We are here today to watch an exciting match between Flamestrike and Deadfox, two ASB veterans! Who will win, well you know as much as I!
On the left side we have Flamestrike and his team seemingly focused on the Sandstorm weather! Will his strategy work out! Or maybe he'll have a strategy no one other than him could anticipate!
