===First Rounds=== | |||
From the mixed teams, Inuyama Beef Sushi was paired up against Shingo/Tetsu/Ryotsu and had to play before Bindung. Arit and AD_Ryan lost to Tetsu, the latter in a close match. Toru defeated Tetsu, kept up a good fight but ultimately lost to Shingo. Bindung was next, and our first matchup was against Yamate/Sagawa/Tacchi. Yamate defeated Antser, after which I was next. I am very confident with Oswald against Vanessa, since it is a relatively easy matchup for him - abuse 2B and forward roll and it becomes very hard for vanessa to do much at all. However, Yamate's raw skill with point Vanessa proved way too much for me. The pressure was intense, causing me to miss several inputs that cost me my Oswald, and from there on he overwhelmed me quickly. Next up was Miekazu, who did much better than me, but ultimately lost after [https://youtu.be/m25_sHOosjQ?t=4565 baiting saving shift with his leader Oswald thrice] with Yamate not falling for it. Oswald is weak to saving shift, so this was a high-level play, and a high-level reading of the situation in turn by Yamate.<br> | From the mixed teams, Inuyama Beef Sushi was paired up against Shingo/Tetsu/Ryotsu and had to play before Bindung.

Both mixed teams where knocked into the loser bracket, and A block | Both mixed teams where knocked into the loser bracket and had to wait for their next matches. As both A and B block continued, I was able to watch other matches, and came just in time to watch a highlight: Round 2 had begun, and [https://youtu.be/rLrOvaiby7M?t=3454 U-rasia/Kentucky/Nori were facing Yukito/Zakuroman/Sawakoro]! This matchup was the first sign that U-rasia was in his tournament mode the whole day, where is even stronger than usual.<br> | ||
Afterwards, the next highlight took place in B block: [https://youtu.be/rLrOvaiby7M?t=3970 Yanjirou/Kodsuka/GRID clashed with Tobidogu-San/Rock/Saginomiya]. Just like U-rasia, Yanjirou showed everyone how well prepared and determined he was to take the tournament.<br> | |||
Then, [https://youtu.be/rLrOvaiby7M?t=4562 U-rasia/Kentucky/Nori faced Yanjirou/Kodsuka/GRID] in the B block finals. This could very well be described as an early grand finals game, as both of these two teams were favorites to take the whole tournament. In an exciting match, Yanjirou's team however emerged victorious, winning the B-block and sending U-rasia's team into the B-block loser bracket.<br> | |||
Meanwhile, Gian/Arata/Ozuma ermeged victorious from A-block, sending both Shingo's and Tobidogu-San's teams into the A-block loser bracket. | |||
===The Loser Bracket=== | |||
On the B block station, the losers bracket started, and many of the strongest teams had to face each other yet again. [https://youtu.be/rLrOvaiby7M?t=9448 U-rasia/Kentucky/Nori defeated Yamate/Sagawa/Tacchi] and [https://youtu.be/rLrOvaiby7M?t=10813 Sawakoro/Yukito/Zakuroman defeated Makotsu/Hokuto/Ryuumi], after which they had to face each other once again for a rematch. I had the honor of commenting that matchup, it can be found [https://youtu.be/rLrOvaiby7M?t=11545 here]. Sawakoro was able to get revenge from U-rasia in an exciting match, but Kentucky managed to defeat Sawakoro, then losing to Zakuroman. Ultimately, Nori turned it around for the team however and won both against Zakuroman and Yukito, thereby winning the B-block losers tournament.<br> | |||
Meanwhile, Gian's team had won the A-block, and the A-block loser's tournament was running. Inuyama Beef Sushi had to face egaoGian/Operaza/Roger and ultimately lost in a bit of an upset. Bindung didn't fare much better and was OCved by everybody's favorite zoner/bullet hell player Tobidogu-San. I know the matchup against Kensou very well, but I didn't even get through his King, which is a character that is not played at all in Germany, not to mention his Jazu, who is on a whole different level. The highlight of the A-block loser bracket were the finals: [https://youtu.be/m25_sHOosjQ?t=12663 Tetsu/Ryotsu/Shingo vs Saginomiya/Rock/Tobidogu-San]. Saginomiya was first, taking out Tetsu and losing (in style) to Shingo. Saginomiya is famous for his very strong Iori (make sure to check the casual vids, i remember him destroying a few top players on stream). Next was Tobidogu-San, then Rock, both losing to Shingo, whose team advanced victorious from the B-block loser bracket.<br> | |||
