The brackets in Challonge should be updated now! Congratulations to Nintendownload X-Press on becoming our first finalist. They will play the winner of the loser's bracket, which still has a few rounds to go.

The matches that need to be played next are between Team Starbase and Boost Club, and Based In Sweden and Cosmic Afterhorse. TRY TO PLAY THESE GAMES BY NEXT MONDAY, July 31st! The earlier the better as I'd like to get moving on this so we can broadcast the finals in some shape!

Sorry if you are getting tagged in this post despite having been eliminated; I'll try to edit out the un-needed names the next time I put this post together.

Team Starbase is sadly defeated by Boost Club 3-2. GG guys

Had a rough time scheduling our (Cosmic Afterhorse) this weekend. They are also EU so during the week is impossible, feel free to coin flip.

Team Starbase and Cosmic Afterhorse (due to a coin flip) are moving on! Please play your match at your earliest convenience!

But we won :-(

Boost Club vs Cosmic Afterhorse will be on Friday night roughly around 8:30 PM EDT, if Do You Have a Waffle is around then we could try and play these games back to back.

Boost Club should be on the bracket up against Cosmic Afterhorse

I can confirm that Boost Club is should have moved on.

Boost Club beats Cosmic 3-2 GGs!

@xbayyx: @ianwclark: Sorry I totally misread that comment from last week!

Boost Club and Do You Have a Waffle are up for the last match before the finals! Please @ me in this thread when the match is complete and we'll see when we can stream it on the site!

@rorie: It shouldn't be an issue as there's still the final of the losers bracket to play, but one member of NintenDownload X-press is on holiday till the 16th of August. Hope it's okay to arrange the finals after that?

@rorie Boost Club loses 3-0 to Waffle in losers finals

@rorie Do You Have a Waffle are very interested in having the final game on a day where you can stream it. I'm going to assume we would play the week after your teammate gets back so he has time to get ready.

Whichever timing works best for you all. As it's going to be a best-of-seven match we'll probably do it as its own stream instead of horning it into UPF.

@rorie: @deathlocke: Agreed, once our teammate is back I'm hoping we can be as flexible as possible (despite the timezone differences) to make it easy for Rorie to get it on stream :) I'm initially happy with the week starting 21st of August, will make sure my team are aware!

Also congrats Do You Have a Waffle, shall we agree to try US East servers first this time?

@bollard US East is what we are hoping for since it worked much better for all of us overall.

@rorie We have a bit of a timezone difference so we will have to figure out a time that works for all of us. I believe Nintendownload Xpress is a BST team, my team is a CST/EST team and you being in PST.

Spoken to my team now and we're willing to play late on a weekday to make it easy for Rorie and yourselves, so I'm sure we can work something out!
