There will be a rematch in the future, if that results in a tie as well the stats from both games will be put together and the team will the best kill death ratio and most intel touches will be the victor to move up in the brackets and face head to head with The Bastion.

Servers spotlight!

Server spotlights are for servers that have great moderation, maps, gameplay, or something else that separates it from the others. Don't be afraid if your server is not picked just try and improve and maybe you will get it next time.

Stormwind clan servers hosted by: Cowie
This week's featured sever is the stormwind servers. The stormwind CTF servers features a lot of great maps and has a unique script which is the revive script. The script revives team mates that are killed by Tea bagging them. You can get health from the enemy team mates by tea bagging them as well. The server is also mostly hacker free and usually always has an admin or moderator on. Good job to the stormwind clan and its staff for having great servers. Play "-@Sw Stormwind Clan CTF Server-" here: [aos]aos://2654540078:32887[/aos]

Maps

Golf v1.1 by: Influx
Golf by Influx is a very large map based off the Battlefield Bad Company 2 mission "Par for the Course" which features a fight on a golf course. The map has a lot of hedges and trees as well as small water hazards in the north and south sides of the map. In the south side you also have the store where you pay to play the course which makes a great choke point. A very detailed map that is great for TDM,TOW, and CTF. Good job Influx! Click here to download the map.

Old Villa by: lelue
Old villa is quite a unique map. It has two versions; one with giant ants and one without. This is a big island map similar to isle of war but there are a lot of differences that I like. First off there is a lot of terrain. This makes it so that it's not a complete sniper fest like Isle of war. There is also a choke point, the house in the middle of the map. The house is very detailed too which you don't normally see in most maps. Lelue is becoming a great mapper. The map is good for TOW and TDM but other gamemode might work as well such as King of the Hill. Click here to download it.

YouTube


Grandy (TheGrandmaster, TGm) has made some videos of game-play and match videos from the Build and Shoot League Season 1. He also has made some videos before Jagex took over which was normal game-plays and clan matches. Grandy's YouTube account - http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0_SzH9QMXPteJyVgHan6xA
Example of one of his videos (Semi finals match)
Another youtuber with Build and Shoot videos is GamingFTW. GamingFTW has a series of videos even with other games, he also had videos before Jagex took over which were some tutorials which could come in handy and also clan matches.
