The two teams that emerged from the loser's tournament, defeating scary teams like Gian/Everest/Shingo or Miekazu/Makotsu/Nori were Kyuntakuya/Yukito/Uguu and Kodzuka/Kentucky/Shou. | |||
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. | |||
After that, Yanjirou's team sent in Zakuroman, defeating both Shou and Kentucky, with Kodzuka taking a match before losing to Yanjirou. | |||
===Grand Finals=== | |||
The grand finals were two battles at once taking place. Not only did the strongest teams finally meet to determine the outcome of the tournament, but U-rasia was expected to play against Yanjirou in this 3on3 at some point. Lately there has been talk that Yanjirou might be the best player currently just ahead of U-rasia, so as an observer, I felt there was also that on the line to settle.<br> | |||
All the players watching were incredibly hype at first, but as the matches proceeded, everybody became increasingly silent as the tension was just so high and nobody wanted to disturb the players. All of that changed when, during the very last match, Yanjirou missed a C-Crow Bites with Kula and U-rasia got the full punish with Oswald, which made me start cheering and shouting, with others joining in, realizing that the finals are getting close to their end. | |||

U-rasia got the crucial win against Yanjirou, and was celebrated as a hero by both his team and the crowd. For Sawakoro, winning his own tournament was an important goal, and he was incredibly happy. While Rock didn't manage to defeat a player in the finals, his performance with Ralf in particular was absolutely stunning and left me laughing in disbelief as he read Zakuroman like a book.<br> | |||
Overall, the tournament was absolutely incredible, but the | |||
