Final 4 Results + The Championship
https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/s2-championship-submissions-thread
Here we go! We've made it to the Championship! The Final 4 wasn't exactly dramatic, as one match was essentially won by default, but it was still fun to watch it unfold. Who survived the Final 4? Who are our Season 2 finalists? Who will be crowned our second ever BlogChampion? Let's see the results...
@DonRajesh was first to advance to the finals with this fantastic post (maybe the best thumbnail I've seen this season?). Unfortunately, his opponent @NiTheGuy was unable to post on time due to some problems relating to his computer... *cough* use your phone *cough* I dunno all the exact details but ultimately he was unable to post a blog, resulting in victory for @DonRajesh. Reminder: Don had to beat @DanielGuel just to get to the Final 4 - if anybody says he doesn't deserve a spot in the finals, I'm concerned for their sanity and general well-being.
Now on the other side of the bracket, things get more interesting as we saw top seed @alphaous clash with @GMForgacs - personally, I had a tough time judging this. I felt like it was quite a close matchup, and the person who got my vote barely got it. Regardless. despite wonderful posts by @alphaous and by @GMForgacs, it was ultimately alpha who emerged victorious here! GMForgac's remarkable run has unfortunately come to an end, but expect top blogger status for him in the near future if he keeps at it... as for alpha, he has an exciting clash awaiting him in the Championship 👀
So this means top seed @alphaous will face top blogger @DonRajesh in the championship to determine who will be our second ever BlogChampion. Based on seeding, alpha is the apparent favorite.... oh but Don is the top blogger here.... oh but many believe alpha should be top blogger... wait, who is the favorite here?! People, people. View this however you want - in the end, it doesn't matter who is favored before the battle, it only matters who is still standing when all is said and done. Who will it be? Return in two weeks to find out - alpha and Don have two weeks, until March 23 at 10 PM CST, to write, post, and submit a new blog. This should be a good one, folks. Can't wait to see what happens. Good luck, and happy blogging!
