schedule matches with his oponents, coming up with ridiculous modification of the rules, not giving his oponents many choices for playing their games, not willing to send screenshots and so on.. This is not what sportsmanship is about and as in any other tournament we require it from players too. All this behavior is creating troubles during the league and harming participating players.
Let us also mention that one admin of those servers which Thaigo got admin passwords for already showed big disappointment in Thaigo's actions and felt that his trust was betrayed by him.
Because all the reasons above, this player has never been easy to work with, we decided to remove him from EDL and also we want to inform that thaigo is not welcome in any upcoming season of EDL. Decision is final. Since his abusive behavior took place before his match with Jol, Jol will advance to next playoff round and play against Gerppa. |
