Before I talk about yesterday's match, let's discuss the Tales series and their performances in these tournaments.

2001: Tales of Eternia loses to Phantasy Stay Online in round 1
2004: Symphonia loses to Shadow Hearts: Covenant in round 3
2006: Tales of the Abyss loses to Okami in round 2
2008: Vesperia loses to Professor Layton in round 3; Symphonia 2 loses to Kirby Super Star Ultra in round 1
2012: Graces F loses to Journey in round 2
2013: Xillia loses to BioShock Infinite in round 2
2014: Xillia 2 loses to Smash Bros 3DS in round 2; Tales of Hearts loses to Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire in round 1
2015: Zestiria loses to Legend of Heroes: ToCS in round 1

So it was obvious that the Tales series has underperformed in these, with top seeded titles like Symphonia and Vesperia burning out in the sweet 16. For awhile, it seemed like Berseria yesterday was going to meet the same fate, as Pyre jumped out to a decent lead. In the second half, however, Tales of Berseria came back when it mattered the most and pulls off the victory in the final hours! Tales of Berseria becomes the first in the series to reach the Elite Eight with a 15-12 win over Pyre! It's reward? A showdown with contest favorite Zelda.
