Rocket Royale Week 4 Day 4 - NA Knockouts
Coming into the NA Knockout stages iBuyPower were favorites to progress, despite missing the last RR due to travel.
The day started with a strong start from iBP taking down Vexx 3-0 moving into the semfinals with relative ease. Vexx faced this daunting foe with not much on their side having only taken 1 game from iBP in the past. The first upset of the day came when Genesis swept Orbit, a team that they previously got swept by themselves. Moving into the finals Genesis looked to take down the NA super team, iBuyPower. Genesis had a bit of hope going into this having beaten iBP 2-1 in their last encounter. But unfortunately it was not to be as iBuyPower won 3-1 to send themselves through to the international finals tomorrow.
The bottom half of the bracket started with a solid 3-1 win from Mockit NA over up and comers
Vision(The only non top 10 team to make it to this stage). They moved on to play Kings of Urban(With super sub Vafele) who beat No Clue 3-2 in a tight series. Kings proved that despite a sub they’re still a force to be reckoned with and moved past Mockit 3-1 to qualify for the international finals! Kings of Urban and iBuyPower come into the international finals with strong performances on either side of the bracket
Guest Prediction Show!
Yesterday’s guest, Part Timer correctly predicted Kings of Urban to go through, while I incorrectly predicted for Mockit NA. With the guests again taking the lead Hanz0 Hattori(@RG_Hanz0hattori) comes in to continue that. He predicts iBP to win it all, while I predict Flipside Tactics to win it all! Hopefully I can level it with the guests again!
Frostbite 10-20 Guests.
Next Week I will be moving to a slightly different format for the Prediction show, with one guest for every segment competing head to head with me, while an overall score runs as well.
Again all history and previous matchups is from Part Timer!
Sorry this one was a bit short, if anyone has anything they’d like to see to expand these Knockout stages days feel free to tweet at me @GoombaFrostbite !
