@pacman, put your guys together.

[PacMan]

ok sounds good there you go once I have players/maps I'll let you know (PM/mail) about that for the Christmas holidays.

Why no one talks about what really interest people the most - final match to name the real undisputed chempion of Unfreeze servers: DT vs team .EZ? I mean it.

We short of players dude and the boss Pippa sorting things out

[^Walnut*]

@Pacman is just afraid that he will loose against you guys, since he also saw that you have become better over the tournament!

@kf finally past week I assembled ami, ricky, blaze, fau, infinity, aimer, fusion and ironmonkey for team UnFreeZe therefor now just waiting to schedule a date to make this happen the next week. I think the initial schedule for this should be the next Wednesday 3 of January of 2024 21:00 CET (UTC+01), currently I have three people noted for that date (fau, aimer and ironmonkey), so I'll let you know within this week about team UnFreeZe schedules and looking forward hearing the same from your end otherwise the default date of the Wednesday 3 of January of 2024 21:00 CET (UTC+01) should remain. team UnFreeZe picks for this are charon3dm9, phantq3dm1_rev, bal3dm3 so you can already go thinking as well what you want to block from those and what else do you want to pick (three maps) from the remaining map entire pool.

ok, after two weeks of talks (virtually at last hour) finally here it's the public card for the last super fight of the season between the last two seasons champions:

• event: the champions fight (2023 Champion VS 2022 Champion)
• match up: Immortal Clan (1784.89) VS Теам Москва (1694.87)
• date: Wednesday 27 of December of 2023 19:00 CET (UTC+01) [21:00 MCK]
• server: fpsclassico.com:27970 or fpsclasico.de:27970
• gtv: fpsclassico.com:27971
• picks:
  1. Immortal: 6++, reqdm5 (-), teddm1
  2. Москва: 7++, overkill (-), pro-dcmap7
  3. tie-breakers: hub3tourney1 (b-), pro-q3dm13 (a-), q3dm8
• maps: 6++, 7++, teddm1, pro-dcmap7, q3dm8
• format: competitive 5vs5 best of five UnFreeZe rulesets, no mid-game changes/spectators allowed

I reviewed it a couple of times and I think that there's no mistakes there so I assume that then that should be and with that everything should be finally ready for tomorrow to close the season with a legendary match up then please have fun, good luck and see you tomorrow all in-game as usual.

Names of players playing?

for other than the well known immortal line up is not entirely clear who will show up for them this time (hence why it's Immortal vs Москва and not vs Приде). all I know is that it appears like ixsy, the previous season mvp, is not gonna be available so I assume it should be odin, ixxaaa and three or four more players. whatever the case is the expectation is high about this fight and nevertheless a legendary match up to finally close the season (the original pride line up is second in the historic ranking at 1783.73 points only behind immortal currently with 1784.89 so despite there's no actual titles at play like that it's really a historic match up between the first and the second highest rated teams at the time of writing so it remains to be seen how it plays out specially considering the final picks that are gonna be played).

So it's like to cheer up kf to let him think he's good (lol) and they will never be champien if they don't fight orignal team lol

no, as I said it doesn't work like that, it's not like you consistently win 9 out of 10 fights over a season then you lose a fight out of the blue against a team that hasn't showed in a year and that's it, Moskva undisputed/undefeated and takes it everything. regardless of what happens immortal will remain as 2023 champions, I repeat, nobody took anything away from that and no one will as that's not even something they can really "lose" since that will always remain in the record. for Moskva (aka sbornaya/pride in the competitions) to be champions once again and top immortal they would need to complete another season in full (and take it obviously) just like they did the previous year. that said I repeat that it's a very interesting fight nevertheless to make both in terms of quality (current first and reigning champion versus the base spin off of the second and former undisputed champions in the ranking) as well as base to determine the balance (i.e. I was obviously counting them in terms for the organization, now as usual and as with everything if that's not really gonna be the case then and/or now they are gonna participate in a more limited form then it will have to be properly accounted and factored for the next potential event organization accordingly as it can't be otherwise) and clearly a legendary super fight to now finish the season so see you all this evening in game to play this.

ok the season super fight has finished with another immortal win in a epic fight that went the distance with a notorious Moskva performance that would have made previous season mvp ixsy proud of their guys and did not fail to deliver. very well played both, top notch plays, ggs. videos/stats being produced as we speak to be posted later on so stay tuned.

ok this morning finally completed all that (stats, videos youtube etc) and now just moved all this to close the season into a separated sub-forum as to keep things organized as usual. as said I think that it lived up to the expectation and it was a really great fight to close a also solid season. it was really interesting that despite the inactivity, all the changes that there was during this period, coming with their most basic formation so far and all that these guys gave one of the toughest fights to the reigning champions and virtual current undisputed champions aspirants this season which then raises some serious questions as to what could have happened have they showed since the beginning and particularly with their top formation as it was, initially, meant to be. obviously things aren't that simple and there's way more factors at play than some specific figures as can be seen but then may be after all my calculations/projections weren't as off. whatever the case is unfortunately we'll never find out so then it will have to be evaluated again in the event of a potential future event still to determine and we'll see how it plays out.

as for the fight itself it was a legendary showdown between two specialists where each one consistently took their home maps and with the deciding moment being the tie-breaker. among other reasons this is a very good example of why the legged format has been introduced as it would have been really interesting to see how this would have played out in the scorecards if it would have gone the distance as it seemed like it was going to be the case instead of having it all decide in a single fixed tie-breaker. anyways, it's just the what it's and that kind of competitiveness wasn't really the purpose of the event neither I really think there was room as to extend this much more as discussed previously so hopefully we'll find out how that plays out at other time/events if it's that it happens. in the individual side I think that it was probably olc biggest night/win and as I see it from the numbers I'd say that probably had not been because of him and immortal would have probably lost even despite all the Moskva handicaps as mentioned before. on the Moskva side odin once again showed in-game that I listed him none other than number seven in the historic current team UnFreeZe for a reason and not for the sake of it and was the true leader and biggest threat of his team. additionally from them roxor was also sensational, particularly for a debut the guy was top notch, clearly one of the sensations and best players of the event. all in all as I said I think they did not fail deliver and made the most out of it. matter of fact, I'd say that given the circumstances (the team overall was statistically on par with Soobshchestvo rather than with the Sbornaya) probably they did beat expectations yesterday or at least they beat mines I can tell so it would be great to see them coming back in some shape or form (i.e. to be honest I think that team was only really missing blck/nastia as to be a top contender here add a in-shape ixxaaa to that and we can be talking about a champion easily) in the event of another tournament and see how it finally plays out.

last but not least I want to finally thank everybody for participate and not only completing the season in full that even going a extra mile with some more extra fights and all so well played and great games everyone. in my opinion it was all well worth it so for the future we'll see how it plays out as usual but one thing I can already tell is that I will not change this and let it become something else that is not to accommodate anyone so the overall policy and spirit of the events/tournaments here will remain true to themselves as it can't be otherwise.
