At this point my vote would count for little, but I'll go with Typhus in this one. Why? I can see his team beating Silver Adaptoid and he fought a hard battle to the very end, and I see it pretty much as PG did: Terrax is not going down that fast.

I vote like this in part because I believe that the vote count should reflect how close is this battle, that I can see Typhus team winning and that the thing he lacked the most to control this fight was something he has no control about: His character feats. Typhus team is very capable and dangerous, but its a thing hard to prove.

However, I think that Typhus could have done a better work, with his prep time along with his arguments. Darth's debate in the other hand was flawless, and I think thats why he deserves the win in the tourney, from my point of view it was easier to go with the team of four against one character, but Darth defended it very well and turned what could have been an uphill battle into the opposite. Also he is an integral debater and answered all my questions very well, which in my book is something more worthy of a congratulation than winning itself.

All in all, I still vote for Typhus, he still did a great job, and I'm sure he will be more prepared for future tournaments.

I know some people were waiting for my final rebuttal, but I was unable to devote serious time to the debate today, and I think it would be a disservice to the battle if I pulled a last minute not fully thought out defense. Sorry if it's anticlimactic, but I said what I can.

Anyway, thanks, everyone - hope you enjoyed the match. And well played, Darth.

Jate akaanir. Good fight.

both competitors were great, the herald showdown didn't disappoint.

but isn't past due for darthgoober's naming as the champion?

Well, I wanted to make sure that if people still wanted to share their opinion on the battle, that they had a chance to get it on record while the battle thread was still up.

Congratulations darth ! That was some of the best debating all threw out the tourney I've seen around here in a while.. I especially enjoyed your match with Digi. Happy to see you bringing the title back to team headquarters.. 😉

I am officially ending this match, both competitors did a great job, and it could have gone either way. Thank you to everyone who voted in this tournament and contributed to make this tournament a success.

Well done Goober and Typhus.
