Semifinal Recap

Montoya

Andrew easily dispatches Dan 146-96, eliminating Dan from Markinson contention. Dan will come back next year still seeking his first champions league bid.

Gina is also eliminated from Markinson contention after losing to Scott 94-107.

Scott now faces Andrew in the finals, and a win will keep his perfect Markinson streak intact. A win by Andrew gets me back into Markinson. Nothing personal, Scott, but go Proper Villains!

Dufresne

Dean knocks out Amer 123-84, ensuring that Amer will miss Markinson for the first time since he has joined the league.

Nalu takes out Russell 143-133, but because of Amer's loss, Russell earns his first ever Markinson bid! Welcome to the big show, Russell!

The Dufresne Markinson lineup is now set for next season: Dean, Nalu, Russell, Drew.

Nalu now gets another shot at Dean for a trophy, after falling agonizingly short in the regular season finale. Two games in a month, both for a trophy... they've proven they are the clear top two of Dufresne this season. A budding rivalry, perhaps?

Both Dean and Andrew are trying to match Amer's singular feat - winning a League Championship and League Cup in the same season. Actually, Amer is still the only one to win both in a career. I hope he can't still say that after this weekeend.

Good luck to Andrew, Dean, and Nalu! :P
