I had voted for Fading warriors, they are strong, Instead of Thinker or Ruffian,Crafty should have been used and it would have yield an interesting battle, with well balanced team on both sides.But still I was also curious as to how the rising star engines do now after updates,against the old strong engines.

Were these engines in both the team chosen by 1 organizer or as a group?

Overall,Interesting match.

Regards.

I selected the teams.
Twisted Logic 20070915 has just replaced Twisted Logic 0.099x, so hopefully that should help balance things up a little more.
