I decided its harder to write a HOT or NOT for games in this format, so I'm just going to make it a recap.

I "hosted" the Underground vs. Ez or Wut game so we might as well start there since I got to watch all 3 of the games. In the first round, Ez or Wut more or less controlled the whole game. Ease (10-10) got a few deaths early and was forced to stay outside-ish base and snipe in on 9. He managed to get a few kills, but the rest of his team was "running from Creature's bullets...not even bombs, bullets." All of Ez or Wut's players went positive, but Dreamwin (12-10) earned the MVP and Zizzo (11-6) turned in the best rec. In the next round, Underground recovered a bit, especially Ease (16-9) who took over the game and refused to let his team go down around him. Zidane (13-7) has had a stellar season and was also very good, which was convenient because Turban (7-10, 5-10) and Struck (5-10, 6-10) were not for the 2nd straight game. Zizzo (16-10) once again had the best rec for Ez or Wut, while dreamwin (3-10) went from MVP to the doghouse. In the deciding game, Underground was just the superior team. Turban (14-7) finally turned himself around and the rest of the team was positive or better. It should be noted that Ease switched in I.D. at the start of the 2nd round and his team sailed much smoother after that. Sakke struggled most for Ez or Wut in the last round (3-10 with a TK)
The other semi-final went much more quickly. Similarly to the other game, the captain of the winning team MVP'd the first round as Draft (14-10) took Ruby's business into his own hands, while M_M God (4-10) struggled to do the same for Candy King. Also, Jamal (10-6) proved once again that he is a pretty good 3-league player, while Burnt (8-10) could not quite prove the same. In the 2nd game, Draft benched himself, but his replacement Cape (18-8) simply went to town on Candy King. He scored 4 of the last 5 kills by himself to seal the deal for Ruby and all of his teammates went positive. M_M God replaced himself with Minotar/Phyre (2-5/1-5). Fludd (2-10) was the most disappointing player in the arena, since you expect your higher drafted players to come through when your team needs them.
MVP- No idea who to give this to, but decided that I had to give it to Ease for being the only player in the tougher match to go even or better in all 3 rounds. In addition he carried his team in the 2nd round.
Honorable Mention- Cape, Draft, Zidane, Zizzo
LVP- Decided this was a tie between the players in each match who cost their team the win most: Sakke and Fludd
Dishonorable Mention-M_M God, Minotar/PhyRe, Burnt
