Welcome to the last round of the regular season of owl:se!

Most clans would have worked out that their 9 games won't mean much for the final standings, hopefully there's a bit of self pride or at least some clan stability that means they won't be disbanding next week and they will see off their last match. For those wondering, there won't be a very large break between owl2 and owl3, and the more stable/clans with longer history will get more preference than ever before...

Anyway! Back to owl:se,
The ONLY movement in the top four for each division this round was TtS leap frogging TM. rewound (division 1) and we-r (division 2) remain undefeated in each of their respective divisions. At this late stage in the competition, only GO! has any sort of chance of breaking into the top 4, however the seeding of the top 4 in each division is still up for grabs.

Team Fortress 2 - Your Mac Questions Answered


It'll be interesting to see what comes out of the influx of new players.

Now would be a good time to invest in Logitech, since there's going to be a lot of Mac users wanting a good mouse.

With 500 euros up for grabs, the finals of the Esports Heaven's Sennheiser Challenger were played on 2/25/10 between TCM-Gaming and I Don't Know? (idk?). The 64 team single elimination tournament played over the course of 3 days culminated with this best of 3 series between these two European Giants.

Badlands, the first map in the bo3, was tied 4-4 after 30 minutes of play. An overtime Golden Cap round was won by idk?. The second map was a different story, with TCM-Gaming storming Granary 5-0. GullyWash, rarely seen in the North American TF2 Scene, is the deciding 3rd map.

Portal 2 announced:

Co-op and multiplayer confirmed.

Quote:
The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.
