While the blog's been inactive season 14 of WZL has gone on and this Sunday at 2pm EST in ?go league in SSCX Warzone CTF will see the deciding game 4 of the finals series.

Taking part in the match are the four time champion all-Finnish squad Gust, the veteren mostly South American squad DAMN_Yankees and #1 seed elderslayers - a squad made by the merger of Elder Clan and darkslayers, as well as being the squad I play for.

So what's happened in the finals series so far vorbis? Since you asked so nicely I'll tell you. Gust took game 1:

Opposing team won (5400 points given)

I think you can work out what happened in game 3. If elderslayers hadn't of won we wouldn't be having a game 4:

So it all comes down to one game this Sunday. A deciding game in a WZL finals is always interesting to watch. You can only take the game by a flag win - there's no overtime or time limit. A squad could take a surprising win inside the first ten minutes or it could turn into a real war of attrition over several hours.

There's no real favourite in this match. Gust have the experience of past final wins, DY have the 56k connections from São Paulo and es have my leet terrier defense. Check it out this Sunday at 2est.
