Block A has been going more or less as expected, the competitors are, unwittingly sorted by their seed. So who’s on top is on top, who’s on bottom is on bottom. Except for Catire, who still has 0 points. But lets get into what could happen this week.
Whether TCP or Catire win this week, it has no effect on the tournament. Both are already statistically eliminated and can only affect that tournament by fighting someone still in contention. So there’s nothing going on here, really, aside from the both of them trying to get more points. Catire’s final match, against Kylo, will matter, though.
Fruity vs. Kylo is live or die situation for Kylo. he HAS to win to still be in contention next week. And if he wins he has the tie-breaker over both Fruity and Toad which gives him a distinct advantage for winning the block. Where Fruity and Toad would need a win next week (Toad also this week) AND Kylo has to lose next week, Kylo just has to win and hope everything goes according to plan.
Depending on how this week’s matches go Toad vs. Dash could potentially eliminate Toad. He cannot afford to lose this match or he’s out. Dash doesn’t have to worry about anything anymore because he’s already eliminated
Where A-Block went mostly as would be expected B-Block likes to be a bit more defiant. The strongest in the mix, Freddie Hope, is actually behind Palpatine and tied with Underdog Majestic Goat-Man. Tree, another favorite, has not won a single match yet.
Tree will go against Lotus. Both are eliminated already so this is just for the points. But if tree wants to finish with at least two points he should probably start winning. Lotus is no slouch, though. He may have lost to Palpatine last week, but it was a very drawn-out and close fight.
In our second B-Block match the two favorites, Freddie Hope and Palpatine go one on one against each other. If Palpy turns out victorious that’s it for Freddie and Goat would be the only other one still in contention. If freddie wins, however, the situation is similar to A-Block where a Goat win next week can be the deciding match between a Freddie or Palpy win in the end. That is assuming goat is no longer in contention. If he is he will be fighting for himself. Tree, of course, could also spoil Freddie’s Z1 next week.
Finally, we have MGM vs. Lore Convoluter. Lore is already out but MGM has to fight to maintain his standing. If he loses that doesn’t mean he’s eliminated, necessarily. It all depends on what Freddie and Palpy do. But if goat loses AND palpy wins, that’s it, we have a winner right there and it’s the Dark Side of the Palpatine Dream. But let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
For both blocks there’s a few more scenarios, of course, but going over everything would be quite exhausting for me so I’m just not gonna.
