With the winner’s bracket final played, we can now tell you one of the teams going into the grand final! With a best of 7 needing to be played, we sure got some incredible games. Before I reveal the winner, let’s recap the incredible match between TyRanT B and VNS B.
TyRanT B (vs) VNS B
I’ve sat here for a few minutes trying to figure out a way to sum up this match for you all to read. I just can’t do it. These were some of the most impressive games of the tournament. Some great team work from both teams allowed them to get this far, but TyRanT B was able to take the set 4-1 advancing to the Grand Final. There were so many amazing moments in this set, check them out below.
The opening game of the match everyone except Yellow went for a Drush against their opponent, snaring TheViper and bacgioifro in a drush war. Jordan managed to catch Yellow of guard killing of two of his villagers. TheViper was out numbered but with some good micro was able to even it up. bacgioifro drops a forward tower on TheViper and both of VNS B wall in. bacgioifro hits Imperial and begins his elite eagle flood, luckily Jordan_23 has already got long swords out. and with some help from TheViper is able to push it back giving TyRanT B the opening they needed to take the game.
Game 2 opens with TheViper drushing and Jordan_23 putting down a forward tower on bacgioifro’s wood. From here everyone walls in and the game slows down. Some good play from Jordan_23 gets TyRanT B into the base of bacgioifro. While TheViper is over at bacgioifro’s base Yellow throws down a forward siege workshop and demolishes TheViper’s base. With some help from Jordan_23 TheViper is able to push the attack back and with the damage done to bacgioifro in the early game TyRanT are able to take the game leaving this 2-0.
With the set so in favour of TyRanT B the pressure was on VNS B. In this game something I never thought I would see happen, Jordan_23 stole a boar. This should give you an indicator on how serious these games are now. bacgioifro then pushes forward with a tower forcing Jordan_23 to make a defensive tower while Yellow walls in. Everyone hits castle an begins to boom. Yellow hits Imperial and starts to push TheViper however it is defend by Hussars. Jordan_23 is able to push into bacgioifro’s base with trebuchets and mamelukes while TheViper pushes back the front of Yellow forcing VNS B to give in.
With TyRanT B one game away from making it to the finals, VNS B needed to take the gloves off, and that’s what they did in a spectacular fourth game. bacgioifro and Yellow both wall in at the start of the game and gives VNS B the chance to do one of the things they do best, boom. With some amazing cavalry archer play from bacgioifro he is able to take downs TheVipers army giving Yellow time to move into camel mangudai. With a forward castle and great push by Yellow he is able to get into Jordan_23’s eco. With a combined push from bacgioifro and Yellow they are able to obliterate TyRanT B’s army and take the match after an insane Imperial Age war.
If TyRanT B took one more game, they would be going to the finals. This game did not go easily to either team, and with the map double Arabia we have an insane game! Jordan_23 goes for triple stable play while TheViper walls in. Everyone hits castle and Jordan_23’s knight camel push wrecks bacgioifro. Everyone booms up for a bit then TheVIper hits Imperial Age and switches into paladin siege ram while Jordan_23 begins to finish off bacgioifro. From here the game goes fairly quickly to TyRanT B. I am pleased to announce the first team making it to the grand finals is TyRanT B after a 4-1 win against VNS B!
