All your claims about the European Championship are admittedly very true. Still doesn't really excuse the fact that Razer ended its carer in the original series the way it did. If the fight had been extremely close or if everything that had happened had occured several minutes into the battle, or heck, if Razer had been sufficiently LOSING to Tornado before that point, then maybe. But no, Razer almost immediately showed it could tackle Tornado's frame, went for the pit attempt a minute in, then suddenly burnt out for no reason and then the entire rest of the battle, and everything that happened subsequently (including Razer actually getting the win) was a mess.

Also, I just felt it'd make a good feed-in towards the ACTUAL final battle.
