and that's that! Going above and beyond with victory in both games, Martin is the grand champion of the MAME Knockout Tournament 5! CONGRATULATIONS!
Of course, congrats also to Pat for putting in a very strong 2nd-place performance, coming back through the entire loser's bracket to the finals! That meant playing in every game with no break weeks, which is very impressive.
I of course also want to thank everyone that participated, and for putting up with all the little problems we ran into with the tournament along the way ;) I think the best part of the tournament was all of the incredibly amazing recordings that came about. Hell, several people ended up breaking the world record on the first elimination game, Over Top!! And that was followed by more crazy stuff... Metrackle the mutant puzzle freak finishing Maniac Square, TRB's impressive Bonk score (and leeching, haha), Martin's new MARP high on Air Gallet, Pat's Strike Force clear (although that didn't happen until after the round), Metamoqester being finished by 3 players when it hadn't been finished at all on MARP before, etc. Good job everyone.
I will post some more about my thoughts regarding the tournament and future tournaments in the "Knockout - future tournaments" thread later.
And of course, the full official rankings (note that in bracket rounds, when multiple players were eliminated, the higher place was given for higher score in that round):
