Weee, that first tournament round is finally complete. Well, mostly complete.

I didn't hear from jackyf, LnxTx, macgeek417, Anima, nickylew and michael so I have no choice but to kick all of them. Hopefully, this next round will be more successfull!

What else happened in the first round? Since a lot of players had issues getting their matches sorted we did extended it by one week and most of them had their matches these last few days.

We have two team changes which i allowed as exceptions. First, mr. a will play with Tonio from now on since Mr. Capslock was unresponsive. Secondly, GMLudo teamed up with schischa since Jordan couldn't be found for their match.

Accordingly, the upcoming matches are:

RM's WienerWürstchen & MM's Wienerwürstchen
vs.
MadT & jessor

artart78 & MKK-Bote
vs.
claymore & pterodaktill

BHW0011 & Hedgeking
vs.
Tiyuri & Firefox

Kaan & dctPL
vs.
Thomas1 & Stukr

schischa & GMLudo
vs.
mr. a & Tonio

llapingachos & pschyrum as well as O00 & slash will have to sit this one out :\

Here's a quick link to the updated ladder.
