Game 5 Phaeril booted. He was busy over the weekend that the game was launched and regrets not activating vacation mode. Phae said, “This boot hurts my morale... I thought I had time on Monday morning at worst, but no.” Win #3 for Tornado.
Game 6 Timid land. Phaeril had no info on picks. Tornado had a strong start and left the challenger scrambling to recover. Phae eventually levelled the income, but Nado still had a huge lead in army count. Phae fixed this problem by activating a trap on T10. Tornado would activate his own trap on T12, taking the advantage once more. Nado used the army advantage to bridged over to Phae’s bonus, breaking it and distracting him in the West whilst flanking him from the East, slowly and methodically dismantling his position. A 20 turn thriller. Win #4 for Tornado.
Game 7 Georgia AC. I’m no expert, but it seems to me that Phae not covering an important double pick +4 and being forced to take Nado’s threatening spawn, allowed Nado to snowball his income and steamroll Phae from bother the East and the West. Win #5 for Tornado.
Game 8 Strat Greece. A short and sweet one. Nado gets his #1 pick stolen and then gets his next 5. Limited info causes him to fight ghosts, totally misplacing his armies. With less income, all spawned-in bonuses compromised, and a stack out of position, Nado threw a hail mary hoping that Phae didn’t attack him. Phae attacked him and broke his +4. Game over. Win #3 for Phaeril.
Game 9 Elitist Africa. Phae had a very strong start, but failed to capitalise and remove Tornado from the centre. Instead he decided to spread. Tornado used the extra time to take income, manoeuvre into a double border on Phae’s fragile maroon bonus. Nodo then makes an incredibly blod prediction that Phae won’t deploy a single troop to his 11 stack. And guess what? He was dead on! Nado full deploys and attacks the 11 with 18. BOOM!!! He bursts through Phae’s defences on the very first chance. Phae simply cannot recover and Nado rips apart his cluster from within. Win #6 for Tornado. That means…
TORNADO WINS THE TOUR FINALS!!!!!!
Tornado three-peats. Retaining the crown for the third year in a row. Long live the King of the World Tour!
