Midkemdil map.

that map is, strange and hard to see. but if thats where they stick me.

[lancehoch]

Rallyraider, it is a strange map, however it went along with the theme. All of the regional maps (Midkemdil, Middle Earth, Tamriel, and Draknor) are fantasy/sci fi worlds.

[lancehoch]

Upset Alert:
#8 North Carolina State Wolfpack (reahma) upset #1 (2nd overall) Duke Blue Devils(Hath)

Irony anyone?

Congrats reahma, your next opponent will be the winner of Hoosiers21 and shaneramma. This will be played on the Middle Earth map.

[Rallyraider]
