| a good or at least ok week for all quake.ie clans this week in the bwctfl where ts took a point off european superclan med, courtesy of a 0-0 draw on w2. they just missed out on some more points on w2 though, as med took that map 2-1. next week, on cp5 and cp9 ts have a winnable, but potentially very difficult game against the erratic swedish clan wc. judging by wc's opening result, taking maximum points from iqs, i predict it will be the latter, and ts will need to be at their best to profit from the fixture.
jobos made a good div2 debut vs the experienced clan zn, thanks in part to the welcome return of storm who looked like he would be playing for 32nd this season. those games finished 3-0 and 3-2 to jb, although w3 was probably a bit too close for comfort for jb, their winning cap coming close to the end of the game. it was a good game for some of jobos english players, dallow in particular, although icelandic eyky's ping was much worse than usual, around 160. their performances won't suffer from the loss of nutkins who returns to clan pr, the phoenix risen from the dead at last to rejoin the league (minus a few key players though). it was a good result for banjo's team, making the season look promising for them, especially given the withdrawal of tc (whom i tipped to be a class above every other team except x4) in exchange for a swiss clan suq who don't have the same proven record at this level in a uk league (although i could be doing suq an injustice - i don't know how good they are since they are the only team in this division that i have not played against or seen play).
next week they face the unpredictable clan rofl from austria, who had a good start to the season by comfortably beating mdu, but mdu does not really belong at this level so i wouldn't read too much into that result.
fh had a brief return to the glory days of season 8 where we faced familiar opposition in the dutch clan mia. mia had a guy with connection problems who dropped after 4mins, so we played most of that map game 4v4, but he came back a few mins from the end of the first map, and w3 was 5v5 all the way through and despite poor powerup control, fh managed to take that one 6-0 in a game where all of our players capped. was good to see jc back in action for fh in bw for the first time since season 6 when we had an unsuccessful attempt at starting up ctf. also for the first time ever, we had 2 broadbanders playing. unfortunately thats set to end as of this week, when i will be losing my dsl. hopefully i'll be able to get broadband in the new place i'll be living, but tbh i think i'll be lucky if i'm able to get isdn. so we are unlikely to see a lineup as organised or low pinging as we had in week 1 for the rest of the season. next week vs klf is a fixture i would usually be looking forward to with enthusiasm, given the maps (lovely cp5 and cp9), but since it is very unlikely that i will be able to play, i'll have to watch from #bwscores like in season 6 and hope for the best 
i suppose i'll have to mention the blueyonder 2v2 qw tournament2 that took place this week, where the gt players vincent and predsr, aka john_rambo and jetli of team camped, came out best in the 2v2v2v2 clanarena (despite not living up to their name thanks to the "no excessive camping" rule) thus grabbing the number 1 seed. they weren't quite so lucky in the tdm 2v2 competition proper though, as they lost out by 3 frags in the semi finals to firing squad, finishing 3rd overall.
