MAGESTORM GUILD LEAGUE 2001

SoLD won: 9 matches
SoLD lost: none
Draws: 4 matches

With 16 guilds participating (before several guilds left the tourney), the official MGL 2001 was the biggest 5 - 15 tourney ever.
Sadly, some guilds dropped withdrew in the middle of the tourney, namely as DRK (Dark), BoW (Brotherhood of Wizards), ZT (Zero Tolerance), EX (Element X) and AD (Alliance of Darkness). AD re-entered the competition.

SoLD ended up ranking second (again!).

vs. Society of the Bitter Rose in Halls of the Loaru

Our last MGL match ended as another win for SoLD, and it was a quick one. Again, our opponent was outnumbered. But their defense was organized well so though being a short game, it was a fun one.

vs. Chaos Allegiance in Thunder Keep

This was a real quickie. CA was underpowered, so it took SoLD only a few minutes to win.

vs. Angels of Wrath in Roarc Catacoms

Only two AoW members showed up for the match, so thez decided to forfeit and play a fun match instead.

vs. Apocalypse in Town of Sirama

The second game today with absolutely no attack on the SoLD shrine. At least the AP players fought at all (on their own territory for the most part). The SoLD offense kept invading their shrine and was continually kicked out again, the AP shrine went up and down...

As expected, SoLD won in the last minute.

vs. Alliance of Darkness in Cathedral of Light

Great job of the AD defense, that in fact consisted of all of their 7 players, to keep the SoLD team out of their shrine for most of the time. SoLD made it through with some people now and then, and got the counter down to 2 seconds twice.

This is the first game that SoLD ever played with NO defense players at all. Congratulations to AD, well deserved 2 points.

vs. TerrorSquad in Roarc Catacombs

Several attacks on both sides but no one could make it. Time fizzled out, and the inevitable draw came. A hard thought match, with not the result we wanted coming from it - but probably the right one.

vs. Plague in Cathedral of Light

A great game with several hard attacks on both shrines, but it ended up as a draw.

vs. Element X in Temple of Ramhotep

EX showed up with only 3 players. After a delay of 15 minutes the game started but it wouldn't last long.
We hope that EX will have a re-match with SoLD for this, after the MGL.

vs. Blue Circle in Thunder Keep

Nearly all BC chars defended the blue shrine for the first 20 minutes until some surprise attacks. During the next minutes both shrines were attacked several times, but SoLD's offense, lead by Abakus, managed to keep theirs down long enough when 22 minutes were left.

After their first loss, BC announced that they were leaving the MGL tourney.

vs. Bloody Limeys in Town of Sirama

It was a 90 seconds match. The Chaos portcullis was not walled so the SoLD offense went in there, took the shrine down and that was about it.

vs. Brotherhood of Wizards in Thunder Keep

With only 71 levels and 6 players, BoW was outnumbered. They gave SoLD a good fight though. But the game ended after 10 minutes of playing.

vs. Strike Force in Roarc Catacombs

We spent 50 minutes of the game in SF's shrine and kept the countdown running down to 5 seconds more than 10 times; however, eight SF clerics managed to restore their shrine quite quickly :p With two minutes left, SF started a last counterattack and the shrines went helter skelter.
In the end it was a lucky six-second win for SoLD, although the previous hour showed that SoLD deserved it.

vs. Guild of the Dragons in Cathedral of Light

GotD did never even come close to our shrine, our defense was working perfectly well. We invaded them several times but couldn't hold their shrine down long enough. With 6 defense characters, GotD wanted a draw and they got it. Ah and by the way, most of the 98 kills they got happened in their own shrine :o) After all we are proud that we finished the first and hardest MGL match with a draw, although we could have won with a little luck.
