QHLAN11: Last and least, the 4on4 tourney

QHLAN11’s 4on4 tournament started yesterday and managed to gain only 14 signed up teams. Unfortunately, from spectators point of view, most of these teams were mix teams. Only Suddendeath and Lege Artis were able to play with lineup full of familiar faces. However mix teams aren’t that bad thing because sometimes they actually bring some excitement to the tournament. At QHLAN11 two mix teams were able to make it through the group stage and get into the semi finals.

Update (9.1.): Grand Final and Semi Final 4on4 demos are up on Challenge-TV!

The first team was Firing Squad mix team including the legendary duo, razor and reppie along with the top4 1on1 tournament finishers, locust and mawe. If we had a 4on4 version of aerowalk in QuakeWorld, this mix team would probably be almost impossible beat on it. The other mix team’s name was TORBEN’s and their lineup consisted of the dane ParadokS and three swedes, interceptor, phren and grisling. As most people expected, this mix team was able to make their to the semi finals as well.

In the semi finals Firing Squad mix’s first opponent was none other than Lege Artis. All 5 maps were needed in order to find out the winner between these two teams and in the end Firing Squad was able to pull it off and win the spot in the grand final.

Lege Artis [2:3] Firing Squad
dm3: 184:164 / e1m2: 236:157 / dm2: 123:220 / dm3: 121:207 / e1m2: 179:183

LA: nabbe, inferno, slime & mem
FS: reppie, razor, mawe & locust

The other semi final match went down between Suddendeath and TORBEN’s. Suddendeath started strongly by showing their strength on e1m2 and winning the first by map 25 frags. After the close first map, TORBEN’s engines started to warm up and they took the next three maps in a row.

TORBEN’s [3:1] Suddendeath

QHLAN is known for its very very late grand final matches and this year’s 4on4 final was no exception as it took place at around 05:00 (am). The grand final match was between the two mix teams, TORBEN’s and Firing Squad mix. Unlike the semi final matches, this match was already over in just three maps. Unfortunately we do not have the grand final map scores as of yet but they will be added as soon as we get them.

Firing Squad [0:3] TORBEN’s
dm3: 147-201 / dm2: 146-240 / e1m2: 168-262

FS: reppie, razor, mawe & locust
TO: ParadokS, phren, grisling & inter

All in all, QHLAN11 was the reppie show as he won both 1on1 & 2on2 tournaments and to top it off took 2nd place in the 4on4 tournament. More demos from QHLAN will hopefully start appearing on Challenge-TV soon, so keep your eyes open in case you are interested in those.

there is nothing wrong with mix teams imo.. hopefully it can lead to new clans being created and to get people who normally don't play 4on4 into playing it a bit more (for example locust and mawe)..

that no 4on4 demos have been uploaded yet is just lol.. should've been uploaded directly after the tourney ended imo.. grrr

well as I said, mix teams aren't that bad thing but I'm pretty sure most people would like to see more div1 teams with their normal lineups :) However you made good point about mawe/locust.

btw I heard the demos should be up tomorrow!

Well it's better than that they decide not to play at all? And a bit of change is always welcome imo. :-) But yeah, I would never like to see sr die because what clan will we all have to hate then??

Anyway, I moved the "You tell us!"-box to the sidebar of the frontpage for easier access.
