Me too
...but the first turn is easily nullified if the opponent has dropped closer to a bonus or has good turn advantage on a quick elimination. And a great round of dice trumps them all. Just ask KORT about our city mogul game, where they had the first turn and the drop.
If you want to throw skill/experience into the mix. A great team might be able to overcome all three against a bunch of scrubs. But in a pretty even match, I pray for the dice above all.

Looking at the starts i would say we need it bad... some quick stats...
Tsm starts in 14 of 16 games IA starts in 2 of 16 games and 3 games havent started...
a small bonus was dropped in one quad game for the starting guy on TSM and in two of the starts tsm took 2 and 3 regions dropping 3 to start...
all signs point to a long set for IA

agreed, pretty much have to wait at least 3-4 rounds before making any assumptions. i say its going to be 10-9 final. not sure who yet.
IA leads us 1-0 so far. According to my count, there are about 8 other games in which one team has a significant lead, those are split evenly. So likely score will be 5-4 with IA still being up a game on us.
If you count Siege as an advantage to us, I think you must count the random trips game at Great Lakes as an advantage to you (both with escalating spoils to possibly turn things around). So maybe 7-5? And a lot of games up in the air still.

Can't speak for the Hive game, but CM never got going for us. The big maps often last a long time, but if you have a poor first round, then you're forever chasing uphill. The big stacks we built in the first round, never gained enough ground.

Pssh. I think this is a very close challenge. I think it will come down to a 10-9 challenge. The winner is undecided.
I agree. I tried to predict (bigger or smaller) advantages on this moment and it comes 10-9 for KORT, but really hard to be objective due to lot of fog, so probably someone may predict 10-9 for AOC or even 11-8 for AOC. it will be very interesting to see how it will end. also other semis are very hot.
it is really ton of fun being a part of semis, especially vs so classy opponents like AOC

It will undoubtedly be a really close finish. With so many escalating games left it's really hard to call it at the moment. In a couple more days the picture should be a lot clearer.
Whilst we went into this league feeling very positive about our chance of progressing, I don't think many of us would have expected to find ourselves in this situation. It's a testament to the hard work of the entire group that we have the privilege of enjoying a semi final with KORT.
Win or Lose, we've had a great time playing some top quality opposition.

I hope so bud, although I'll gladly take 10-9, the IA guys and gals are pretty good.
