There will only be one...

In the Advanced Thursday CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, here are the two team's left standing.

TOBEN (FAVORITE) VS NEW REGIME@ 8:30PM:

The top seeds in the division reach their final destinations as both teams took full advantage of getting some much needed rest during the quarters as they defeated their semi-final opponents last week in TBD and SWAT.

The favourite going into game day will be Toben. They have the depth and MB championship experience over New Regime as they have proven that they know how to get the job done on the game's brightest stage.

For New Regime, they're no strangers to the big dance, but they haven't been as successful in comparison to their opponent in the finals, as the last time they (Bitton, Halpern, Grossman) won a championship was when they were under "the North" umbrella, dating back several years. 

But, Toben cannot underestimate their opponent as they will be playing their most worthy foe in a final as Gooding and Williamson will have a daunting task in trying to slow down Turk & Ruach on game day. With that being said, New Regime will have to make it a priority to have a game plan to limit the offensive dominance of Walker, Gyamfi, and Osayande as each one of these prolific scoers on Toben can put up 30+ on a given night.

The marquee matchup of the night will be Stefan Nastic vs Taylor Dowhaniuk as it will be a super heavyweight bout between two of the top big men in the league. Nastic, who is more of a skilled big man will be challenged by the more physical Dowhaniuk, and this matchup may very well be the deciding factor of the game. With everything on the line, will it be Toben or New Regime raising the MB championship trophy? Stay tuned...

Good luck to both teams and may be the better team win.
