A quick heads up to a petition that is being drawn up to try and show Aspyr just how many mac gamers would like to see the upcoming Battlefield 2 Ported to the Mac Platform. Help show your support by heading here!

Good night fellow gamers,

season X is over. Time for a round up:

In both team ladders one clan won both the mainseason and the SuperFinals.

Although 3 opponents came very close in the very last week of the season Po)| could win it with a clear sheep margin. In the SuperFinals they kicked out z][t in the semi finals and cO in the final round.

The RvS Team ladder was decided in the last second of the season. dr. was ahead most of the season with a gigantic, almost impossible to beat, sheep margin, but MP5 tought us different and defeated them. In the SuperFinals they had to face the two time RvS event winner Core and also succeeded.

If a clan surprised us all it was -ViP-'s run to the top in the CQB ladder. They risked and played a lot and won almost all important games.

The RvS AS CTE ladder saw only little to none activity. What a pity. Even tough it was too inactive for being awarded with a winner icon I don't want to forget to mention BTs who won this one.

The other ladders 'failed to even start', to say it kindly.

Contrary the RvS and GhR FFA ladder. Frizbee won the RvS FFA ladder in front of Niklot. The ladder was already much more active than last season, but it's clear that the RvS FFA setup needs to be changed inorder to keep track of the scores easier.

The GhR FFA ladder was won by Twist with GhostSniper as runner up, who managed to play incredible 100 FFA cbs. This means he played in almost 2/3 of all played FFA cbs.

All winner icons have been sent out.

At all the season started gigantic with up to 40 matches played/day. In total 571 matches have been played in the last 2 month: 390 clan and 181 FFA matches.

At this point I also want to say a big big thanks to the new and young admin team, who managed their first season in duty very well. Out of 571 matches we had less than 5 cb issues. That's an excellent value. May next season we also manage it to stay complete trouble free.

Another big applause goes out to the tons of new clans who joined us this season. You have shown excellent sportmanship and will to clanbattle without thinking about the ladder standings, just playing. Great, keep this attitude, and we hope to meet you next season again!!!

Which leads me to the next point - I and the *DBL admin team noticed that throughout the season a few clans started to battle more in chats with dirty flamewars and the forums than actually playing. An attitude that has nothing lost here. Keep your anger for yourself and bear it like a man or a sheep, meh!

Season XI will start in may. In the meantime preparations are running hot, and your opinion will be asked more than ever for some topics. Further if we are getting along well we may also think about to organise some special events until the next seasons start.

So long, play fair, enjoy your wins and lose with even more dignity, and don't forget the ladder only keeps track of your performance but isn't the game itself, in the case you forgot this little negligibility.

Yours,

*DAMN Mauti in the name of the *DBL administration

Only a few days until the Raven Shield SuperFinals.

As for the GhR SuperFinals all clans have to be online at 7:00pm CET = 6:00pm GMT = 1:00pm EST.

Of course as you could do in GhR you can already preplay your round. If you want to do so you have to post the date and time in the *DBL forum and the other clan has to confirm it. So we know that both clans agreed to it.

Then only the winner has to appear on saturday one hour later than the other clans. The RvS Finals are only 2 rounds long so the entire SuperFinals will be played on saturday per default.

On monday season X will be summed up, all winners gonna be announced, etc...

Last but not least I would like to remind everyone that a rule is a rule is a rule is a rule.

Good luck to MP5, BBs, dr. and Core,

Mauti

Good night,

the Ghost Recon SuperFinals have been beaten and Po)| comes out as the winner by beating {E}, z][t and in the final round :cO:.
So Po)| has won both the mainseason and the SuperFinals. Congratulations. As said before all winner icons and list of all winners will be posted on monday after the RvS SuperFinals.

The GhR Finals were very exciting: after 3 seasons and 1 tournament z][t was finally defeated.

:cO:. was victorious against Animals and SpecialForces before Po)| defeated them. In this match :c0:. was handicapped by a 1-0 penalty for exceeding a deadline for 6 minutes. I'm quite sure several versions and comparisons of the story are already circulating in GameRanger. At all this violation as well as the penalty could have been easily avoided and was completely unnecessary. Nevertheless it was an exciting season with very exciting finals, e.g. SpecialForces defeated the Unknown very close 5-4 while :cO:. could turn a 1-4 arrearage into a 5-4-1 victory over the Animals.

In the case :cO:. wants again a formal and written down explanation plus links to the according rules email me or ask for it in the comments and I gonna write it down here or in the forum again.

Good games everyone,

Mauti
