Season 14 Finals

For The Win [8-3] vs Dead Strokes [7-4]

Best line up:
For the Win: Ant, Dante, Jeremy, Simon, Stephen

Dead Strokes: Ashton, Luis, Luis, Omar, Rees

How they got here:
For the Win: 5-2 over Break and Run

Dead Strokes: 5-0 over Straight Shots

Season match-up: For The Win 5-4. Ashton went 3-1, Stephen went 3-0.

The drama associated with the finalists:
For the Win: Ant plays more than once.

Dead Strokes: No one else made it because they recruited everyone.


What it will come down to: Danielle needs her boys to show up, more than just Ant as well. Players like Stephen need to show, and be on their game if they look to take this series. Both sides won their respective conferences, so this mini season will alleviate some pressure the face from a one-and-done series, but both sides had poor streaks during the season, and if either team thinks the finals will be as easy as the semis, they'll need to think again.

Dead Strokes will no doubt be firing on all cylinders with their big guns showing as they have all season. Players like Ashton, Luis, Luis and Omar will have to be on form and shrug off the pressure they face against more established interleague veterans. In a best of 3, consistency is key and with such talented rosters, not caring one night might seal the fate of the entire week. Both teams will no doubt have 1-2 players that no one wants to face, so it'll be up to other players to step up and be that third who plays to not be beat, and help their team bring home the gold.

Prediction:
Match 1: 5-4 DS

Match 2: 5-3 FTW

Match 3: 5-3 FTW
