Highlight Match: Clash of Titans

Now there were MANY good matches to view in this particular tournament. Especially going back over them, my favorite was the match Pavarotty (username on hive TBD) and Hive account@hive-102040 . Now as one can surmise he who plays first has a slight advantage, but that advantage was PRESSED in this match. Every trade was a net loss for 102040 this time around. Masterfully played from both of them a truly fun match to behold (and the only match 102040 lost in this series).
