  • In a resume-material performance, Bonz was easily the winner in the clash with Memphis. - 66m from 18 to 84.

  • In an epic battle, Robertio did very well against Membling. - 82m from 0 to 82.
  • Neither having much reason to brag, Mobbs was slightly more polished than gouki88. - 12m from 61 to 73.

  • In a solid performance, SaintBilly won the bout with nahnah. - 44m from 22 to 66.

  • Neither having much reason to brag, gouki88 and The Cryptkeeper were well-matched - there was no victor. - 49m from 9 to 58.

Wow, what a game. Mostly nailbiter. Kindah hard to fathom we've now won so many in a row, and we're in a GF.

Congrats to the Royals for making it this far and going out with a massive fight. Congrats to the Ophidian Old Boys for a stellar second-season thus far and potential for more.

Next week we play the [redacted - some people wanna wait to watch the replay] and what a game it should be!

I'm gonna run off and grab some pizza from down the street.

Thanks Dingster for commentating, philreich for almost commentating, and to everyone who helps me to smile by enjoying this old game, and tolerates me out of pity.
