Round 5 of Pick-League XI's division 1 has brought us anything but what we wanted.

The community might not even know that Round 5 was ever played, or worse, was to be played. So here it is how it went:
Originally, six matches were intented to be played in this round, but since
SK-Gaming dropped the DotA team weeks ago, it meant a default for their opponent in this round -
Xeo Divine.
The most anticipated match of the round was
diamondZ e.V. against
Kingsurf International, which introduced the fashion in which this round would be played - without anyone but players of both involved teams knowing, the match was played, with Ks.Int racking the fifth straight victory and dmZ kneeling for the first time this season. The teams however, did not leave much of a trace behind. There is no replay to be seen and not even Ks.Int's assistant manager
Milo knows anything about. Not much after that, in fact a day or so,
Ravens decided to quickly solve the matters with
PGS. Whether the victory was easy or hard we probably will not know, but whatever being the case, Polish clan remains winless in this season and Ravens have yet to lose. At this rate of losing, PGS's only victory will apparently be against SK - a default one.
A ray of hope
Then, luckily, we were blessed with a stream, replay, draft information and even a shoutcast (!) of the
IGG against
eSuba. Not much of a matchup you say, but it surely better than none. In fact, the shoutcast for this match is probably the best in this round, for a simple reason - it being the only one. All good things apparently last only a little while though, as BTB faced
djooks in a similar fashion as dmZ did Ks.Int, but at least they left a replay behind, even if the mode was -AP, rather than -CM.
Last and this time also the least, was
srs versus
wicked, where it even appeared that the game might be played, despite wicked dropping its DotA team recently. Any hopes about this had to die as a default win for srs was announced.
The summary of the round: four matches, two default wins, two three replays and one stream.
Ravens triumph again
The sixth round already started with a disaster, as again, the most expected match, Ravens versus diamondZ e.V. couldn't be watched, this time thanks to the stream problems. To make the matters worse, the game was reloaded, so no replay was left behind. That aside, the Danes won their sixth straight match, this time helped by ex-wicked's player and captain,
Moods. He has been spotted on IRC wearing the Ravens's tag and this match is probably one last unofficial confirmation that Moods is joining the Danish ranks permanently.
As is now customary, SK's absence grants another free win, this time to srs, which have climbed up all the way to the fifth spot on the standings, tying with diamondZ. We probably shouldn't expect much more from wicked either and another Ks.Int's victory is imminent in any case.
Despite the djooks's latest slumping, the gap between them and PGS is still too big, so sixth straight victory for the ex-MYM is inevitable as well.
Other matches will not be of the top calibre, but at least we can expect them to be some sort of close ones. Back to Basics will battle for important points against eSuba, while IGG will be hunting for its first win against Xeo Divine, which has so far shown a much better form.

Let all this not sound out as though I am angry at teams not being able to schedule the game in advance, so they could be streamed and community could watch. As far as I know, pla<x>yers cannot really live off playing DotA so their real-life obligations still have a priority over the DotA matches, however painful it is to miss a bunch of promising games.

Imo you should write the clan tag bolt only when you mention it first time in teh artcile. After that you can miss it :P
Nice read. Not swearing on internet? It's against my religion.

Good job guys - snatching the 6th straight win. How about going for 1st place instead of 2nd and 3rd, just for once? ;)
