The WGTour Annual Clan Tournament has reached its last stage! And with the surprising victory of RoX over MYM we now see ToT vs RoX in the finals!
Looking at the brackets it looked like it would become a classic MYM vs ToT final, but as a huge upset, RoX was able to win 3-1 over the Danish led powerhouse. With only 14% of all minerals put on RoX, it caught most people completely unprepared.
However, if you look at the lineups brought by both teams, things start to make sense. MYM brought their own battle machine with players like IefNaij, Yayba and DinOt, a lineup that can beat the best. However, RoX lineup was nothing short of impressive. They brougth Dimaga, BRAT_OK, Advocate and Alf. Apart from Strelok and White-Ra this is as good it can get from Eastern Europe.

ToT had a more predictable path to the finals. Plowing through the clans St, Get- and Light there was really no clan that could stop them without a slight miracle. They won 4-0 over Light in the quarters (the 2v2 was not played), 4-1 vs Get- and 3-1 vs St. A fairly easy run for the Templars.
The match will be played this Sunday, the 18th, at 21.00 CET. It will be the in the classic format of four 1v1 and one 2v2 match. No doubt the Templars will be the favourites, but RoX has just proven to be one of the deadliest teams in the foreign scene. It is a cliché, but this can go either way and that is what makes Brood War so exciting! With RoX showing their teeth it will make the Brood War scene a little more exciting, and we can hope for some exciting games.
