Round 1 is currently halfway over, while 1 more game shall decide the 3rd matchup. As for the final matchup, there is still 3 active games, though they're making their way to a close.

Once Zabeast and Unai prove just how much better they are then I, I will send the first semi-final matchup. Hopefully yours will be later this weekend.

[Adolfo18]

Thanks!

2nd set of semi's just went out; 1st set at Round 3.

Now taking bets on how many rounds it takes for TheJonah to screw it up.

[Kotaro]

Congratulations to the finalists! They have earned a spot in the final tournament, and both teams will receive their premium time at the conclusion of their best of 3!

Good game and well played to Zabeast & Unai for taking first. Hard fought games to the end.

Shoop76 and *Pixar* fought hard as well, coming only a few territories short of claiming the top spot.

Updated bracket will be edited in when I get home tonight, as well as prizes distributed. Both teams have also secured their direct invite to the main event, grand prize pending.
