    So it's all over and I've crunched the numbers. Here is the top 16:

    1: A1 burnout1985 (Victor) = 15 match points (owmp=62.67)
    2: TJ Streetsahead (Elementalis) = 12 match points (owmp=72.00)
    3: RS PhillipW (Serena) = 12 match points (owmp=60.00)
    4: A1 Fordfff (Baduruu) = 12 match points (owmp=54.67)
    5: A1 Finneri (Praxix) = 12 match points (owmp=54.67)
    6: TJ Pasdev (Moonstalker) = 12 match points (owmp=46.67)
    7: 17 Ecl1pse (Baduruu) = 9 match points (owmp=62.67)
    8: A1 Beantalk (Zaladar) = 9 match points (owmp=60.00)


    9: Dvsklown (Praxix) = 9 match points (owmp=58.67)
    10: BP Maxi1230 (Gwen) = 9 match points (owmp=54.67)
    11: A1 H1TACH1 (Banebow) = 9 match points (owmp=54.67)
    12: ryan318 (Aramia) = 9 match points (owmp=53.33)
    13: BP Shadow Mann (Garth) = 9 match points (owmp=50.67)
    14: TJ Segalion (Baduruu) = 9 match points (owmp=46.67)
    15: TJ Tdnine (Threbin) = 9 match points (owmp=45.33)
    16: A1 Fakekiki (Majiya) = 9 match points (owmp=42.67)

    I'll put together tomorrow's bracket now, assuming all top 8 show up for Day 2. If there's someone missing, then 9th place takes a spot.

    Here's our full stream from Day 1:



    Huge thanks to A1 Kip Thorp, Blinded Eternity and BP Ross for doing most of the commentary while I was doing TO duties. (Their volume was a bit low for the first 12 minutes, but we eventually sorted it.)
