Championship Semifinals start on Monday.
Championship Match starts on Wednesday.

Three epics and a classic song 

An Annette song, two Tarja songs and one that, albeit sung by Tarja, got a renewed appreciation and live importance thanks to Floor. So, technically, Floor is not in the finals, but in a way she is.

[Evermind]

I had no idea She is My Sin is so well-liked. It's somewhere in my Top 30 Nightwish songs I guess but nowhere near Top 4.

Nightwish the League Championship Match
1. The Poet and the Pendulum defeats 1. Beauty of the Beast 3-2

The Poet and the Pendulum Is the Champion of Nightwish the League!

Thank you to everyone who played along over the course of the last 7+ months. 

[Evermind]

Be still, my son, you're mine
Oh when did you become my son?
The blade will keep on keeping on
All you need is to be my son

Search for beauty, find my son
Try to save them all, save them all
You have such oceans within
In the end you will always be my son

It was a great (and admittedly sometimes bizarre) experience but I had loads of fun. Thank you DoC for running this! Thank you MirrorMask, SleeperAwake and sometimes Milena and other people who voted but didn't post for participating! I was really expecting Ghost Love Score to win this but I'm pleasantly surprised that Poet won.

[MirrorMask]

I too expected Ghost Love Score to win.

And then I expected Beauty of the Beast to win.

But well, it was a fantastic ride and The Poet and the Pendulum is a fantastic song anyway, and it's also the journey and the fun that matters, not the final outcome, otherwise there would be no point in making a Metallica survivor (Master is gonna win, d'uh).

Thank you Destiny of Chaos for being an absolutely amazing host, I hope you had the same fun in conducting the survivor as I had in trying to keep pace with Evermind's toomfoolery in the partecipation 

[SleeperAwake]

The Poet and the Pendulum was not the expected winner for me, but it's a great and worthy song. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ghost Love Score never went up against Beauty of the Beast did it? That would have been interesting.

Anyway, thank you to all who participated and Destiny Of Chaos for running the whole thing. It's been a lot of fun.
