## Among Us Invitational 2021

#### Upper Bracket Round 1

The entire tournament started where it ended, with Miindy vs Wes (Due to the finals not being played). Wes was easily able to beat Miindy down into the lower bracket as she was a woman. It was followed up by Candy easily sweeping Centuriad down to the lower bracket. The round was full of one sided fights as Meziic and Bashar easily crushed Curry and Plazma. The closest game was 9-3 as none of the victors made it even close.

#### Upper Bracket Round 2

The winners of the first round then had to face off against the players lucky enough to be put into the second round of the upper bracket. At first the round one winners continued to push forward with Candy and Wes taking Grim and Reva down in each of their games. Followed by one of the biggest upsets in the tournament, Philip defeating Meziic. Not a single person expected the match to go in the favor of Philip but he was able to make it happen. Teddy finished the round winning it over Bashar.

#### Lower Bracket Round 1

Round one of the lower bracket saw all the players in the first round that lost get knocked out besides Miindy. Centuriad, Curry and Plazma all being knocked out along side with Bashar. While most were completely one sided games. Curry vs Reva was anything but as they went into overtime however once entering overtime, Reva ran away with the lead winning 12-8 over Curry.

#### Lower Bracket Round 2

The last two games for the day as it saw unexpected match up with Miindy vs Meziic and a back and forth between Reva and Grim. The ladder happen first. The game never saw anyone get ahead of the other by much until the final moments. The game went into double overtime, seeing Reva winning four out of the five final rounds winning the game and moving onto the top six. The siblings battle for making it into the top six was anything but expected. While Miindy went up against Wes and expected to lose, Meziic lost out to Philip and his path here was odd to most. Most though the match up between these two would come much later but the game did meet the hype most were expecting. Not going into overtime like the previous match, the two giants fought a back and forth. Miindy was able to take down her older brother in a 9-6 score line moving her on. Her hopes to defend her title still alive.

#### Upper Bracket Round 3

With the favorite to win it all still in the upper bracket, Wes continued to get work done winning over Candy with a closer score line than the previous two games he had played. On the other side Philip continued to make waves winning over Teddy 9-6. Even though it wasn't a very eventful round, it set up what was to be the most unexpected victory in the whole tournament.

#### Lower Bracket Round 3

With Candy and Teddy both being knocked down to the lower bracket, both looked to get back on their feet and continue on to make top four. However both would be taken down in 9-4 score lines against Miindy and Reva.

#### Upper and Lower Bracket Round 4

Both match ups were amazing for two different reasons. David vs Goliath in the match up between Wes and Philip. And Teacher vs Student with Miindy vs Reva. First was the lower bracket match up which as most thought went the way of the teacher as Miindy won 9-5 in a pretty effortless match. But while the lower bracket failed to deliver, the upper bracket would give in spades. Wes to make sure he could take down Philip became two. But as Wes split himself into two people. This made his mind free to toy with as Philip used the power of bribing to win his match in double overtime with promises of a runic. This second upset was of legend. Getting Philip into the grand finals.

#### Lower Bracket Finals

Wes, while still split in two, matched up against Miindy. A rematch but different from the start. But once again Miindy was unable to conquer her demon. Losing before getting a chance in overtime as her attempts to bribe failed as Philip already had used that route with the two Weses.

## GRAND FINALS

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, they never happened. Due to problems with getting a time for both players and Philip claiming he won already. The finals never happened.
