In memoriam of Chapman.
We must begin with sad news. During the course of the tournament, Chapman died of cancer at a much too young age. The entire admin team, and I think I can speak here on behalf of the rest of the community as well, would like to express their deepest condolences to all family members and his team Fallen Pride. We wish you much strength and hopefully soon more beautiful days. Let us never forget how precious life is and how much our community can mean in the life of the individual.

Just like to hijack the post a bit to give a bit of info and say about Chapman,
He was diagnosed roughly half a year ago with Leukemia, as far as we were aware at the time he was doing well through chemotherapy but sadly he died on the 8th of April in hospital surrounded by his loved ones after complications. I'm sure he'd be extremely embarassed by all the attention he's getting, he was always a shy guy! He was a part of our little group of friends called Sanguine for almost 8 years, we played lots of different games together but warband was always our main one. I made sure that we got in contact with his family, spoke to his mum and dad and also showed them all of the messages of good will which were put on his steam profile by all of his online friends. 10 of us (almost all of our small group of friends) managed to get down to his funeral on the 25th of April and say our final goodbyes, his mum was very pleased we could make it as were we, and his family was astounded by the amount of online support he got.
So i'd like to thank the WNL team for posting a little memorium to him, he meant a lot to us and to see how much he meant to others also is just proof to how much of a great guy he was to be around and how great a life he led.
I'll be sure to show any messages to his family and if anyone would like to donate we've been told that donations kindly made would go to CLIC Sargent, Macmillan & the Churchill Hospital.
Thanks a lot
Kloney & The Sanguine boys
Congratulations & Thank Yous
Now the irrelevant part of this post, allow me to thank a couple of people who've helped make this tournament happen. As tradition commands though, let us first congratulate our winners.
Next up, congratulations and commiserations to Unity. You guys have yet again played a fantastic tournament. You fell short at the end, but you should be proud of the consistently strong performances you have shown throughout.
Finally, congratulations to Knights of Malta who have played a fantastic tournament as well. You have been around the block for quite some time, yet still make further progress with each and every tournament you play. Keep going guys, you are definitely headed in the right direction.
Aeronwen said:We have a James the 1st situation here… Congratulations to House Tully on their first ever tournament win! And to Tully’s core players from AE who have their 6th WNL gold. Teamwork, skill and consistency over many years of playing and winning tournaments have led once again to a well deserved gold medal.

First of all, many thanks to my colleagues Aeronwen and Deacon. I am sure I speak for the whole community when I say that I am extremely grateful for everything you have done and continue to do for our scene. It was once again a joy and honor to work with you. Many thanks also to Charlini who helped us with the initial setup of the tournament.
Next up thanks to all our referees this season who invested their time in order to ensure matches are played out as smoothly as possible. This season we've been lucky enough to get some new teams on board, I know that your work has made their start into competitive Warband much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you to Achaner, huN, Kane, Kiano, LastShadow, Surkan and LastShadow. A special thanks to our new referee Wardo who oversaw 13 matches and our new head of referees Rome, who has supervised an incredible 33 matches this season.
Thank you also to our generous server sponsors BulleZ, Cheshire Cats Clan and LordMetzger. Without you, tournaments such as the Warband Native League simply wouldn't be possible. You were always approachable and took a lot of time to help us with even the smallest questions. Thanks a lot for that!
Then there are those who provided us with livestreams for our pleasure during the duration of the tournament. Thanks you to Apfel, the entire team behind BladeCast_TV, Fietta, Greedalicious, Janczar and The_Cardboard_Box as well as their co-casters Aeronwen, Gibby, Kane, Pixelated Apollo and Vincent. Thanks also to Apfel, Apollo, Barischa, Ciiges, Herishey and Phillus who shared their PoV recordings with us.
Next up, there are a few more individuals that need to be thanked also. Thank you to our community manager Callum and TaleWorlds for providing us with the new tournament logo and most importantly the prizes. Many thanks to yami_pirate and Harman, who once again provided us with their fantastic statistics, which this season have even been the decisive criterion for the awarding of the prizes. Thanks a lot to DatFrog! for his stunningly beautiful player awards and prize icons. Thank you to Oliveran for providing us with the module and the admin-by-ID-system. Thank you to captainlust and Erminas whom we owe the fixture generation tool to, thanks to BulleZ and Vincent who ran the betting corner, and also thanks to Matt for spreading the word about the tournament on Mercenaries!
Many thanks to everyone who posted suggestions and feedback and shared their ideas about the tournament with us, helping us to constantly improve and develop it further.
And last but not least, I want to thank every team, every single player that participated. We hope you all had a good time playing in the tournament.
Apologies to anyone I may have missed out.
