Sebastien wins Game 1 with a timely Border Ambush, overwhelming the Lion defenses.
Laurent, after some long back and forth Honor/Dishonor game (1 hour), wins Game 1 through Dishonor.

Laurent gets a gold screw while Reda goes into military mode again. Phoenix makes it to the finals.

CB vs PX is our final match!
