Chapter 237: Separating the champions from the challengers
---<VICTORY>---
[Phoenix Rising: 7 points]
[Scarlet Rose: 4 points]
Scarlet Rose lost, knocked out of the playoff round in the semifinal.
It was one of the tightest and most exciting playoff semifinal in recent years. A game fielding some of the best players and Avatars in the league, and 2 distinct but well-refined strategies.
By resting for the 3 vs 3 battle rush, Gabriel got 20 or 25 minutes to rest his fingers, and prepare himself mentally for the team battle.
When it started, Dain Ironvalor exploded.
Last season, Phoenix Rising played a very tight Warstar RPG Champions League final against the same Scarlet Rose, the toughest final that they played in their dominant 4-season run, even tighter than when they played God Noah’s Cyber Squad.
It was not Dain Ironvalor who pushed his team to victory. He was stifled in that game. Rather, a substitute pushed Phoenix Rising to victory.
It was a pyric victory.
That game lingered in Gabriel’s mind for a long time, and tonight, he received the opportunity to avenge himself finally.
