November Playoffs: Upset With No Upset?

After struggling through November's regular season to obtain the minimum fourteen games, stay at .500 and hold fourth place coming into the playoffs, and beating the favorite DR in his first playoff match on Monday, it appeared that the momentum would carry BB through the third round of the playoffs against LW to reach the finals. Many were calling for an upset against the number two seed, who once held first place for two weeks during the regular season but faltered during the last week and a half of the regular season and moved down to second. But just as BB used paper to beat DR yesterday, he fell on his own sword today losing three to five, his first three throws losing with paper. When asked about his defeat he could only look down and yell, "[Expletive]!" LW was quiety excited. "I don't even know what to say really," he told reporters, "I played a good game. I gave it 110% and I hope I can just continue it into the next round." This is LW's first playoff win and an opportune one; he now only faces one of three opponents in the championship game.
