| coming into the 4th week of clanbase summer cup, ded with 3 games played, fh with two, and n8z with one so far.
the cup started as i expected, a win for dedanann over an unknown french clan gr (report here). ded played with a significant ping disadvantage on the first map, ospctf2, which was presumably gr's map, but still managed a 4-2 win. things were different on the second (fair ping) map, q3wcp15, where zonic was the main man (i'm just reading stats) with 6 caps (59 kills), in what finished a very easy win for ded. some complaints over wildcards etc. and arild not being registered in time for ded, so it was a good thing people remembered that this summer cup is not designed to be competitive, but as a fun cup.
the second game for ded was vs an old dutch outfit who have been living in the lower divisions of ctf for a few years now. it appears ded suffered from the lack of zonic, and despite scoring 3 caps on each map, lost both in a high scoring fixture. ded went with cp15 again, while c13 chose cp14.
next up for baz' men was the mostly-uk clan sqz, tipped as favourites at the start of the season, it would be a tough game for ded. ded had a strong team out, and took cp15 easily as i would have expected, that game ended 8-3. sqz chose ctf3, where i would have fancied ded to play heavy def and powerupping, use the strong fragging power of zonic to keep a 0-0 draw on what is usually a low scoring map. that wasn't the plan unfortunately, and sqz did well with a 3-0 win. the final map was ospctf2, and good play by hock helped sqz to a 4-1 win. unlucky ded, they must now take the win vs the polish 303 and hope that c13 slip up against gr.
its worth mentioning that ded have also been having a good run in the savage summer cup, with the help of two fh players, where they took a win and a loss vs a 2nd seed dnc. their group also includes omg and ^x^.
things are going as expected in division 3 too, where fh lost the first game vs clan ruda. the swedes won a close w2 3-2 in the last minute, before taking cp14 easily. good play by ex-tkoe killha on the cr team. a week later we managed a win over polish side ff (report here). a comfortable w2 was followed by a very close cp18. that game finished 5-4, a return to competitive play by ch following a season in america marred by cheating accusations (some of the ff players accusing fh of aimbotting). our next game will be against zero, mostly germans, currently top of the table.
n8z had just one game so far, favourites from the start against k0 thanks to a strong lineup featuring the return(?) of melachi. a comfortable q3w2 was followed by faggotry on behalf of k0 who took a default win because melachi didn't have q3wcp18. in a fun cup, this is lame, and imo k0 should have voted another map. but maybe they were kept waiting a very long time or something so i won't go too hard on them. it made no difference anyway as n8z battered them on cp15. they play 3p next, proposed for monday, before a potentially tough fixture vs puff.
