QNC: Last 3 Rounds Ahead
Since our last news about Quake Nations Cup a couple of things happened.
Finland faced Russia, Netherlands played against Sweden A and two matches have been played also in the Losers' Bracket. And what more awaits us in this tournament...?

Commentated video
Most importantly, commentated video from match Sweden C vs. Netherlands can be played directly from PG24 TV Archive. Spread this link among your friends to show them how QW gameplay looks like!

Previous matches
Match reports with demos are under the links so here only a short notes about every match:
Finland 2:0 Russia A
- Way too easy victory for the favourites of this tourney. Or maybe not?
Netherlands 2:1 Sweden A
- Real QW drama in the 3rd decider map!

Losers' Bracket:
Russia B 2:0 Hungary
- Thanks to zero for putting up a backup plan and making a new Hungarian lineup to get the match played!
Sweden C 2:0 Germany
- One frag difference in dm3, indeed a close game!

Teams that had to be removed from the tourney due to inactivity are United Kingdom, Portugal, Poland B and Sweden B. I guess the inactivity is caused mostly by the length of the tourney, even I didn't expect it to take 5 months. So all to say here - thanks to all the players who participated.

Following matches
We are going to see Winners' Bracket Final between Finland and Netherlands, the schedule has not been set yet, watch QW Schedule for updates. As anyone can easily guess this will be the hottest match in this tourney so far.

In Losers' Bracket we will see doubled Sweden vs. Russia fight! Sweden C are going to face Russia A and Russia B is going to play against Sweden A. Team Russia A has good chances to win the match while Russia B most probably will have hard time trying to compete with Sweden A.

I wish all the teams good luck and have fun!

P.S.: Sorry for so low amount of updates about this tournament, I'm trying the best I can.

Considering you're the only QNC admin writing for QuakeWorld, I find the coverage pretty satisfying. Good job and keep going! Would be nice to have a bit more of a spectacle for the final though, perhaps with commentary and stuff.
