2003.11.06 09:53: RQWL overview

RQWL is alive, the playoff is approaching and situation on qualification stage is next.

Group A: Firing Squad looks very strong contender and very confident in success, and I think I won't be mistaken, having told that exactly they are the one of the mainest favorites of this group. In spite of the fact America Must Die has been beaten up by razor/reppie, this team showed good potential and deservedly took the second place.

Group B: In this group were only two with a half matches where SEXY wins above Game-as-Life team with score 2:0 and wins one map in match with Armageddon team, then one of players ARD refuses to continue, than quite deserves WO. But I don't want at all WO in league though it would be quite deserved and nobody could reproach me with it. Second match was between Game-as-Life and Armageddon 2vs1 ended with score 2:1. Other commands should be more active, if they want to challenge leadership.

Group C: Here the most interesting matches which has involved considerable quantity of spectators - the match between Zvery and Black Spiny, ended with the score 2:1, and match between E from Finland and Zvery, ended with same score. All these 3 teams look very strong and I think, that exactly they will be the main pretenders for the right to be in playoff.

Group D: In this group the main favorite is team SuperHeroes, or as they are called in Russia - SuperPadonki (untranslated). DooM/UnknowN in all matches gain clear flawless victories with the score 2:0, and the second place take offset/pore from Zvery2.
