Singapore vs Malaysia started off week two of the Neolution Nation Wars. EveJaff started the night on a high for the Singaporean squad, beating greenwood 2-0 on Xel’Naga Caverns. Malaysia were quick to even the score however as Nirvana, being the kind person he is, decided that both teams deserve to win a game. Not sharing the same mindset as their team mate, SG zerg players Revenant and ice quickly dispatched oneplus and ryper (2-0 in both games) before Renson forfeited the final game, leaving the final score at 4:1 Singapore’s way.
After a few short delays, China and Thailand played off in a series that went down to the very last game. Indy took the first game for Team Thailand, before Va.YHY and iG.CoMM reclaimed the lead for China. A walkover proceeded to even the series up for a second time. An ace match between Tyloo.Uhen and Strafe went 2-1 to Uhen giving China their second win, and leaving Malaysia currently winless.
A clash spanning the Tasman Sea was the theme for the week’s third match. As Australia and New Zealand like to compete at pretty much anything, be it Starcraft, drinking games or sheering sheep, things were bound to get interesting fast.
Australia got off to a flying start, and never really slowed down. Tgun, Azz and Rossi all took down their opponents (Haze, Kowi and Master, respectively) without dropping a single game. It was not until the fourth match when New Zealand’s JazBas finally claimed a win for their side, edging out Edge (lame, I know) 2-1. Unfortunately for the New Zealand side, they had already lost the match at this point. In the final game, Light defeated Another 2-0, giving Australia their first win in this season’s Nation Wars.
Although Australia was indeed the favorite, the final results were surprisingly one sided (contrary to what some Australian players will tell you, only dropping a total of two games was, in fact, a surprise)
A protoss heavy team from Taiwan proved to be to strong for the zerg heavy Philippines. Blazing through the four sets while only dropping a single game, Taiwan looked nearly unstoppable until EnDerr managed to shut down Bai 2-0, putting the Philippines on the board. But it was too little, too late for the island nation.
