AUS CL Season 2 finished

[s]event[/s]

The Australian Clan League's second season has come to an end. There was a big upset as the great favourites to win it all, Mas - the Malaysian national team - did not go all the way.

The Australian Clan League has been going on since the beginning of January. The teams have fought, week after week to get one of the four top positions in the league table. That would mean that they made it to the semi finals. The first semi final was played between the team placing first and fourth, and the second one between the second and third team.

Win	5-0	=	6 points
Win	4-1 / 3-2	=	4 points
Loss	2-3	=	2 points
Loss	0-5 / 1-4	=	0 points

All matches were played in 4x1on1's and 1x2on2's. The special point system can be viewed in the table to the right.

For each match there was a starting map. All matches were best out of 3, and the loser of the first game got to chose any of the following maps. Lost Temple, Halls of Valhalla, Jim Raynors Memory, Namja, Guillotine, Luna, Blade Storm.

When the Grand final was coming there were two teams who both really wanted to secure the victory in the second AUS CL. The match format was not the usual 4x1on1 and 1x2on2, but 5x1on1 and 2x2on2. The first map was Luna, then losers pick from the map pool mentioned earlier. The match showed to be really tight and it all came down to the last 2on2 match. A match that the aus.-guys managed to win. That brought the trophy to their team and they can now proudly call themselves AUS CL Champions of season 2.
