2/4 and now its just 2 matches. And holy moly its all top 4 seed playing against each other
(1) chemcoop vs (4) Kiby
While Kiby has the better ladder results recently I am a chemcoop believer and we are cooping with chemcoop till the end. 3-1
(2) zaaya vs (3) greilmercenary9
Mish showed that even God can bleed so we are making playas with Zaaya till the end and prevent game 5 greil. 3-1
APMS SHOWDOWN THE DREAM FINALS
Good luck to all gamers!

Oh man, this other set is a doozy. For those unaware of the history behind this set, this marks the third consecutive invites in which greil and zaaya are set to throw down, with greil having narrowly escaped the previous matchups with the winds of RNG in his favor both times. The stakes? Never higher. Greil is looking to earn a chance at becoming the only player to win multiple BSS Invites, while zaaya seeks to overcome his semi-finals stumbling block and take his shot at making the BSS Hall of Fame.
So, how does this week's matchup shake up compared to previous years? Zaaya is coming into this set in top-tier form after a successful run of circuit tours and managing a strong Series 9 Gen 8 core in BSPL, while greil has mostly stuck to cart laddering and avoided tons of tour activity this year. Still, greil is an extremely talented player, and has the ability to make some magic happen even while out of tournament practice, so this one is going to be down to the wire. Ultimately it's gonna come down to who wants it more and who can avoid bad luck. I don't see zaaya's poor Invites luck extending to a 3rd straight year, so I'm giving him the slight edge here: zaaya vs greilmercenary9, 3-2

Sorry guys unfortunately your last predictor standing (me) cannot predict the finals of this match. THE APM SHOWDOWN FINALS DREAM MATCH came to reality and I am happy for both as this meant a gurantee APM Ribbon 2021 I am hoping for a 3-2 banger for either down to the wire style.
Regardless the result you both are the winners for me!
GLHF BOTH OF YOU MAY THE BEST MAN WIN
LETS COOP WITH CHEMCOOP
LETS MAKE PLAYAS WITH ZAAYA
strong finish to my best year yet; ggs to zaaya, I'm putting my money on you to win it next year for sure.

congrats on the gold brotha. I know you wanted it just as bad as me/anybody, and you earned it 100%
definitely not as floored as I was the past two invi's, you simply had me and it's an infinitely better feeling than getting haxed out lol, breaking my ceilings in circuit/invi is something I can def be happy about at least, I'm glad it was chemcoop I lost to
Idk if I can take another year of the stress that comes with this game but we'll just have to see, big shoutouts to Mishimono and twincell for the practice games, and zeefable and Aldrich for all the support
