I know there are a lot of religious folks who find themselves uncomfortable with same-sex match-ups, especially as a tournament final, but if there was ever a good PvP series to watch, this would be it!

Fold (As JungEunji) has been a fan-favorite to win since day 1, and has definitely lived up to the expectations so far, especially with a convincing 3-1 win over

drshrinker, who was previously undefeated in the league. Not only did Fold stop drshrinker's mad science from destroying all of BroodWar, but he did it after drshrinker got to B- on the ladder, and he made it look almost easy.

Breach, Hungary's all-race player, stands in Fold's way to gold, but has not had quite such a difficult run as Fold, and has dropped at least one game in every series. Don't get me wrong though - Breach's play has been very strong and has been able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Tune in this Sunday to find out who will win the 130-dollar first prize and the 60-dollar second!

What will be considered bm:

- "Sit your five-dollar ass down before I make change!"

What is NOT bm:

As a rule of thumb, be respectful, be courteous, and be nice. It's okay to have emotions and it's okay to get angry, especially when you fail at something you wanted to win, but don't take it out on the people in the tournament. Try not to stress out over little things, and stay focused on having fun and improving.

5. When you have lost your game, say "gg" and gtfo
6. If your dog starts talking to you and saying how you should quit drugs, you should quit drugs.
7. All matches that are unplayable due to lag will be decided at the tournament staff's discretion.

10. All games must be played on iCCup Launcher, with LAN LAT: ON.
11. Any third-party programs that alter gameplay in any manner are strictly prohibited with the exception of iCCup Launcher. Hacking is prohibited and will result in a ban from ALL future tournaments.
12. All complaints in-channel must come with a screen capture with the /time command. Failure to do so could potentially result in your complaint being denied, although certain exceptions may be made if there is an individual exhibiting a repeated antagonist behavior.
13. The rules can change at any time, for any reason, sometimes randomly, and for no apparent reason, because there is no justice in this world.
14. If it is discovered that you are above the maximum points for qualification in this tournament, you will be disqualified.
15. Your match requires more cowbell.
16. You may not play your matches using your toes unless you are missing both arms.

I would like to say a very special thanks to a few people who made this possible. First, thank you to everyone who played in the tournament and continues to play StarCraft. Sponsors and fans don't make the community work, you do! Thanks to everyone who tuned in to watch the tour, and please do tune in to watch the final, it's going to be great! It makes me happy that you enjoy this event so much, because I couldn't ask for anything more! Thank you to He Who Shall Not Be Named, and Sluggaslamoo for creating a cool prize pool.

Special thanks to Pucca for his commitment (He spent his own money to make a layout for the tour!) to StarCraft: BroodWar and seeing this whole thing through. Thanks to L_Master and BMW as well. Please enjoy the finals, everyone!
