Lukasz, They are not newcomers. See KGS Annual championship ranking, for example. Nomitan and DolBaram have KGS rank 3d and 5d, resp. in blitz games. #DolBaram registered last UEC Cup but didn't come to the venue :D
The reason Zen lost against Nomitan was, as far as I've studied, just a hard luck. A major evidence is that the losing moves played at the venue were repeated in very few probabilities at my site where almost all conditions are the same (only the connection from my laptop to the main computer of the clsuter is different, ie, via Internet or lan). #So far, Zen often lost territory and built thickness in early stages and revesed in hte middle. However, rivals are quickly getting stronger while top two are almost standing :-( these a few years, it's also getting harder to reverse. Additionally, Nomitan plays slower (compared to others, such as Aya) but steadily, reversing is much harder and the lost territory (bottom left in attached sgf) is bigger than usuall. Very hard luck.
