forever is on a bed of roses. Comfortably, he steamrolled over all of his opponents; which puts him as the Winner Bracket winner in the Grand Final.
GaRpY, on the other hand, will have to defeat forever in two best-of-five matches to be the winner of this cup. The Dutch man only needs to win one bo5.
forever did defeat GaRpY in the 3rd round of the upper bracket. The strong current shape of the Dutch player makes him the clear favourite to win this final game. Since GaRpY will have to defeat forever in two bo5 matches, forever only needs one bo5. With that advantage, the young Dutch star should not be too much worried. Even if GaRpY has been a DM player for years (with HL, PK and Q4) and competed in some of the most prestigious events, I'm sure he knows that it will be a very hard match.
Needless to say, it is in fact the British player who considerably improved over the past couple of weeks. It raises one question and one question only. Will GaRpy finally be able to step it up and take a grand title for his team Alltherage? Anyway, we are now sure that the English man can play with his very own gear, which delayed this EuroCup final at first. However, I'm very sure that he improved a lot since the last time he played against forever (which was about 2 months ago). So let's hope that Gareth can give a tough battle to Ivo or he will drown on the first bo5!
