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.

++Boromir, who exhibits all the characteristics of a flawed hero of a Greek tragedy.
