The biggest favorites to win were Tona and Zooz, and also Tunga, Marius 89 and pranksta were placed high in the most predictions. 

Map 1 | Coast

On the first map of the final there were many surprising rounds. Zooz won the first round, but began failing the start soon after that, and lost many points to Tona and other team Dunno's members.The race was tight between the top drivers, but also behind the top. After coast, the top 1 was Tona with 213 points. Tona's lead was safe, as the next drivers pranksta and Marius had 148 and 145 points. Zooz was only 7th with 85 points, which was a little shock to him.The last place was held by Arkone with 39 points.

Map 2 | Rally

Rally was tight battle between the top, for driver fighting for places 12-16 it was very crashy. Arkone was at his best and gained a way more points than drivers in fron of him gaining the 10th place. Wormi was totally lost on this environment, and got only 15 points  more which dropped him as last with 60 points. Worm wasn't the only failer though, because also Elco lost many points on this environment and dropped from 8th slot to 14th. The winners were Zooz, who rose to the 3rd place having 276 points.

After island, Darkhawk had 138 points and Vins was now only 7 behind him. Sadly pranksta disconnedted during the map, which caused him to lost some points. Nevertheless he recovered well and won the round after rejoining.

Map 4 | Stadium

On stadium everybody awaited DFF drivers Lolita and wormi perform well. However, wormi's mild eye sore made concentrating between the ghosts really hard, and he crashed almost all rounds. Lolita did a bit better, but didn't manage to beat Tunga, Marius and Zooz, who surprisingly was the best driver on this map, and overtook Tona in points having stylish 666 points after stadium. Tona as second had 613, while Marius overtook pranksta rising his point catch up to 556. Tunga had 433 and Red Shreder 425 points after stadium, while wormi got the 14th place with 178 points causing Darkhawk and Vins to have the last two places.

Lolita and Zepset had a great fight for place 7, and after 10 rounds on snow Lolita had 440 points and Zepset just 2 less.Darkhawk performed really well, and managed to take his 13th slot back with 240 points.

Marius and pranksta had a nice fight for 3drd place, but Marius managed to keep it with 785 points while pranksta had 770 points. Wormi continued with his bad regu, and even the good rounds didn't help him to keep his place, and he dropped as last with 246 points.

Map 7 | Desert

Personally I am very disappoint of course, I could have fighter for slots 12-14 for sure with time to train and healthy eyes :D But big GG to Zooz, nice recover after coast! Also GG to Tona, nice performance on first 3 maps especially!

The map order was really hard for me as the worst kb envis came first aswell as my worst envi stad. That way, people could get a heavy amount of points and it was clear that i couldn't do more than 10th or 11th place during the last few maps. I'm still happy with my performance as there was not much i could've done better.

GG All! Really big fun to drive and i pushed my fame through this haha :D

meh, how could you say zepset was at his home when I totally pwned his ass in bay, also I started my comeback on snow, where I was always right behind zooz, while he was doing WR's I was driving dedi 3 and so. Also I didn't really expect the DFF guys to score that good in stad, fu wormi

It's my point of view. I took my data from the point differences after maps, and it's clear that Zepset gained more points compared to his performance on other envis on bay than you compared to other envis. I never said he got mroe points than you. Also, even though you really did snow well, you didn't reduce the gap as much as you did on desert. Should I really have told every little dirty detail of each round? And many guys did except me to drive a lot better on stadium, even myself, but I failed it. C'mon mate, you saw me training it with you before this eye sore :D

I know, I was just messing with you. Truth is, you and lolita weren't really the ones we all expected to drive stad godlike, you guys were ok, but heh, and good luck with that sore eye, didn't know about that !
#6 by wormi on 2013-09-05 at 20:25
Of course not to win rounds, but make top 5 could have been realistic with more train and proper conditions :) Lolita did well though, I failed so hard :D
#7 by Tona on 2013-09-05 at 21:39
I agree Tunga, you rly powned Zepset on bay. 160 points for him, 151 for you, what a domination !

GG all, it was a really nice fight, and GG to zooz it's a deserved victory !
