NHLGamers,
Only the four best Finnish players remain and tonight we will be able to watch them battle it out and crown the new champion! Will Arttu @Artuzio Mustila renew his title or will a dark horse emerge as the new champion?
Here are the semifinals matchups:
(1) Roope @pikkuroger Bergström vs. (11) Aaro @xDoumi Ruuhinen
(5) Arttu @Artuzio Mustila vs. (10) Niklas @NikkeDangles Tukiainen
We asked the defending Finnish champion Artuzio and xDoumi for their thoughts about upcoming final tournament:
"I'm going to Friday's final tournament in a good mood and my goal is to take the second consecutive Finnish championship. The level of players in Finland is incredibly high, so winning on Friday will require perfect execution from me. It would be nice to have pikkuroger as the final opponent; I played the most memorable matches of my career against him in last year’s FCL quarterfinals, where I had a comeback from several goals behind and eventually went all the way to win the championship. I know pikkuroger's game has evolved since last year, so it would be great to fight in the finals and see again where we stand today." -Artuzio
"It’s great to participate in the semifinals, I'm currently playing at a good level and it's nice to play for the championship after a long time. I was actually 0-2 down in my quarterfinal series against @Eki, but when we went to game 3 I started to understand better how Eki plays and I was able to turn the series around." -xDoumi
