After a postseason full of drama and fierce competition, we've finally reached the most important series of the year. The No. 2 Valkyries and No. 4 Dream will go head-to-head in the WNBA Finals, starting this weekend.

W fans are getting ready for a brand-new Finals matchup, in which either franchise will be first-time champions. Both teams swept strong veteran squads in the process, with Golden State eliminating the defending champion Aces, and Atlanta knocking out the Liberty in the semifinal round.

The Valkyries could make history this month, becoming the first ever expansion team to win a championship in just their second season. Atlanta won't make it easy though — the Dream are on a franchise-best 10-game winning streak, and they don't look to be slowing down at all.

Who will etch their names into the history books?
