what a pointless swap

Hopes to eliminate Maru via Bomber, probably, while having "easy" matches himself.

The much simpler solution would be to just take maru out of his group. Him trying to eliminate him via proxy by bomber is a convoluted plan worthy of supervillian who never wins.

It's not even just getting Bomber to eliminate him. If they are in the same group he could only play vs Maru in the finals, that's a potential danger on his way to the finals eliminated. Since he obviously thinks the other 2 won't stop him.


If Life swapped Maru/Curious, he would've guaranteed himself 1st place and the only hard opponent in his bracket would be winner of Group C. Life wouldn't meet Maru unless he won Group C, and it wouldn't be that much harder than herO/ByuL/Dream

Now, it's harder to get first and he has pretty much the same bracket scenario. He risks getting 2nd and having PartinG in his side and also 2nd place of group C.

You can always lose to stupid bullshit, Life is running the risk of getting 2nd no matter what, he's running the risk of PartinG getting 2nd place in D no matter what etc. Don't make the matches for the Ro8 before the groups are played. And the fact that he kept Maru in his group, therefore eliminating him from his side of the bracket, shows me he respects him as an opponent more so than Dream, ByuL etc.
There was no way he could avoid all herO, PartinG and Maru in his half of the bracket completely anyway, but he could make sure to get rid of Maru, and that's what he did.

Such strong groups. This season is already great, and I'm super hyped for the RO16+

The bracket and results were the exact same from Ro8 on, with Bbyong replacing TY, Bomber replacing MMA and ByuL replacing Solar, yes.

Nice one! Totally agree! I don't know how it works, but I can imagine 3 Masterminds together can come up with pretty sick builds.
