So yeah, these are the semifinals. Last week were the quarters, but after naming the thread I couldn't change it...
Anyway, on to the real semis! Congrats the final four - not surprisingly 3 of the 4 remaining contenders are rocking lots of av7, so I'll be looking for more carnage this week. Please schedule your matches here by 23.59 GMT Wednesday, 11 July, and play your matches by 23.59GMT on Monday, 16 July.
-----------------------------------------------------
2 deaths in the semis, both in the same match. But the counter goes on - only 3 matches remaining to hit 30. Grandfather Bones is skeptical we can meet his goal of 30. Do better, scum!
Death Counter: 27
The matchups:
1 Guardian's of the GroveIP (WOE) v 2 Elemental Unity (PRO)
Nightwind v Wenteros
Yay, elf on elf action. Never gets old... The good news? This is guaranteed to be the last all-elf tilt of the season. The bad news? The final is guaranteed to feature elves. So exciting... "We understand, you're jealous," sympathizes Guardian catcher Endgaliel. "But not everyone is good enough to be an elf. In fact, almost no one is. And not every elf is good enough to be a wood elf. But we are. If you think about it, this title is simply our birthright. But we're happy to allow some other team to have 2nd place." How magnanimous. "Oh really?" scoffs Unity catcher Time. "Birthright, is it? They can just keep thinking that. You see, those are some entitles hippies over there, just prancing their way through the season. Blessed with skills, sure. But we put in the work, won't catch us prancing when we should be practicing. Those fools are going to lose." Sounds to us like this will be quite the chippy match - we're starting to look forward to seeing some elf blood spilled.
bubs v DocOz
It looks like we'll be treated to a straight-up rumble on the other side of the bracket, lots of meat pillars who love to shout battle cries and smash things. The best part of it all is there's not an elf in sight, but we do have those dang bikinis... "Look at dose guys," laughs Machine blitzer Petrov. "Dey think dey're mean and tough. Grrrr!! Hahaha! Soooo skeeery. I almost don' wanna smash em, wanna take 'em home for my kids to play wit." It seems orcs have peculiar notions regarding what makes a toy. "Heh, we're used to that nonsense," sighs Cannon runner Grimr. "Dunno if you're aware, but orcs are dumb. Like, real dumb. They think if it ain't big and green, it can't hurt 'em. Well, those guys over there are gonna learn better. And it's gonna be so fun teaching 'em." At this point we don't even care who wins this one - we just want to see them beat each other up. Get your popcorn!

4 teams left now, and I'm not handicapping the field. I hope you took my advice and bet against the rats last week, though - those guys stink. Now get to killin'!
