Since we got eliminated, we were free to play casual matches on the many versus setups against other players who were waiting for there matches. There were also a few teams I definitely wanted to see every match of (TORI/Yamate/Sagawa team, and of course Rock/Sawakoro/U-rasia), so I made sure I was always aware of who was playing currently. | Since we got eliminated, we were free to play casual matches on the many versus setups against other players who were waiting for there matches.

Yanjirou took the whole team out, showing how frighteningly strong he currently is - many consider him the best player next to U-rasia currently. Both of these teams are strong enough to easily win the whole tournament, so this was a bit of an "early finals" moment that left everybody really hype, and then in awe as they saw how it played out. | ||
I made sure to watch all of the team Rock/Sawakoro/U-rasia matches in B-Block. Observing them as a team when they were gathered around the cab made it very apparent that they were hell-bent to win the tournament: their body language and the excitement they expressed made that abundantly clear:<br> | I made sure to watch all of the team Rock/Sawakoro/U-rasia matches in B-Block.

Sawakoro's team had to face off against Kyuntakuya's, and threw in a curveball: they sent in U-rasia first, whereas he would usually go last in most matches, and he chose to play Whip instead of Oswald. The strategy payed off and U-rasia beat the whole team. | Sawakoro's team had to face off against Kyuntakuya's, and threw in a curveball: they sent in U-rasia first, whereas he would usually go last in most matches, and he chose to play Whip instead of Oswald.

Miekazu had planned a big party in a restaurant around the corner, with all you can eat-and-drink for several hours.

Most players joined, the few that didn't remained at port24 and used as much time as they could to get more casuals in - I can't blame them, but on the other hand I knew what was coming at the party and absolutely didn't want to miss out! | ||
First of all, I was asked by miekazu to deliver a toast before the drinking began - so I prepared a little [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6N_hgWQp6Y speech], in japanese (thank you google translate) to kick things off. | First of all, I was asked by miekazu to deliver a toast before the drinking began - so I prepared a little [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6N_hgWQp6Y speech], in japanese (thank you google translate) to kick things off. | ||

I suggested Kingcar since he speaks some Japanese and I didn't want to spoil myself. Little did I know he would be part of the party and would have to shut up the whole time, and I also didn't expect there to be so many questions - thanks for the work, Kingcar!<br> | ||
