I had to do some edits which were done quite fast but I couldn't be bothered to reupload them 2gb until I did.
I didn't put any music this time and used free music from audioswap so Germans can view this video without using a proxy (unlike the 1v1 final), also cut out idle moments at end of turns to shorten it. The last 11 minutes are without sound due to the limitations of the free library. 720p available. direct link
