[image error]Liz Shannon Miller managed to TKO Rachel Silvestrini in Monday’s match, giving SWAG an extra point than previously forecasted last week. The Finstock Exchange successfully scored their forecasted points after three consecutive defeats and got have managed to get back into first place. RoxStars took home the win after Robert Montano avoided the TKO with his five-pointer and Jeff Sneider answered his two-pointer. Korruption and The Quirky Mercs didn’t have matches this week and had no points to forecast.

With Witney Seibold and Robert Montano being eliminated in the tournament, it has become a race to see who gets out of last place. The Burning Droogs may have a three-point lead, but The Usual Suspects could get to the finals with Ethan Erwin. For those tuning into the double-head next Friday, Jeannine the Machine and The Warfather have an opportunity to continue their faction’s momentum out of last place.

Korruption has a chance to slow down The Finstock Exchange’s guaranteed advance (Murrell vs Bateman) if Adam Collins defeats John Rocha. If not, The Finstock Exchange will have a towering lead of forty-seven points and Korruption will be at a disadvantage going into Round Two.

William Bibbiani is expected to defeat James White on Monday’s match, especially if James plays like he did in his Play-in-match against Frank Moran. Hopefully, Kate Mulligan has prepared him for a competitor of Bibbiani’s caliber, otherwise The Den will have only Tom from this point forward.

Thursday will concluded all the Round One matches and the week after will be the start of Round Two. We could potentially see as many as three factions with three of their competitors in Round Two: Finstock Exchange, Quirky Mercs, and Korruption or SWAG (Oyama vs McKee). Whereas The Finstock Exchange took an early lead in the season, SWAG dominating the Star Wars Tournament, and Korruption running the Innergeekdom Tournament, The Quirky Mercs have the best chance to catch up to the leaders since Brendan Meyer and Perri Nemiroff are in Round Two.
