After six weeks of increasingly violent action the tipping point is here; the culmination of all the fighting is upon us. We have four gladiators in our midst, each player has proven themselves on the field of combat, and are now pitted together in a gruelling best of five series that will offer a fantastic contest and thrilling viewing for all.

THE FINALISTS
Each of these four players represents one quadrant of the brackets.
Semi-final One
ES - Jesulin - (Seed #1)
CoH2's resident reigning champion, this guy has been dominant for over two years, playing in as many tournaments as possible and winning more than he's lost. In fact he won this tournament last year, he is truly a force of nature, and a feared adversary for any player. He path to the final was highlighted by an impromptu clash against last year's co-finalist Cataclaw in a direct rematch, where he was well tested by this veteran opponent.
The best game of that BO3 was cast here:

vs.
FI - ASSBAG - (Seed #7)
ASSBAG is the MVP of the tournament so far, if you haven't seen his epic series against SturmTigerGiap you need to. It was a fantastic series of games showcasing innovative strategies and incredible moments swinging momentum back and forth. These two very well matched top level opponents brought everything to the table, and it kept us guessing right until the end, highly recommended and required watching.
BO5 Series SturmTigerGiap vs. ASSBAG - Link to the playlist.
ASSBAG not only despatched Giap he also fought of stern competition from RtN.Lyconious as shown in Tightrope's excellent casts, if anyone can beat Jesulin right now it's ASSBAG!

Semi Final Two
NL - VonAsten - (Seed #6)
VonAsten has shown that he is ready to step up to the plate as a top level player, no longer just counting himself as a good automatch player, he wants to show he can perform on the main stage. What better way to to do that than knocking out Lunvest when he's down on the game, taking advantage of the German Behemoth's lack of motivation, VonAsten despatched what some would claim was a contender for number one seed in very impressive fashion. This guy is the tournament dark horse, and will pose a serious threat to Helping Hans.

vs.
JPbrits - HelpingHans - (Seed #4)
The English man currently hailing from the land of the rising sun is a CoH legend, he's been an ever present force in this community for years... what's missing? The big W. This man has competed in several tournaments to a high standard but has never quite exerted his dominance in the way he might have liked. He's looking to change all that, like the English national football team, this is his tournament, this is the big one, this is his chance to reign supreme and prove to those that seek to see him fail, that Hans is gonna help him self to a tournament win. It's coming home.
His path to the finals was highlighted by a nice strategical battle against RtN.Alexander who analysed his close call with the Hansy man, in this cast here:
