Recap written by Cute
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.
As this event has a healthy prize pool, the rules for subs will be spelled our clearly. Only in the event of a player not being able to make it, to prevent a walkover all teams are entitled to make a maximum of ONE substitution using a player in their National Team lineup. This player must be:
Of the same race as the player substituted
Not playing in another match on that day
Other substitutions may be allowed but that will be at the opposing teams managers discretion and he is not obliged to make any concessions
Loser Picks map from this maps pool and you cannot play the same map twice.

Just to let you know those Aus players in that lineup are wrong and are from a dated lineup that I sent to jump, the most recent one was actually this:
EDIT: swapped tgun for Azz as that was the lineup I sent, I couldn't check the exact lineup on PM cos that account is tempbanned and I was going from memory.

thats bullshit lol, That line up is so different from what was posted in the OP. U get to see NZ's complete line up and change it in the end? Really funny how u get to see what NZ players are playing on what maps and u decide to tell everyone that its the wrong lineup?lol. Why would jump make such a mistake as to not release the line ups without u confirming that it was the wrong players u picked in the first place? unbelievable.
I really hope what you just posted is not included. Really unfair takes away the credibility of this tournament.
Its too late to change ur line up deL you're the one to blame. You should contacted jump and made sure he had ur updated lineup before the matchups were released.

I will try find chatlogs with the players dated before the thursday for lineups to show I didn't just make them up now after seeing the NZ lineup.
That lineup was posted monday before I talked to the players just as a default lineup that I would confirm later after we knew the match time, etc. in an effort to save a bit of time.
Anyway here is where I talked to tgun about playing and him confirming, he's not in the lineup submitted on monday and the chat logs are from tuesday and wednesday:
And more, notifying jump I sent an updated lineup on the same day I confirmed with tgun once we found out the time for the match:
I think this is proof enough for you Nuri that you can see tgun was in the lineup (the other players I have on Bnet or teamspeak where no chat logs are recorded) but isn't in the one above and I hope you can realise I am not lying to get some unfair advantage, but what else would I do if an old lineup for the team was posted?

The fact you think aus would cheat to gain an advantage in a sure win is pretty hilarious
A sure win? Jaz, Masters and Kowi are all exception players (im sure the other two are very good but I dont know much about them) to say NZ is is a walkover is completely misguided. and Yes moving around 4/5 match ups (including 2 player changes) Nuri has every right to question the situation before been given the information Del has provided us with since.
