Hello everybody. Today we go deep into the matchup of Solar Fires and Dragonstorm. This includes pre and post-interviews, as well as analysis and a hopefully a few interesting questions for feedback in the forums.
Also, Brian took out a Gigadrowse, which I think is very important to him in surviving this matchup.
What do you think?
Join me tomorrow when we tackle the Top 2!
