SNF5 Season Premiere Broadcast

The fighters are weighed-in; the box office is sold-out; fight fans around the world, from Jakarta to Jerusalem and from Moscow, Russia to Moscow, Texas, are on their feet for the much-anticipated return of the greatest competition in the greatest real-time strategy series ever made. This Sunday, November 3rd at 7PM GMT, COH2.ORG is proud to present, in cooperation with Relic Entertainment, SEGA, and Alienware, the premiere episode of Sunday Night Fights Season 5!

The #SNF5 First Quali Tourney is in full-swing as the top seed, and current SNF belt-holder, DevM, clobbered his way through the competition, emerging undefeated at the end of Saturday. DevM eliminated Youareswine to secure his position. Facing the champ in tomorrow's match-up is VindicareX, who earned his spot after crushing EXPERTSVonIvan two-to-nil in convincing fashion. Both DevM and VindicareX are on unbroken winning streaks, but that's all about to change.

In an astounding upset, 15th seeded Cruzz knocked out the #2 seed, Siberian, in a vicious three game series on Langreskaya. He's going to have little time to catch his breath, however. Tomorrow will see Cruzz versus OMGPOP!, who survived a similarly rough-and-tumble 2-1 series against Tsubaki Yayoi. Both Cruzz and OMGPOP! are bruised, but they are determined to topple their opponent and move on to the bright lights of Round 5.

DanielD and Twister, brothers in arms and winners of the SNF COH2 Beta 2v2 Tourney, went head-to-head. Neither DanielD nor Twister had given up a game, but the time had come for one to fall. On the fields of Langreskaya, DanielD squeeked by with a 2-1 victory. He will be facing xHoLyHammerx, who was the victor in a grudge match against Crave.Cataclaw, that didn't even see a second game. Talk about an early knock-out punch!

AndyisRIPPIN showed why he is at the top of the Ostheer 1v1 ladder by making it to Round 4 after sending *general.GIAP* home with a bloody nose and a few loose molars. Facing off against AndyisRIPPIN will be none other than his clanmate and the #3 seed, BartonPL. BartonPL gave up a game in Round 2 to Raz, but shook it off and came back in style to win that series and the successive series against tough opponent Jesulin.

All of these fighters are hungry for a spot in the SNF limelight. They are hitting the showers, bandaging their wounds, pressing steaks on their bruises, and getting some well-deserved rest before putting the gloves back on for Round 4 and Round 5 of the First Quali Tourney on Sunday night. The winners will move on to fight next week, November 10th, in Contender Bout #1. Vote your picks here!
