-- clanwars news wire -- Night fell on the plains of no map selected as clans OtL and [Ace] marched off the field. The quiet was in stark contrast to the war that was waged earlier in the day leaving ExP|Apmn, boss of losing clan [Ace] searching for answers as to what went wrong for his men.


"The battle field was destroyed; there were clans retreating back to their base while others literally were running over them to get out into the field. There was a lot to gain today if you fought well, there also was a lot to lose if you didn’t." said ExP|Apmn obviously still contemplating the outcome and visibly upset over the defeat. Over at camp OtL the revelery lasted long into the night, "We didn't come here to lose I'll tell you that much right now. They can have the Cup when they pry it from my cold dead hands." said Zer0^sKiLL` who saw his clan go out and grab 312 big points to leave themselves positioned at #8.

"When things got quiet that’s what was the most un-nerving…you knew it was coming because everyone was regrouping and no one was giving up today." said ruigeruub of the losing clan, "our effort was there, but... well there are no buts". Both clans fought hard and were deserving of a win, but in the end only one can come out victorious. For OtL this could be a sprinboard to the coveted clanwars cup. At press time there were 0 days left in the tournament. For complete match details go here 204267

 -- clanwars news wire -- "It was brutal out there" said Ecthelion, "we just couldn't stop the onslaught. But, we'll be back". The fallout continued today well after FARM walked off of no map selected with a decisive victory over #1 ranked Eol.


"There are times when a man needs to take a good look in the mirror. Today I did that and I liked what I saw. When others were losing their heads’ out there today I stayed calm and as a group we pushed ahead. That’s what separates the men from the boys." said cbats boss of the winning clan. Other members of FARM were seen celebrating back at camp and counting the 422 points they tallied that moved them into the #8 slot on the ladder. With 1 days left in the tourney there isn't idle time...the men of Eol were already planning a counter attack, hoping these two heavyweights will square of again soon.

"Death is not the end my friend, it is just the beginning. If you have enough courage to face us on the field then you will die like the rest." said one of FARM's unknown warriors, when pressed to reveal his identity the warrior who was heading off into the night yelled back "they'll know who I am next time they dare cross us again."
