FischerRandomChess where are you? :)
gbtami he is too scared to play lol
Pawn_Street_Blues Who will win
htt49 he'll berserk if he wants to
htt49 this is the shield so if not berserking will get him the shield, then he shouldn't berserk
Maartenols GG @Shahmat
FischerRandomChess Even I don't get a berserk answer, not like you.
Maartenols Dennis losing
Aeterny Go Visual! I know you can win this!
GL_HordeWarrior visual has 97% chance of winning the shield
GL_HordeWarrior because the defender cant catch the score of the 1st placer
FischerRandomChess 97% is too low :D
GL_HordeWarrior only 12 mins left on the clock
gbtami Dennis winning
GL_HordeWarrior now 100% he will get the shield because he wins :)
FischerRandomChess not 100%, sorry
Maartenols Number #1 lost
Maartenols Dennis lost
GL_HordeWarrior congrats dennis for the shield!
gbtami it is not over
FischerRandomChess Dennis don't relax
GL_HordeWarrior its over because the defender drew the game
GL_HordeWarrior his streak shuts down
gbtami ahh true
Aeterny Yup, he lost the shield.
gbtami dennis for president! :)
