Previous results:
a) There will be no gudge match for Barkley against Frozen Synapse next round, nor will it pull out it secret weapon, the Home Improvement kid. The Old Spalding Song Sucked didn't horribly suck, but the voters were holding their crucifix (and their votes) close to their chest. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin advances, 12-7.
b) The Answer for how to finally put the upstart YS 7 out of the tournament since it's winning streak dating back to round L1 is apparently more Umineko! -- even if zts's work just barely held on again for a second day. Umineko advances...TO PLAY AGAIN TODAY, 9-8.
------------------------------------------
You're not going to get a more marquee match-up than this one, folks. Scars of Time or DED, to represent the winner, isn't presently slated for anything more awesome than Shadowlord. If there's one match to check out, this is probably going to be the one. After this, we have jumped the shark...if we hadn't already simply by doing a loser's bracket.
Anyway, an apology for a second day in a row: Umineko should not have had to deal with a tiebreaker with YS. It was pointed out to me that I had miscounted, and Umineko actually came out ahead by one. Turns out it wins the tiebreaker anyway, but again it was really close. Give some props to YS for almost winning to Umineko two times.
