Sorry to have just noticed this but I thought it was weird I wasnt on the Gamefaqs leaderboard and its because my Guru bracket has DMC>DKC but in reality it was the other way around. I didnt mess with my bracket before submitting it for the Guru so not sure why it didnt change that.

Another part of Horizon Zero Dawn winning that I forgot to mention - this eliminates the Cookie bracket, since that was Moltar's only risk.

Noted locally.

Eliminations for Division 3 are straightforward, with no need for a grid since only one match matters.

If Octopath Traveler beats Shovel Knight:
  • TAFKAHurricane is eliminated by Master Moltar
  • ctesjbuvf is eliminated by Luster Soldier

Looks like I'm dropping more points in the first two days of round 2 (6) than I did in all of round 1 (5).

Yup, Allen, ya blew it. You had your chance to put me on the leaderboard, but noOOoo. And now it's too late.

It seems Luster and I have identical brackets post round 2, but he's five points ahead, meaning I also need Sonic and Mario Kart to advance a round in which case he's eliminated by me instead.

Unless of course something else get some first I suppose.

Quick update: MZero11 isn't dead; smart copy/paste inserted a space where I wasn't expecting one and that screwed up my program's output. Issue is fixed now and won't affect anything else.

Shovel Knight looks to have things in hand at this point, so compilation of division 4 is in progress (which is what alerted me to the issue).

Hey, I'm up for elimination.

Of course, the chances of Xenoblade losing now are pretty much non-existent, so I should survive even if the other half of the division goes completely sour.
