News§ow.au Cup: beastrn on top

Who would have thought that?
The aussies managed to get 16players signing up for the News§ow.au Cup.

The two highest seeded players, (#1) jamflange and (#2) beastrn from clan ZR (Zero Remorse) proved their mad skills and battled their way through.

The first time they met in the WB Final where beastrn won an exciting match 2-1.
jamflange met [9]neon in the consolation final and defeated him 2-0.

So it was again beastrn vs. jamflange, now in the grand final!
Coming from the Loser Bracket jamflange managed to take the first bo3 quite easily 2-0.

2nd best-of-3:
beastrn won wdm5, and jamflange took wdm14.
Now both players at the top of their game.
last map was wdm2, which beastrn won!

News§ow.au placings:

#1 ZRbeastrn
#2 ZRjamflange
#3 [9]neon

For all who think aussies don’t have skill I uploaded a big demo pack with 17 games.
- There you go

Was great fun!
I’m sure we gonna do this sometime soon (when I’m in the mood to get up at 7:30am on a sunday :p)

BoBel aka Mr-First-Cup-Winner-2008

Once again BoBel proved his damn skillz.
He just walked over everyone in the News§ow cup and took gold.

Only loosing one map in the LB Semi Final against PiC|Scoobz0r the german had no mercy with his opponents.
After winning the WB Final against xlo^Hyrveli he met PiC|Scoobz0r again in the overall final.

Big thanks to both!

And so the Hype machine begins…

There you have it.
Will, one of the coders of Warsow, just released that picture.

As you can see, 0.4 is on its way to be released soon.
