What makes the Grand Finals special is that nothing outside these final 18 matches matters anymore. Every team starts with the same objective, and every decision can have a direct impact on where they finish. We have seen how quickly the standings can change in BGMS, and I expect these final three days to deliver the kind of competition and moments that stay with the fans long after the season is over.”
