The playoff talks continue, as this week featured two unbelievable matches to determine our TWLD Finals. Did Fierce steamroll over Dice on their way to another LD finals, or did megaman89, Unabled and company find a way to exact revenge for Savanger?
And how about Sweet? Is it really their time to win it all, or did Thunder delay their date with destiny for another year?
All will be revealed below. Just to let you know ahead of time... no single round was decided by more than 9 kills.
Is reading boring? That's fine. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for a wall of text, either. Thankfully for you, I've recorded this week's Hot or Not, and you can listen to it... here: http://kiwi6.com/file/c6ah271539
Fierce vs. Dice (Round 1)
50 - 44
MVP: megaman89!
Our whirlwind, six round (!) writeup begins with Round 1 of Fierce vs. Dice, with Fierce netting a 6 point victory.
It was a pretty tight game up until about the 7 minute mark, actually, with a couple lead changes here and there. At this point, Fierce was clinging to a 1 kill lead, trying to shake Dice and, specifically, megaman (7-2 at this point) off of them. Fortunately for Dice, megaman really took off at this point. Unfortunately for them, however, it wasn't enough to propel them to a victory in this round, as Skepsis (10-5 at this point) finished his round with a 7-5 run which, combined with DEEZ NUTS and Geio, was enough to effectively counter megaman89's 19-10 round enough to secure them a victory. Congratulations to RaCka, by the way. This round, he joined a very exclusive club that myself, Ricko, Ease and Lasenza are in... The 0-6 club! Don't worry, bro, we'll throw a party in your honor. Fierce takes round 1 of this one. All according to plan for those who claimed they'd win it in 2. But I did say this was a 6 round writeup, didn't I? Which means... well, you'll see shortly.
Thunder vs. Sweet (Round 1)
41 - 50
MVP: Engineers!
There's another TWLD Semi-Finals game going on virtually at the same time as this one, so I figured I'd mix up my writeup a bit in an effort to... shake things up. Which I had been hoping these teams would do this season. While this round wasn't all that crazy in terms of individual scores, the fact is, despite the off-season additions made by Ease to boost Thunder's chances... well, Ease was the only one to put up double digit kills this round. Huh, how about that. This game started with Thunder taking a really quick lead of 6-4, followed by Sweet taking the lead back and never giving it up. A rough start for Geisha (3-8, finished 6-10) and some very effective teaming by Sweet gave them this victory. Engineers and Riverside were an effective combo, scoring 24 kills combined, while the rest of their team put up at least 8 a piece to seal the deal. Things are looking good for Sweet at this point, as Riverside is playing at another level, looking to make good on his statement that this is Sweet's year. But even the best laid plans of mice and men have roadbumps, and Thunder is not an easy one to get over.
Fierce vs. Dice (Round 2)
43 - 50
MVP: megaman89!
Forgive me if this Round 2 and the other Round 2 aren't quite as... well, detailed. Both of these games were offset roughly by a round or so, so as I was watching Round 1 of Thunder/Sweet, Round 2 of this was going on. Can't help that. Anyhow, Dice bounces back from a Round 1 loss and picks up a victory with help from Guero's ridiculous 10-3 sub. And without it, well, this game finishes remarkably differently than what actually happened. Fierce had control of this round for quite some time, as after 1:30, it was 11-4 in their favor. 3:30 in, 17-12. with DEEZ and Geio combining for 10-3 to lead the charge. 5:30 in, Fierce had a 9 point lead, and it looked grim... but something happened to spark a comeback... not something, someone. Guero. I popped back in at the 8 minute mark to see Fierce only ahead by 2, and Guero subbed in at 7-1. DEEZ and Geio had faltered hard from their great starts, finishing at 8-10 and 9-10 respectively, while Skepsis (10-7 at this point) had stepped into that role for Fierce. Some solid efforts from vys, Weak and megaman89, re-inspired by Guero's play, no doubt, led Dice to an excellent comeback, and a Round 2 victory. It's a whole new game for both sides now. Winner takes all.
Thunder vs. Sweet (Round 2)
50 - 47
MVP: B4sERmaN07_X!
The closest round of the LD semi-finals, and I missed it. I think I'm excused, though, with what was going on in the other game. I don't know precisely what happened in this one, but I imagine Ease lit one hell of a fire under his team's collective asses, as Geisha (B4sERman), Mythril and chuckle put up a combined 39 kills to lead Thunder to a slim Round 2 victory over Sweet. Not to say that Sweet just gave up without a fight, though, no sir. Dak, Engineers and Riverside combined for 37 kills themselves. The factor in this one lies with the performances of... the other guys. (dun dun DUNNNNN!) While Thunder played well enough to make up for Raspi's ineptitude in Round 2 (4-10), Jones, who was pretty much the hottest thing in the regular season, must be sitting in a bucket of ice or something, as his performance in the playoffs so far, and specifically, this round (3-10), is just... unpleasant. Riverside mentioned in the interview last week that they're out to prove they don't need Jones to break out every time for them to win, so maybe this is a part of that. Or maybe he's just lost something along the way and needs to find it again. Whatever the case, like in Fierce/Dice, it's a whole new ballgame, and one more win is all that matters now.
Fierce vs. Dice (Round 3)
42 - 50
MVP: megaman89!
The status quo? Consider it shattered. Dice did what nobody thought was possible, and that is topple the defending champs, winning Round 3 by 8 and punching their tickets to not only the TWLD Finals, but a chance to Triple Crown this and win every league! Simply amazing. And... (big shock) megaman89 picked up the MVP. His 3rd MVP of the LD semi-finals. Not to mention this guy had a stellar game in spider against Thunder in LB, and put up some good numbers in his LJ against Sweet, too. But more on that guy later... he does have a team, you know, and that team served him very well in this round. Dice took off out of the gate hot, with a lead that lasted them until vys lagged out at the 4 minute mark. It was a lead Fierce kept for a little while, and a few people were pretty much declaring this one to be over. 5 minutes in, and Fierce is up by 1, being led by Geio's 7-2 score at the moment. Not to be outdone, however, dice came back in, all guns blazing, and overtook the lead at around the 9 minute mark, and simply never looked back. That great score by Geio? He couldn't keep it up and got overwhelmed, finishing at 11-10. At around this point was when megaman secured his MVP by going on a 5-1 run, finishing the round with a 14-7 record and finishing the game with a combined 46 kills. It's simply unbelievable what that guy can pull off at times. I also want to note the great sub by a2m. He went neg, sure, but that wasn't the point... he went in with a mission: Get DEEZ out. Mission accomplished, man. As I said above, the victory means Dice punches their tickets to the LD Finals, and I'm quite happy to be wrong about them losing. Both interviews were done after Round 3 of Sweet/Thunder, so I'll put them both there as to avoid spoilers. Not like anyone reading this doesn't know the outcome already, but... I'll leave this much here.
megaman89> get shit on by me more
And I also leave a question to ask Fierce... Where was Apok?
Thunder vs. Sweet (Round 3)
46 - 50
MVP: Engineers!
The shattered status quo? How about... shattered and further broken into thousands of tiny pieces. Yeah. I won't try to hide my excitement for these guys. SWEET DID IT! What a time for the stars to come out and shine, as Riverside and Engineers combined for 30 kills on their own, with Engi picking up his 2nd MVP of the semis. They probably couldn't have done it without the ridiculous start they got off to, though. 3 minutes in, they were a combined 6-1. 4 minutes in, 9-1. 5 minutes in, 14-2. 6 minutes in, 19-7. That sort of performance netted them the victory today. Sure, saying so kinda craps on the rest of their team, but they didn't do a whole lot worth noting other than just fill in those last 20 kills. Jones went 9-8 and got back into the positive side of things, at least. Whatever fire Ease lit under his team didn't burn all that brightly in this one, as he and chuckle were the only people for Thunder who put up double digit kills. And, try as he might in both Round 1 and 3, Burnt wasn't able to put any sort of end-game strategy to use, as the teamwork of Jones, Riverside and Engineers couldn't be topped. The finals are set, ladies and gentlemen. Who would have thought it would be Dice taking on a team that almost didn't make the playoffs in Sweet? There were quite a few of those 'who would have thought' moments throughout the entire season, actually, and next week will be the final one...: Who would have thought that Dice/Sweet would win the TWLD Finals?

Hot of the Week: Megaman89!
How good is this guy? 3 MVPs in LD, plus some stellar play in 2 other leagues, and now Dice has a chance to Triple Crown TWL, something that, since TWL expanded to 3 leagues, hasn't been done. Incidentally, though, Dice won both LJ and LB back in Season 8, so maybe it's their year. Lots of people claiming that already, though...
Not of the Week: Thunder
It's not about individual or team performances whatsoever here. Heck, it's not even about losing LD... or LJ... or LB. It's about you losing all 3 of them. In the semi-finals. We're talking 1994 Seattle Supersonics bad in terms of choking here. This probably means my long awaited addition to the 'Banned from Thunder' list, but... damn, folks. Damn.

Hot of the Week: Megaman89!
How good is this guy? 3 MVPs in LD, plus some stellar play in 2 other leagues, and now Dice has a chance to Triple Crown TWL, something that, since TWL expanded to 3 leagues, hasn't been done. Incidentally, though, Dice won both LJ and LB back in Season 8, so maybe it's their year. Lots of people claiming that already, though...
Not of the Week: Thunder
It's not about individual or team performances whatsoever here. Heck, it's not even about losing LD... or LJ... or LB. It's about you losing all 3 of them. In the semi-finals. We're talking 1994 Seattle Supersonics bad in terms of choking here. This probably means my long awaited addition to the 'Banned from Thunder' list, but... damn, folks. Damn.
