SNF5 Fourth Quali Tourney and Broadcast

With only days left in 2013, players around the world know that it's time to put their training to the ultimate test. It's time to separate the truly great from the mere mortals. Fight fans are packing in to the Yoink Memorial Stadium at COH2.ORG Plaza to cheer on in maniacal blood-lust as gladiators from all corners of the globe tear each other limb from limb for one final chance at glory and the chance to be crowned champion. Friends, compatriots, fight fans, it's Sunday night and it's time to fight!

This is the veteran player's one remaining chance to prove that when says he's the greatest there ever was, it's more than just talk. He may have succumbed 3-1 to OMGPOP! in Contender Bout #3, but even with his back to the wall, BartonPL never cracks! Will he join his clanmates AndyisRIPPIN and VonIvan in the Semis? We really hope he does! MVGame

"Is he crazy?" they ask, when watching VindicareX pull off one madcap strategy after the next, "or is he crazy like a fox?" We at SNF defy you to find a player who can pull in so many wins with so many wildly different playstyles. He burst onto the SNF radar during the First Quali Tourney and has been wowing fight fans ever since.

Feel-Memory-Acceptance has been splitting the wigs of so-called "pro players" since the opening hours of the beta. "Aggression, adaptation, determination, creativity, and luck" are the fundamental elements of COH2 and, like Sartre flying a Sturmovik, Feel-Memory-Acceptance is dropping bombs and knowledge in equal proportion. Here is a nugget, in his own inimitable words:Show Spoiler

The history of Sunday Night Fights is full of surprises and jaw-dropping upsets, such as James "OnCe_Ov3R" Dickson's elimination of SNF's very own Marcus2389 in the Third Quali Tourney. Fighting for the United Kingdom, OnCe_Ov3R is out to prove that his successes were no flukes and that whoever steps in the ring with him this weekend is in for a no-holds-barred beatdown.

The Spanish Slayer, the Conquistador of COH2, Jesulin is a top ladder player, the holder of the #1 spot in the ESL European COH2 League, and has been a strong contender in every SNF Quali Tourney this season. Jesulin has been laid low with the flu recently, but he's been cleared for competition by SNF staff doctors. On his medical chart they've added, "nerves of steel, heart of a champion!"
