Well into the last two ties and as the cliche goes all to play for Current Team could seal it here with a victory OR Classic Team could take it to the final tie to decide the winner. The slimmest of leads seem to make Current Team favourites, but its about whose left as we've seen both teams comfortably win 2 or more ties on the bounce, edge of the seat stuff.
So into these final two ties what can the teams still have in the locker. They've been trading punches over 30 ties so far. Surely they have nothing left to give... Well hell would you look at that. Classic Team only have Steve chuffin' Dillon! He only made the second round of the original Classic tourney but he did draw Carlos there so, ya know. Current Team aren't doing too bad either. David Roach might have gone out in Round 1 of the Current Tourney - but some on Dave Roach. Not bad. Suspect this will be a toughy BUT these are vital round so...
Time for you to decide your favourite as the droids square up to the tee...
David Roach - more info (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=davidr)
OR
Steve Dillon - more info (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=droid&page=profiles&choice=STEVED)
Remember for this tourney you have 5 votes to distribute as you please between these two artists, whole numbers only. So you can vote 5 - 0; 4 - 1; or 3 - 2; either way depending on how much more you like one artist's work over the other.
If you can't be doing with that just name your favourite - remember bold tags, or other ways of highlighting always appreciated - and I'll give them 3 votes and nowt to the other droid.
Three day votes, so this one ends morning of Thursday 17th June
Remember we only consider work for Tharg in these Tourneys

I met Steve once - nice man - not to say David isn't, he's just better at avoiding me! Love David's work but Steve has an iconic line and so many cracking strips = Steve 4 David 1.
This one has a day to go and I'll count up in the morning. Seems pretty clear which way this is going, but have to be honest not as clear cut as I thought it might be.
To be honest its not 100% clear cut for me. While I do like Steve Dillon's work its only his early stuff I adore. Often its the other way around for me, admiring early work but embracing the more confident later work, with Steve Dillon his latter stuff falls in to the confortable category for. David Roach on the other hand has a fine precise line, and a gift drawing the gothic and beautiful, but for me it lack a certain... well what... energy maybe? In the end I think I have to go:
David Roach 2 : Steve Dillon 3
VOTING CLOSED
And so it does come down to the wire.
This one started much closer than I expected with David Roach making Steve Dillon vote for vote but as it went on the much loved Steve Dillon took hold of the tie and took a decent lead. There was much, much love though for David and both artists.
Overall though this one couldn't have been more important as it meant this entire tourney, all 32 ties, have come down to thet very last tie to decide who wins the Artists Ryder Cup. I'll write more about how much that amazes me when we have a result but for now let's get to that tie...
Current Team 15.5 : Classic Team 15.5
Current Team 1379 : Classic Team 1420
