He was ahead in both scrappy games - basically had them both won - but then threw away both of them with incredibly sloppy play at the very end. This whole group kind of deserves to be eliminated, based solely on today's games.

This 5th game was a nice palate cleanser. Nice job, BarrackS.

I would have never imagined Barracks can beat Royal in a long TvT.

I don't think you realize how cooked royal has been off late.

I watched the live stream for a few seconds while I was on my bike waiting at the traffic light, and I thought it was impossible for Hero to lose, and he would easily beat the Barracks in the final. I think something happened afterwards...

I don't know if I'd consider that high level ZvZ, but it was peak ZvZ.

Royal is a best of set player because his style relies entirely on doing out of the box things.... and the funny part is that he is good at standard...

This wasn't the highest level of play but definitely the most entertaining group so far. Even the last game becomes action packed if you watch it on 1.5x speed.

Loser's match was by far the most entertaining game of the tournament so far.

BTS played ok but seems to have slipped by due to his opponents throwing the game. I don't see him fairing well in the Ro16.

Really surprised by how well barracks played vs Royal in both games. Cool to see.

I'm sure there's someone out there that placed a throwaway bet on BTS because the odds were too good to pass up and surprisingly made a shit ton of money lol.

I'm happy for BTS and Barracks.
