The end of today’s matches was finally in sight.

Only one match remained.

The fifth round—also known as the quarterfinals.

We were on the brink of the day’s final battles, which would determine the ultimate victors from Groups A through D.

I sighed deeply while snacking on the Vienna sausages Kris was feeding me one by one.

“This is such a grueling schedule.”

“Well, tomorrow, you just have the semifinals and finals during peak time, right?”@@novelbin@@

“The crowd’s going to be even bigger….”

Even today, there were plenty of people roaming around the event area. But tomorrow was the main event of the tournament, featuring the semifinals and finals. All eyes would be on us.

Taking advantage of a short break, Kris and I finished an early dinner and headed to check out the quarterfinal bracket on the main stage.

[Group A – Gyuham Jo Hyunsu vs. Death’s Shadow]

[Group B – Rain vs. Faisal]

[Group C – Nagi vs. Eddie]

[Group D – Skada vs. Woori-Gyeolhonhaesseoyo]

Looking at the lineup of nicknames on the quarterfinal bracket, I nodded.

As expected, everyone who made it this far was predictable. While I didn’t know much about the overseas server players like Faisal, my opponent, or Eddie, Nagi’s opponent, their presence here wasn’t surprising.

Kris examined the names on the bracket and let out an impressed whistle.
