While the CGO finals is being played out the remainder of the CGO ladder will be unlocked and free to continue challenging. At the end of the finals the entire ladder will reset back to 0-0 and season 2 will commence. Teams will retain there rankings on the ladder when the season closes out.

Grand Finals - Sunday 13th June 2010

We go deep with the core 4 of Australias Battlefield Bad Company Scene to see what makes them tick.

Well we've just past the halfway mark of the Conquest Champions League, with a few interesting matches, some blowouts and some teams folding. Thought I'd give my opinions and predictions on who the top two teams of each Group will be and how each team has been performing and the reasons behind some unexpected results.

Group 1:
For Valour - Well very strong off the mark were F-V smashing Delta Brotherhood former Grand Final opponent in Battlefield 2142, then going on to annihilate Requiem Gaming and the AEF: 10th. Apart from Team SideWinder you'd say only db and reQ were going to be any competition for both F-V and [tsw] and F-V have done away with these teams quite easily. For Valour toughest opponent comes in Round Six of the CCL against Team SideWinder and will determine who will finish 1st in Group 1.

Team SideWinder - [tsw] the only other real competitor in Group 1 at this stage and have unfortunately only had the chance to smash AEF: 10th with Executioners and Delta Brotherhood both forfeiting their match. I've been told my a member of the community who I don't wish to enclose that Team SideWinder's performance has dwindled considerably since the banning of the M2 Carl Gustav but that remains to be seen with their flawless record. The big test for Team SideWinder is For Valour in Round Six.

Requiem Gaming – Well reQ. can't be disappointed or overly happy with how they have performed in the CCL so far. Currently sitting on a 2 – 1 record with recent wins over the Delta Brotherhood and AEF: 10th has to be encouraging considering they've put no practise or effort into the competition so far, and have all been too busy playing Heroes of Newerth. ReQ should finish 3rd in the pool unless they can upset Team SideWinder in Round Seven of the CCL.

Delta Brotherhood – Unfortunately for Delta Brotherhood they lost too many key players at the start of their tournament, losing their main two captains BoB too Team Immunity and Sarin to ??? . With the likes of Bourne, Shaunicles showing no interest and thraSK departing at the end of Round Two to [carnage], Delta Brotherhood will probably not be the team that they were in Battlefield 2142. They're likely to finish 4th or 5th in their pool, depending on if they show up to the remaining matches.

Executioners – No idea who they are, but haven't showed up to a single match so doubt they'll be in the CCL much longer or will end up finishing last in Group 1.

AEF: 10th – For the AEF they probably faced their t...

Finally! yes Finally! the open ladder is open! remember to get familliar with the ruleset which can be found here:

Sunday challenges arent possible as that is CCL night but any other day of the week is open, try to avoid tuesday matches as thats EA maintenance day and all the servers go on the fritz :>

To start your matches get everyone into the server and on opposing sides ready yourselves and confirm the other team is ready, when both are ready someone type @ready into global chat and the match will go give. At half time take a break for a few mins then switch back to the same team you were on in round 1 confirm ready between both teams then @ready again.

Remember you are required to be able to provide either video or screenshot proof of the scores so have a means to record / screenshot running with one of your members. Screenshots are fine, but will only be valid if the score on the ticket counter is < 2 tickets.

Post match captains are to stay in the server and confirm the final score if you cannot agree on the score enter the scores as you felt they were and if proof submitted will be used to negotiate the scores.

Finally
GLHF :-)
