Day 4 results

With today marking the halfway point of the round robin phase, the massive audience gathered at the stadium (not to mention the contestant pool) is eager for some answers, some separation. So far, they have been treated to an extremely tight battle where a single point separates first place from last. Tournament organizers are fretting about what they have to do should a multiple tiebreaker be required, but that's a story for another day. It's time for another round!

As always, the crowd somewhat quiets down as the referee walks in, acknowledges the contestants, and raises his hand in the air.

"Rock... paper... scissors... shoot!"

Andres and Warmaster Horus stare each other down before throwing. Horus is desperately hoping for a victory, having achieved his one point in a victory against Sigurd. Andres, his promise to throw only Scissors, has long been dust in the wind. However, he deems it prudent enough to actually throw Scissors this time around, and the mental tactics work as Horus throws Paper and visually grimaces. With Andres's victory, he temporarily moves into first place while Horus slips further back.

Next, in a matchup of a co-leader and a person only half a point behind, both Sigurd and atheotes are jockeying to firmly place themselves apart from the rest of the pack. Sigurd has attributed his one loss to a break in concentration, and has vowed for it not to happen again. However, he doesn't achieve the quick kill as both contestants throw Paper initially. Keeping with recent tradition, though, atheotes adjusts and throws Scissors, which easily cuts through Sigurd's conservative choice of Paper. atheotes has moved himself ahead of Sigurd, who is starting to look like the tournament's most inconsistent player.

pevergreen, the other co-leader, faces down Death is Yonder in the next match, who is bringing up the rear. Now, because this is such a tight tournament, lots of people are picking DiY to be victorious here, just to throw another wrench into the proceedings. However, this is not to be. After an initial tie of both contestants throwing Paper, pevergreen finally achieves some separation and establishes himself as the clear leader by staying conservative and sticking with Paper while DiY tries to do too much and throws Rock.

Finally, the last match of the is CountArach vs. Beefy187, both of whom have been known for initially getting into ties. Of course, keeping with the theme of anything going in this tournament, no such tie is to be found as CA achieving a quick victory with his Paper covering Beefy's Rock.

With the round robin phase halfway over, a hierarchy has finally somewhat been established. This is a relief to a great amount of people, including the bettors who now know where to set the odds of each match. As a matter of fact, the only people who probably don't like it are the "have nots" themselves, who find themselves having extra work to do should they not want to go up against the likes of pevergreen and CountArach in the opening match of the knockout round.

Standings through Day 4:

pevergreen: 3
CountArach: 2.5
atheotes: 2.5
Andres: 2.5
Sigurd: 2
Beefy187: 1.5
Warmaster Horus: 1
Death is Yonder: 1
