No Clue then faced the big dogs of the group falling 3-0 to KoU assuring KoU’s advance to the Knockout stage, as well as Orbit surprising everyone and dropping to Checkmate 2-1.

Guest Predictions!

As Royale moves to a week day format and a 5 day format I will be bringing on guests from the community to give their predictions for the next day's results. Today we have DMRawlings, from the Power Rankings committee, who predicts “iBP will be back, so just hand the RR money to them and forego the tournament." Strong words from him.
