BS looks in a great form, he has been improving statistically since the start of the tourney. But I wanted Mitoe to win in the semi finals, cuz he seemed to be practicing all day. The finals is going to be a close call imo. I represent to support BS _ OP. Good Luck to both of the finalists! @BlackStar_OP @lordraphael

Yeah wow talking over people like that is actually pretty rude.

Anyway I still think raph can pull it off, but I'm not as confident in him as I was in the beginning of the tourney. Should be a good match either way.

I think overall bsop might be a better player but it seems like he hasnt been practicing much you know.
And we all know hard work pays well.
So i think this will be a good series. (not one sided hopefully)

It seems based on watching the games so far that Blackstar has relied on his general game
knowledge and mechanical skill so far. He was able to get through most with those and then mitoe (sorry!) just made some bad mistakes or else he would have caused more problems. I don't expect to see Rafa make those mistakes. Since Rafa seems to have a better command on the metagame, I think he has a slight advantage here depending on the level of his opponents prep.

I think LordRaphael can surprise everyone again if he's practices again. Who expected a 5-1 vs Ryan? He practiced a lot the day before and was in perfect shape. I think he will win if he's fully practiced and up to date.

So Blackstar, you're warned! :D

The semi-finals casts will be up on YouTube this weekend (10th/11th) by the way.

I'm wondering why people consider raphael the underdog anyway. I haven't played in a long time so I don't really know what I'm talking about, but just from watching they seem pretty equal.

true, but I also think h2o lost his cool and let the rage take him over, and played far from his best. and basically forfeited the last game. But keeping your cool is a big part of playing rts games.
