Summer of Love: The Final Stretch
October 12, 2008
Well, folks, here we are.
It’s been a long run, many games. Predictable victories hand in hand with upsets.
A whole bunch of people won door prizes along the way, and truth be told there’s more to go yet, but I’m saving those to be handed out with the grand prize announcement.
And now, we’re down to just two decks, competing to win the title and take home the crown.
From the Orchid Division of the Corsage Conference, Kamiza’s Family of One stomped on Green Weakness, sank the boot into HK KO, and lured Stranger Danger into a dark alley before beating the snot out of it, before sapping the speed out of Warp Factor 9 to take the conference title.
From the Bouttoniere Division’s Calla Lily Conference, Kansashoop’s Adamantium Skrullmate proved that the Secret Invasion really is happening as it carved up the Claw Society, locked the Box Full of Evil, psychoanalysed Looney Bin and finally clipped the wings of the New Birds to cinch their conference crown.
We now enter the final week of betting, where participants will be expected to decide a lot more than simply who they think will win the match. Spud will be posting the details at VSRealms shortly…
Not only do we have a week full of wild speculation to look forward to, amidst all the MEV previews and hullabaloo, but you really have to wonder just what we’re going to do to follow up on the precedent set by our outstanding, award-winning March Madness video finale*…
* Alright, I admit it, the video didn’t actually win any awards… but you know as well as I do that it SHOULD have dammit!
