Everybody...its
Finals time.
I would like to thank Dawnbuster for participating in the invitational, and his prize money will be sent to him shortly. I would also like to congratulate our two final players in what in my eyes has been a wonderful invitational. It is a bittersweet ending for me in particular, but at the end of the day I am looking forward for this finals matchup.
Note: because this is a double elimination tournament, there will need to be 2 sets to occur between the winners bracket winner, and the losers bracket winner.
Without further ado, I would like to introduce our two finalists!
MrSoup: Our Winner's Bracket leader is definitely no stranger when it comes to finals appearances, not just for GSC NU, but across Smogon as a whole. He was a finalist in Siatam's GSC OU Invitational, has won the last 2 years of the GSC Open until this year, where he placed second. He won the most recent GSC NU Cup and was also a finalist in the NU Classic (no team preview). Soup has had many accomplishments that even include SV Rands, is an SPL caliber player having started for the Bigs last year, and has been definitively head and shoulders above his competition in this tournament thus far.
Shengineer: An NU powerhouse, with having a high level of experience from SV to GSC, Shengineer is also no stranger to the main stage. He has had a multitude of great performances, across many generations as well, ranging from LTWC, NUCL, NUPL, and even is starting for the Terrors this year in SCL. Shen is known for a high level of play as well as being a magnet for innovation within metagames, and it is no secret that he likes to push the bounds even in the highest stages. After getting knocked down to the Loser's bracket relatively early, he managed to work his way to a top 2 finish right after beating the very player who sent him there.
Everyone, I am excited for this last round of gameplay we are about to see, and I am ready to commence the final week of this Invitational.
