Day 7 results

"Of course this *#%! happens right before the end"

It is the final day of the Round Robin phase. Those up front are hoping to solidify their positions, while those in the middle are trying to move up and those in the back are simply trying to stay out of last. The bettors want good returns on their money, while the crazed fans who have packed the stadium simply want a great day of matches. The contestants look poised to deliver, and the crowd erupts upon the emergence of the referee, who walks in, acknowledges the contestants, and raises his hand into the air.

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

First-place atheotes, who has had an excellent tournament, is eager to wrap things up, however, he faces a dangerous opponent in Andres, whose use of randomness in the final days has served him well. In this case, it does so again, as his Paper defeats atheotes's Rock. Upon realizing that he has momentary possession of first place due to tiebreakers, Andres goes mad with joy, nearly drowning himself in a vat of Belgian beer. atheotes, meanwhile, can only kick himself in frustration. He was so close.

Beefy187, who has been charging up the leaderboard recently, is exhausted from all of his previous ties but still game against the most inconsistent player of the tournament, Sigurd. If the pattern holds, Sigurd will come away with a victory since it is an odd-numbered day. However, this is not the case as Beefy breaks two patterns: First, by beating Sigurd with Paper over Rock, and second, by doing so without the need for a tiebreaker round.

pevergreen, who has been in and out of first place for the entire tournament, is looking to take advantage of atheotes's mishap and claim the all-important #1 seed against Warmaster Horus, who has not had the best tournament. Patterns hold and pever throws Rock, defeating Horus's Scissors. By way of losing the tiebreaker to Death is Yonder, Horus is guaranteed the eighth spot in the knockout round, meaning the two of them will meet in a rematch in the opening day of the Knockout Round. pever, meanwhile, is too busy celebrating to take note of this fact.

In the final match of the Round Robin phase, Death is Yonder, whose #7 seed is already wrapped up, plays for pride against CountArach, who is looking for a high seeding. With all eyes on him, DiY delivers and throws Scissors. This defeats CA's paper, and DiY is greeted by a thundering ovation as his losing streak is finally ended.

The Round Robin phase is over, but not all spots are yet locked up, as a look at the final standings can determine:
