22:44 Due to inet failure live updates are not that live anymore. During my random lag West won supply (snoop fragger+dmg) and North set up 3:45 time on Adlernest.
22:47 North secures Adlernest and match moves up onto goldrush. Fragger and dmg goes to Squall.
22:55 12:21 time set by South on goldrush in Grand Final. Will this be the final act or will we move up to decider?

23:09 And same score in other game! South managed to stand their ground and held West back. Fragger for XyLoS, dmg for razz. North vs East decider is supply, South vs West decider is adlernest. Will those be final acts?
23:18 4:35 time set by South! Prepare for last round in this exciting final.
23:23 AND THAT'S IT! AMAZING HOLD BY SOUTH! SOUTH WINS ET ALLSTARS 2011!
23:24 At the same time North set time of 10:43. Final act coming up in other match.
