Hey traders! The Final duel is here. After weeks of eliminations, the HIVE World Cup has come down to two weather traders: BeefSlayer_ and Maskache. Day one is in the books, and BeefSlayer_ has drawn first blood while Maskache is already fighting from behind.
Let’s break down where the Finals stand and whether Maskache can claw his way back.
Quick Rules Summary
Finalists go 1v1, seeded by group score. Both traders reset to $500 for a short head-to-head window; whoever makes more profit advances. Single elimination, until one champion is left.
Best Trade of the Day
No trade deserved the best trade of the day title—you got to try harder guys!
Worst Trade of the Day
The worst trade of the day goes to Maskache:
He wrongly predicted the highest temperature in Seoul for $166 loss, giving BeefSlayer_ an early lead.
Finals
BeefSlayer_ vs Maskache
BeefSlayer_ has an early lead after a bad trade from Maskache. Both weather trader, however, got us used to much higher P&Ls. This contest is far from over and I expect Maskache to make up the difference soon.
Traders are competing for the main prize now and each trade counts. And with weather, we have dozens of markets daily making for a great show. Maskache can make up the loss in no time and be back in the game.
It’s the ultimate showdown between the top weather traders!
Wrap Up
That’s all for today! The Finals opened with a stumble from Maskache, whose $166 miss on the highest temperature in Seoul handed BeefSlayer_ an early lead. But both of these traders have shown us far bigger P&Ls than this, and with dozens of weather markets resolving daily, there’s plenty of room for Maskache to erase the gap. This one is far from over.
Who’s your pick to be crowned HIVE World Cup Champion? My longtime favorite BeefSlayer_, or the resilient Maskache?
