Well since freaking ENCE wrecked OpTic they will be the opponent in the final match. Everything points out that NRG should win this, they are very hyped and came to this tournament to take it. Russia versus United States, well this will be interesting to watch :)

Very tough game and my bet will go to Vega Squadron to take at least one map; i thing the home court will give them the necessary boost.

Good luck to all who bet, and don't forget to gamble responsibly!
