You are all monsters! You eliminated the best character ever.

I've been called worse. And by my own mother.

Beleg-Boromir-Gandalf-Turin

The final four are all awesome. A Boromir-Gandalf clash would be great, as we could argue who had the better approach to the Ring. But a Beleg-Turin deathmatch would be great as well- friends forced to do battle.

Or perhaps a cross-age championship? Silmarillion versus LotR? Fun, fun, fun.

Beleg-Boromir is intriguing, but Gandalf has
to be a humongous favorite and with Gollum and
Frodo gone it's doubtful the final is really competitive.

As they say in sports (like the ncaa basketball
tournament) it's all a matter of matchups.

Beleg is Middle Earth's Davidson! And Boromir is Xavier!

Semifinal 1:
Boromir enters this bout as the strong favourite against Beleg Strongbow, the real surprise-package of the tournament. Can the great archer cause an upset once again?

Boromir vs. Beleg


Deadline is set at 12.00 Am tomorrow board-time.
