We have concluded the first day of Last Round at Final Round 18 and when it comes to hype and clutch matches the community has definitely delivered today. The stream was cut short, but we got 3-4 hours of DOA stream time on Spooky, who also did the commentating all by himself. For not being a DOA regular it was good stuff from him! Thanks for the support, Spooky! You can watch Pools at Spooky's Official YouTube Playlist!
We see Crazy Steady rocking his belt from his Cali Crush victory last year, and he gets to work on his opponents. Despite some valiant efforts he has dishonorably slayed and definitely intends to make this tournament his.
Awesmic also appeared as a fighter! Not a spectator! And he killed it early on in the bracket but lost to E-Mann in a clutch set that had me on my toes the entire time. Great Christie plays from the get-go.
We see the return of Fyre T, and he had a great Mila to show the community. His combos and decisions were on point, and this player is one to keep your eyes on. He continues to vastly improve tournament after tournament.
Lopedo and Kwiggle eventually collided into each other on the bracket, and surprisingly, Lopedo had a new character for us; more Mila! He won the first set against Kwiggle's Phase 4 but refused to character change to Kwiggle's Lisa and was sent to Loser's Bracket.
Also worth mentioning was Itabashi Zangief (an international player) vs. BAP K's Tina. Itabashi was able to represent Pai with his unique take on the character and ended up winning against BAP K in a close set with plenty of throw punishes and holds.
Right after that match we got to experience Crazy Steady vs E-Mann in a Leifang mirror! This match had plenty of close calls and went right down to the wire with some of the best utilization of the character I have seen in competitive play. Crazy took this mirror with an intense Power Blow on the new but not new 'Crimson' stage.
E-Mann switched to his girl Helena and immediately got to work on the streets, but Crazy made sure that the match was again down to the wire before E-Mann ended the second match with some impressive baits on Lei's wakeups from the Bokuho duck. E-Mann seals his last victory at 'Ends of the Earth' sending Crazy to loser bracket to fight Awesmic.
He switches to Marie Rose to face off with Awesmic's Christie and wins the first match on the streets. They have another fight within the lab and despite some very close calls, Crazy locks his way into Top 8 thanks to some great reads throughout.
Japanese player, Itabashi was next set to fight against 'Not Infiltration' and put up a good fight with his Pai but was unable to get the win over that 'Not Infiltration' Lisa. Sonic Fox and Rip the Jacker close today's stream with Sonic Fox's Marie Rose claiming the victory over Jacker's Ayane.
