Excuse me…there’s a certain scene in The Princess Bride I need to go re-watch…
And there was one seat left…
It’s all come down to this - there’s one spot left in the Final Four, and the EC/SteveGrondin match is tied up 3-3. There’s a lot riding on this Game 7… so let’s see what happened!
It was decided quickly - it only took one throw…
(See how I keep that theme going? Pretty smooth, eh? )

P StevGrondin
… and the last Regional Titleholder has fallen! SteveGrondin advances to the Final Four!!!

Gg zeke! Seems like matches are shorter than past years’. Happy to be on the winning end of it, though.
Thank you very much kind sir. My nemesis has been defeated.
GG, skyman!
And thanks for running those whole shindig, UA!
GG! Thanks for the matches!
Good game Steve. Good luck the rest of the way!
All 4 Bracket Title-holders made it to the Elite 8, and none managed to defend our title.
Welcome to the Final Four!!
And we’ve now officially made it to the Final Four!
Let’s give a round of applause to those who made it to the Final Four!

From this point out my intention is to give an update any time we have a completed match, so we’ll (hopefully) have a little more action as we enter the final rounds of the tournament.
Stay tuned, and keep cheering on these competitors!

Ahh, let’s see, where’s that scouting report on old Hoffman…
Here is it. Dumb as a rock, flimsy as paper, dull as kindergarten scissors.
Let’s go!
Final Four is officially underway!
And we have our first game in already!
skysn93 takes the early lead on soyleche… not a bad way to start at all, I’d say!

That’s exactly the strategy that’s worked so far.
… wait, you’re on to me, aren’t you.
.. and just like that soyleche ties it back up - I think we see where this match is going!
Meanwhile, Ted_Hoffman is still pondering, pacing, and waiting to pounce… so beware!

I’m torn who to root for. I like Steve and Ted took my region name from me, but if Ted takes it all, I can say that I was only defeated by the champion. Hmm…
Hmm, maybe I can help you to choose to root for. Loser.
… and now everyone’s on the board! No s needed for this round!
I’d say that was a pretty good way to end the opening day of the Final Four!
Stay tuned to see these RPS masters in action!

A little jfg svatar action snd it’s even up.
I don’t know if we can have matches that are any closer than this!
Within two games everyone had already won a game, and now 3 games in everyone has been in the lead at least once! You can’t get any more competitive than that!
Stay tuned - the tension will only keep building from here!!

Yeah, a little misdirection and Ted falls for it, again. Now over to signal chat with Pete to secure the plans.
Classic see-saw battles!
