Round Details
Round 20 marked the introduction of the Eitraides race, which utilised combinations of ships similar to those belonging to all the other races, as opposed to a single identifying feature itself. This round also saw the reintroduction of the in-cluster attacking travel-time bonus.
Round Summary
Round 20 was the first in nine rounds to be played without both 1up and eXilition, who announced they would not be playing the next round after their second victory in a row in round 19. Two new alliances, Destiny, with a solid core of ex-Insomnia players, and Conspiracy Theory, with a strong 1up vibe amongst its players and HC, started up prior to the round and were viewed as likely contenders based on the strength of their memberbases. The other main contender for this round was Vengeance, who were joined by the gosu BG for this round. Most DLR players, along with a few others, tagged up as h3ll's angels this round, in tribute to their friend who had passed away in October of that year.
