Congratulations abygorb!

• [player]abygorb[/player], a Captain who, interestingly, is the only finalist whose current nation of residence corresponds with the division he qualified from: Mexico. Will the forces of nationalism and pride lead him to victory?
  
• The second North American qualifier is [player]Splatsmash[/player], who began fighting on the frigid Greenland map. After only 500 games, he's already a major and is seeking his second tournament title.
  
• Our South American League qualifer is Colonel [player]SirSebstar[/player], earning a spot from the Central America division. He boasts the highest number of tournament victories and most number of medals: 18 tournaments won and a total of 70 medals!
  
• The first of our three finalists emerging from the largest league, Europe, is [player]xman5151[/player], who has the second most number of tournament victories (6). He's also joined the most number of my tournaments (props for that )
  
• [player]Dukasaur[/player], one of the leading members of the Entertainment team for the CC Newsletter, has earned a spot from the Italy division. If his risk-taking is as skillful as his writing (as it surely may be) then he's a strong candidate for the title!
  
• Major [player]Flow520[/player] (after only 179 games! ) has qualified from the Luxembourg division, and has taken risk-taking to the next level; in 2010 he took part in the real-life risk-taking 2010 Annual Risk Classic in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, as an Official Conquer Club Flag-bearer.
  
• The finalist most familiar with the workings of the World Cup of Risk and the Final is [player]co-co[/player]. Nearly one year ago,[player]co-co[/player] triumphed in the 2010 World Cup of Risk, qualifying from the SAME division as last year (Egypt: Lower). Can he manage to pull off a repeat victory in a tougher field of opponents!?
  
• Finally, qualifying from the Japan division of the Asian League, is Colonel [player]Stickse[/player], who has the highest score of all 8 finalists (2616) as well as the highest winning percentage of all 8 finalists (57%!). Yet he has only played 126 games and has to yet to win a tournament! Is he the top dog in the race for the tournament victory?

I guess home field advantage won out over all other factors...
