Even though the scores witness of a more single sided match, than the two clans last encounter in week 5 of NQR 11. This match was actually very close many times during all 3 maps.

The match was scheduled for 21 CEST, but got off 10 minutes late due to some client issues with one of SA's players.

With more than 145+ spectators online on both Qizmo cams (80+) and QTV (65+), the scene was ready for the semi-final clash between the team who might be the top contender to the NQR titel, and the new clan with all the familiar faces.

Match Report:
Start
A split start as for tVS, blAze got the PENT and the YA while goblin got the first RL and reppie getting quad/eyes for SA. Milton did however manage to not let reppie get the first RA, and almost killed reppie, letting him get away with just 8 health. blAze used his PENT to get the second RL while reppie took out the rest of the tVS team by first discharging in WATER and then bs-spawning YA. While blAze used his rl to get YA and move to BRIDGE to secure the next, goblin used his to secure both RA and the QUAD area letting lakso get the next RA. Now the next QUAD seemed like a done deal for SA, but with just 3 seconds to QUAD goblin fell down from the QUAD area. With blAze just entering from WINDOW still with his RL. To SA's luck blAze managed to fall down aswell, and what would seem perfectly timed - reppie coming around the corner just as the QUAD spawns.

Second Pent
10seconds to PENT tVS has 90% map control a 30 frag lead, all armors and 2 RLs. Both blAze and diki goes to PENT with RL, but with some help with distraction from reppie and goblin, lakso manage to use some ninja stealth and grab PENT in the last second. Now with half the tVS team at PENT fighting not to give lakso a weapon, the SA players get both QUAD/EYES and RA, while still in need of weapons against tVS' now 3 RL's SA manage to take back control of important areas pushing tvs back to a 50/50 control percentage, keeping the low frag difference and denying them the next QUAD.

Third Pent
Now it's SA with the upper hand, having gotten the last QUAD helped them secure some RL's and Armors, while tVS is all 100hp/boomstick. However SA fail to get to PENT in time, letting blAze get it, with help from his team mates he gets the RL thats waiting, and takes out goblin who got the QUAD and reppie who has SA's last RL.

Last Pent
Since SA has only managed to get 20 frags since the last PENT, they are now behind with 80 frags, and with no weapons the chances for another PENT steal are slim. blAze is waiting at PENT with an RL, kills the few SA players who manage to get there, grabs the PENT and goes for the QUAD.

Without SA really getting back in the game, tVS won the first map.
