Russian QW League11 Winner - Doom
The Russian Quakeworld Scene has been very active over the past year, with many new players joining up to boost the numbers playing the great game.
The showcase tournament for the scene - the Russian QuakeWorld League has been ongoing over the past few months with a high level activity and participation.

In the past number of weeks the 11th season of the league came to an end with the grand final taking place on the 17th December between doom and xpr.

Click main title above for more details
Paths to the final:
Doom had a bye in to the second round of the winners bracket after which he went on to beat the following:
svyat
Admiral
SS
disconnect

He then faced xpr in the playoff for the final defeating him 3-1 in Round 6 knocking him into the last stages of the losers bracket.

xpr had a bye in to the second round of the winners bracket after which he went on to beat the following:
Parboil
gLAD
bnz
zepp

Having been beaten by doom in Round 6 of the winners bracket xpr
then faced huyase in Round 9 of the Losers bracket. Huyase was unlucky to go down after bravely fighting though nine difficult rounds of the LB.

The rematch was now set between doom and xpr

The first map was xpr's best map and he gave doom a right scare in a fairly comprehensive beating on Aerowalk.

DM4 and DM2 were close and exciting. The games were so close and could have gone either way however Doom was always able to just stay that little bit ahead to go into a 2-1 lead.

And then the decider. At 2-1 down xpr needed to win this. This was agonizingly close with doom holding his nerve to win by just two frags and to take the title by 3 maps to one.

good stuff

I only wish all of RQWL was this well followed, not just the Finals but maybe the Semi and Quarters too... The RQWL a couple months ago was totally in the dark, except for some demos on CHTV :>
