Hey traders! The wait is over. The Semifinals are done and we know our two finalists. Both duels delivered, and one of them came down to a single trade that flipped everything with less than 24 hours to go. Now we’re left with two weather traders standing: BeefSlayer_ and Maskache.
Let’s break down how we got here and who’s got the better shot at lifting the trophy.

Semifinals
Joker_Poly vs BeefSlayer_
Joker_Poly went neck-to-neck with BeefSlayer_ until the last moment. Both traders had an amazing run, however JokerPoly lost it all on one WNBA prediction. That way we lost the last non-weather trader in the tournament.
BeefSlayer goes on the the Finals with $2,878 in profit. Congrats!
Maskache vs WeatherOnly
WeatherOnly was in the lead at times, however he lacked some luck in the last day. After a series of bad weather predictions he lost almost the entire bankroll.
On the other hand, Maskache held steady and advanced to the Finals with $1,487 in profit. He will now match against BeefSlayer_ in the ultimate weather trader matchup.
Congrats!
Wrap Up
That’s all for today! The Semifinals gave us everything. BeefSlayer_ held his nerve after Joker_Poly threw it all away on one WNBA call, while Maskache stayed steady as WeatherOnly’s bankroll melted away. The last non-weather trader is out, and the Finals will show who’s the best out of the dominating caste of weather traders.
