Sorry for the delay. I definitely blame the new healthcare system for anything wrong with this tournament and the event in general.

Finals started.

Surprised that all four teams in the finals won all of their first round games as well. Should be fun.

I was surprised about that as well. Should be good games in the finals.

If a tie-breaker occurs how will it be determined? More games between the tied clans?

My bad, thanks.

[jackal31]

does that mean the winner of the second set could be the loser from the first set.

ie - a team from the first set goes 0-3 but goes 3-0 in the second set. They technically would win the "rematch" of the tie-breaker.....does that crown them even though they were winless in the first set before the tie-break?

If they go 0-3, they wouldn't be involved in the tiebreaker. It's the teams that are tied.

Tiebreakers started.

Gradually reducing the amount of teams.. This is tight.
