Wuxi Expat wins the Eastern Conference Championship

Wuxi Expat Manuel Torrez has won the Eastern Conference Championship.  He did so by defeating Otto Blintz in the final that wasn't decided till the end.

Torrez said Blintz was a worthy opponent and that he was fortunate to beat him.

Blintz, proud in defeat, praised Torrez, saying he was a master.

Asked if he wanted to play the Western Conference Champion, Torrez said it was something he dreamed about as he trained for the Eastern Conference Final.  "I keep asking Western Conferencers to play me, but they never taken up the offer!" said Torrez, with a sigh.

The championship was Torrez's first.  Wuxi Expat Wally Droople, with little relation to Chestnut Pub owner Wally Droop, has won eight Eastern Conference Championships.
