This weekend's FSL tournament in Poland will have ended as it started, with a formidably efficient John Deere team taking full advantage of Trelleborg's absence.
Intense. As in every tournament, this is the word that best sums up the atmosphere that reigned this WE at the Poznan Game Arena for this 5th edition of the Farming Simulator League.
Change in the client
Shortly before the tournament, an update of the FSL client, the 1.3, saw the light of day, bringing 2 important corrections: the AGCO IDEAL thresher saw its working speed increase from 9 to 12 km / h, and the press Krone, undoubtedly the most used, sees his balls better discharged.
Two teams are looking for points
The tone is set from the first game with the John Deere team exceeding 800 points against Landeier in the quarterfinals. Komatsu also stands out with a score of 768 points against Lindner. In the semifinals, the noose tightened between John Deere who once again came close to 800 points and Komatsu who this time greatly exceeded them (817) against Krone. The final promised to be tight.
The fault is bad luck
The final was played over 3 matches, the first won by JD, the second by Komatsu. For the decisive match, the tension was palpable until the 10th minute of play. Things turned sour for the forestry equipment manufacturer with a ball stuck in the top of the conveyor for more than 30 seconds at a time when the teams normally send. as many balls as possible in the barn. John Deere will take the opportunity to regain the advantage, final score 742 to 666. The Greens are placed 2nd in the general classification of the tournament with 250 points, ahead of Krone (220) and behind Trelleborg (360).
