Finals preview2007-01-09 14:57 | Foen
6th Euroq2l season is about to become to an end. A lot have happen and many interesting games have been played. How ever league started in the beginning of October and now little over 3 months later only four games are left to play. Or maybe 7, you can play bronze games too if you want, but if you can’t find motivation to it we understand it.
7 teams are still fighting for 1st place in their division, and here are the Final pairs, and little overview about them.

Division I:

Final: flagWizards [3]vs. flagPlay [2]
Bronze: flag2.0 vs flagtOk: will not be played


Division II:

Final: flagTAK! [3] vs. flagmdt [2]
Bronze: flagCD [3] vs flagIS [1]

Division III:

Final: flagH [3] vs. flagLmW [2]
Bronze: flagecf [3]vs. flagnmt [1]


Division I:

Swedish flagplay already advanced to the finals after beating flag2.0 in three maps. They are getting their opponent from other semifinal pair, which is Finnish flagWizards and Polish flagtOk. That game is delayed a week, mostly because of one persons working times, but we all can agree that semifinals deserve the best lineups from both clans. And I believe play have more flexible playing times so final will be played very soon after next Sunday. At least I’m hoping so.

Division II:

Before the league there was a lot of fuzz who should be in Div1 and who shouldn’t. flagTAK! has been dominating 2nd division in former leagues but still they found themselves in Div II. And again we see them in finals. Another clan who was left without 1st division place was flagCD. But they surprisingly lost against flagmdt in a playoffs thriller. So we see flagmdt in final with flagTAK!


Division III:

Overall Division 3 was totally controlled by two clans. flagNMT in Group A and flagecf in Group B, but guess what, neither one of them is in finals. Two Group A clans surprised them in semifinals, which naturally were both 5 mappers. (what a lovely semifinals we have had). flagH raped flagecf on dm7 (152-88) and that way won the 5th map. Also flagNMT got beaten in 5 maps and 5th one was dm7 which went to flagLmW 139-134.

Read more if you want more detailed previews and an interview from each clan.



Division I

play, > flag

Every time play joins to league they automatically become one of the biggest favors. And this season wasn’t different. Even tho their lineup wasn’t the same what we have used to see. They still had very strong lineup after recruiting flagph and flagpogo from stop and two best Estonian players flagHirzu and flagshugg. From old play we saw flagmobius, flagsquix and flagsenti in action, tho only flagmobius is active at the moment.

flagplay looked very strong in their group when they walked from victory to victory, losing only 2 maps in first 7 games. On 8th round flagWizards got revenge in regular season and beat them 0-2, and that cost them first place in Group A. Before facing flag2.0 in semifinal they got w/o win over flag3m in quarterfinals. Personally this flag2.0 game was far from expected, mostly because of flag2.0 lineup. But for sure play deserves their place in Finals but it might have been another 5 mapper under different circumstances.

Interview with play>ph


Wizards, [Wizard] flag

After handicapped last season they got flagprovi and flaglegenda back from army and in first time they had all the best players available for this season. But flagLegenda fastly got his hands full of school and was unable to play at all. So it left flagProvi, flagthaigo, flagsyanid, flagFoen and flagSotasankari to fight. Even tho flagWizards lost 2 games in regular season they won Group A. Both flagWizards and flagplay were tied with 19 points, but maps against each other went to flagWizards 3-2 so they took a first place. In playoffs they faced another Finnish clan flagKTA in first round, and got smooth 3-0 win over them. In semifinals they will be playing against flagtOk, which is scheduled to 14th January, and a reason for this you can read above. In these playoffs I’m not sure about anything anymore, but flagWizards should be a favor in this pair but we have seen what have happened in other semifinals.

Interview with [Wizard]thaigo


Team Online-killers, tOk flag

flagtOk has became the best polish clans, at least in this league. They got 2nd place in Group B, after flagHBQ dropped out and flag3m forfeited a game against them and that way gave up their position. But let’s not forget their impressive victories over flag2.0 and flagHBQ during regular season, so they have for sure showed what they are capable of. In playoffs they walked over flagBoD without any problems and that way earned their place in top4. In semifinal they are underdogs for sure, so they can play without any pressure and surprise quake2 world.

Division II

TAK!,TAK! flag

After dominating Div2 years, flagTAK! once again showed that they really are one of the best clans in div2 for sure, and also maybe deserves a place in div1. They are still unbeatable in Euroq2l-6, and have only given away 4 maps in regular season. Twice dm2 against flagv3, once dm1 against flagIS and dm7 against flagmdt. Are these maps their weak points? Maybe, but for sure we know what their strong point is, The Lava Tomb a.k.a. q2dm6. I can almost assure that every div1 clan would have problems against them on it.

They have pretty much raped everyone there, and the most impressive win there came in semifinals where they ran over flagIS 208-39. And watching that score you would keep flagIS very weak, but the truth is that this was only one map out of 5 in semifinal against them. flagTAK! hardly advanced to finals, but managed to win deciding 5th map against IS (142-118). So once again they are aiming to get Div2 trophy.

Interview with TAK!Muhaha


Mors Dicit, [mdt] flag

To me flagmdt was totally unknown clan before the league, and I wouldn’t mind to put them to div3, but that only proofs how good my polish scene knowledge was (is). Luckily we got help from plq2 administrators when we were making groups.

flag mdt played a smooth regular season, and then got fire in playoffs. They are coming to Div2 finals from 2nd place on Group B, 7 points behind flagTAK! which is quite a lot in such short season. They won 4 games and also gave a way 4. Including two losses against flagTAK! (maps: 4-1), so they are for sure underdogs in final. But we can’t forget their 3-0 win over flagttnm in quarterfinals and especially not forget 3-2 semifinal win over flagCD. I honestly don’t think that many believed to it, but it was enough that they believed in it. They were a bit better this time, or to be more specific 1 frag better, since deciding 5th map (q2dm6) ended 104-103 for flagmdt. Can they play on same level in final too? We will see.

Interview with [mdt]zotter



Division III

Hunters, [H] flag

Same story with flagH than with flagmdt, I didn’t have a clue on what level they are. With a help of plq2 admins we placed them to div3. Another good choice, they fit well to it and had interesting games during regular season. They lost twice to flagNMT and once against their finals opponent flagLmW. In playoffs they got w/o in first round, but then surprisingly won flagecf on semifinals and advanced to playoffs. This league definitely hasn’t been good for Division winners, so far 4 out of 5 have lost in semifinals. But this is like every other sport, you make you name in playoffs. Only goal in regular season is to advance to playoffs.

Interview with [H]eon


Lamers must Win, LmW flag

The last clan to introduce for finals is flagLmW but in my opinion they are a clan who surprised the most after beating flagNMT in playoffs, who totally dominated regular season. Even that Thuggee couldn’t play in semifinal, because of connection problems flagNMT should have won it, but flagLmW played the game of their life and won flagNMT in five maps. Don’t know was it a game of their life and maybe I’m the only one who is surprised here? Anyways in regular season flagLmW only won 3 games and lost 5. But one of those wins came against flagH, which is good news for them and for us. Now we can wait even final on div3
