Season XII Playday 10

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 05:35:01 -0500

Two matches were played yesterday in the WC3L. Last season’s champions World Elite is not performing so well this season. They’re currently ranked 4th and with players like Sky, Infi and TeD one would expect at least a top 2 finish. This season the gap seems too big and they will have to secure their 4th place which will give them a small advantage in the online play offs. In order to do so they will need to win against the New Generation team. This seems to be an easy objective as nGt still hasn’t won a match this season. However their 2on2 team KiWiKaKi and NightWOlf already managed to surprise a lot of teams. SK is in a terrible shape at the moment, they’ve lost 5 out of 9 matches and if they still want to end this I season with a nice result they will need a win here. Oddly enough RAPTOR lost just as much matches as SK but is ranked way lower. RAPTOR still has to score some points or they will end up playing the dreaded play-downs.

First off, Evil Geniuses had to score big vs Team Colorful in order to secure the first place. After that the World Elite will face off against the German Team ALTERNATE. Both teams are quite disappointing this season, World Elite now aims to claim the 4th place while ALTERNATE will try to dodge the play downs. The last match of the day was between Mousesports and the New Generation Team. Ngt still hasn’t won a match and they will need to hurry if they still want to end the season with at least 1 victory. Mouse will try to win their second match of the season with a 5-0 score and keep the pressure on World Elite.

WC3L Season XV Play day 9

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 14:25:13 -0500

The first match of play day 9 will be an exciting one as Team ALTERNATE and Team Colorful fight for their last chance to dodge the play-downs. ALTERNATE’s best players XlorD and yAwS have both declared to retire from Warcraft after the current season of ESL Pro Series. We will see if they are still motivated enough to pull out a win. Colorful seems to be in a big slump lately, they have lost their last 5 matches so they will try their hardest to finally taste victory again.

WC3L Season XV Playday 8

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 14:10:44 -0500

The last match of WC3L play day 8 will be a battle for 6th place between Mouz and Wicked. Wicked is currently ranked 10th, which of course is way to low for a team with superstars like ToD and HoT. They will try to make up for their humiliating defeat against Go last play day. Wicked still wants to make a top 6 finish this season, that’s still possible if they manage to grab 5 points here. Mousesports is a tough opponent though. With players like Fly, TH000 and they’re recent addition, undead powerhouse FoV, they should not be underestimated. If Mouz takes a win here they could climb all the way up to the 4th place.

WC3L Season XV Playday 8

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 15:41:48 -0500

Today the still undefeated We are Go will take on the current number 9 of the WC3L ranking, RAPTOR-GAMING. It’s really close at the bottom of the ranking with 3 teams all having 15 points so RAPTOR needs a win here in order to stay away from the play downs. They will probably count on their Swedish trio: LiiLD.C, KnOfF and Thorzain to bring home a win. Although undefeated, clan Go is still 4 points behind nGize so they will be trying to score a 4-1 or even 5-0 win. This is very well possible since both Shy and Focus are on fire this season.

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:18:20 -0500
