(1) GUARD ME MAYBE vs (2) SPAGHETTI RAMEN
| Team Analysis | Team | Score | Team | Team Analysis |
| Last night’s win over DYN was big, it meant that Guard Me Maybe, a largely unproved team to this point, showed they could beat a veteran team that largely controlled the game up until the final minutes. Spaghetti Ramen, however, will be no easier. They are deeper, younger than DYN, and carry as much veteran savvy. But all that means is that GMM will have to play with same “no back down” mentality they have had all season. If they can be as patient as they were last night, and keep their composure against what is certainly a more infuriating SPR team than DYN, they can win this. |  MWW 6-2 |
55-54 |
 SPR 5-3 |
Par for the course, one of those two storied TDL franchises in last night’s semis, Spaghetti Ramen or NYC Gritty Committee was going to play for the title. You had to know that when the season began. SPR got the better of NGC last night and earned the right to be here. They have the pedigree, they have the tools they need in arguably the best player in this game with (G) Leuis Ng, and the best individual defender in (F) Mark Hahn, and a supporting cast that has seen it all before. And for once, they won’t be playing a team with a huge size advantage. GMM almost feels like the under dog here. |
| Key Players: (F) Jin Bae Kim, (G) Kento Kato
Kim’s patience last night was key to the GMM’s win. He didn’t force the issue until it was the right time to do so. And his defense late in the game was clutch. If it weren’t for Kato’s hot shooting, GMM might not even had a chance to come back and win. If he keeps it up, they won’t even need (G) Tommy Wong to shake off the rust from his shot. |

Key Players: (G) Leuis Ng, (F) Mark Hahn
It seems too obvious to pick these two but, especially in this title game, against a GMM offense and defense that isn’t quite always on the same page, Ng and Hahn can really put up huge numbers in their respective areas of dominance. If GMM doesn’t have the scouting report on these two, it could feel like a very long night for the Maybes. |
