Aleksi definitely deserved the win, he has so much style and he was just doing what he loves

To everyone talking about the bad atmosphere, I agree that the lighthearted games are the best and most fun, but you have to respect these two for absolutely slaying it. Alex did go a bit savage on the last 2 sets, but that was a response to Aleksi setting 3 tricks Alex had never done before. Huge props to Alex for stomping all of them (even though one wasn't really a bio). He even warned Aleksi jokingly about the set change at 11:45. These two went all out this game, huge respect to both.

"Is he bummed?" Yeah. "Is he pissed?" Yeah. "God dammit..." Poor Steve. Super tough job.

Alex on NS
'Hahahahah the heated arguments are hilarious. Aleksi and I are still real tight homies actually. The game was savage. That's it. What happens in a SLVSH game doesn't affect our relationship outside the game hahah. Oh and the finger was a complete joke. They cut the shot but we both were laughing actually'

For sure this was aleksis game, super hard to reff but steve and his stach did a good job even tho that 9 should have counted!

[TheRootsRiders]

I wanna see Ahall getting destroyed by Henrick now

[AntonioGianella]

lol def the most emotional SLVSH ever. props to Stepp for keeping it real.

Damn I didn't know Aleksi was such a beast!

[konstaheikkinen]

No doubt the sickest game so far, but I have to point out the negative atmosphere xd

[xxTrollerxx]

There was some heat in that game in the end god dayumn

[benhoagland]

wow Ahall does not fit in well with the overall slvsh vibe

[shnks]

Review: AHall is a competitive crybaby. Flipping Aleksi off while Aleksi was trying to be nice and his friend. Mad respect for AHall being a fucking tank. I can also see AHall prolly was just in a bad mood due to his heel hurting cause im the same way. Wish AHall wouldnt of have threw that dub 9 but aleksi also threw a cork 5 screamin semen. Aleksi did drag his hand for too long on that bio good reffing steve stunt. Even tho I was lowkey rooting for Aleksi and I wish AHall wasnt so competitive to the point where he would throw a trick Aleksi couldnt do especially on a jump like this. Cuz i already know Aleksi has some weird tricks he learned in Ruka that he couldve gotten on AHall. Those nose grabs were dirty GG AHall took the Dub Henrik Harlaut will end up winning the cup anyways

[gofi]

Calling those last two tricks right side was a dick move imo by ahall. Seems like the atmosphere was pretty heated.

"Sprinkled a little corkage on there"

The new Slvsh Cup games are the best part of my day

[JustCallMeNiko]

Wow boys, take it easy! Usually these SLVSH games have so good atmosphere but this one...!

[OkejDator]

Rewatching this I definitely understand Hall wanting to end it. Took hard slams. Looked very focused on each trick which to be fair were really sketchy and scary.

[HunterSchutt-xdoe]

Best game ever. Also, in light of Steves vast worldly knowledge he should be the permanent ref.

[KrisMarZBeats]

Steve and Magnus need to be permanent refs

[zmums]

Bruh. That was the gnarliest game I've seen in a while... I think that even thoe a hall was a bit of a jerk at the end, he took many wild tricks and threw down and just wanted to be done.
