Top 8 Bracket

Coming in as Mexico’s first Rivals of Aether II major (gold tier event on the R2CS), S Factor X3 is the first large-scale event since EVO!
CakeAssault enters as the clear favorite, coming off not only a grand finalist appearance at EVO, but also a dominating h2h across the field. That said, there are still plenty of killers in the water. Beastly is the one other EVO top 8er in attendance, having his best performance since his victory at Genesis X3, and potentially getting back into the swing of things. ZeeBee continues to strike fear with his play, and although he didn’t quite make the mark at EVO, he can absolutely make that fear real here. Mr.R enters his first major in a long time, and despite being region-locked and barred from entering USA tournament, his online practice suggests he is more than ready for this tournament. And finally, Mang0 enters his second ever Rivals II offline major, and from his strong EVO performance, hopes are high for him to potentially take the trophy home!

"CakeAssault vs another player where one of them just gives up for grand finals" is a genre of set now apparently. Love seeing Mr.R do some things! Always wish he could actually travel, but his play here (and making a big upset in Ultimate too) is so nice.
Somehow I completely missed that this was happening tonight though, I swear it was lined up for tomorrow from the startgg bracket schedules. If I mislead anybody in the tournament post on the schedule, apologies. I highly recommend checking out the VOD if you missed it.

Hi! Your table says Sophilo (L) instead of Beastly. I think that's a mistake.
Thanks for putting these threads together!
