Working our way up from the very bottom, in the consolation bracket, Team Altador was able to avoid last place, unlike Team Moltara. Though Moltara started off with an early lead against their opponents in the first two days of their finals (as the bottom two teams face off against each other for 4 days and do not switch opponents), Team Altador was able to fight back and prevail when they needed to the most.On to the 4th tier! Faerieland was able to win against Kiko Lake to take 15th place, the same place they got last year. This meant that the Kikos settled snugly into 16th. Lost Desert faced off against Mystery Island and won, allowing them to take 13th place. Despite a very rocky beginning for the previous champs, dropping them below 15th place, they were able to make a small comeback and prevail as the champions of Bracket 4.
Team Brightvale was not able to pull a win against Team Haunted Woods and fell a place below where they began at the beginning of the finals. Haunted Woods laid claim to 11th place after their victory. Shenkuu and Roo Island squared off with the Jesters rising victoriously into 9th place and top of the tier, and Shenkuu just below - at 10th place.
Terror Mountain had a great beginning to the cup but slowly fell during the second round robin. Fortunately, they were able to stay in the second tier. However, despite their valiant efforts, they could not beat Darigan Citadel to claim 7th place and remained at 8th. Tyrannia may have fallen to the Knights, but they still finished higher than they ever have before at a commendable 6th place. Meridell claimed 5th place (Someone had to do it even if Maraqua wasn't going to! ;D) after being kicked out of the first tier by a slim margin.Ah, finally! The top tier, the tier that the winner of the sixth annual Altador Cup resides in! Team Maraqua was finally able to make it into the top tier this year but they were still unable to win against Kreludor and in turn, lay their hands on a trophy. They finished in fourth place, and Kreludor finished in third. Will next year finally be Maraqua's?
The championship round! Previous winners, Krawk Island faced off against the much underrated Team Virtupets for the coveted Altador Cup. Krawk Island was not predicted to be a huge force, but they sure proved everyone wrong and nearly became the first team to win two titles. Virtupets was a team that everyone was unsure about due to their small size, which they evidently worked to their advantage. The team from outer space, one that has never even seen first tier before, was able to win this year's Altador Cup! Huge kudos and congrats to Team Virtupets, they definitely earned it, pulling off impressive victories against each and every team all throughout the Cup! They were also the only team to not have a single loss in one game - Make Some Noise, so that is quite an achievement as well! May the Winners' Curse befall them next year! I mean... may the curse avoid them! ;D Thanks for a great Altador Cup everyone, and thanks for sticking with JN Coverage during the Tourney. Hope to see you again next year!
In the 4th bracket, Team Lost Desert fights away the faeries to be able to face off with Team Mystery Island who were able to hold their ground against Team Kiko Lake. 
In the 2nd bracket, Team Meridell shows that they will continue to fight in the finals! They were able to hold their own against the dark horse of the cup, Team Terror Mountain. The surprising result is that of Team Tyrannia's victory of Team Darigan Citadel, who showed promise this year to be back in the top bracket once again, but sadly fell just short of it.
As a shock to many, Team Krawk Island was able to defeat the favorites to win the cup, Team Kreludor. This means that the pirates have a shot at being the first to win the gold twice. Can they do it, or will Team Virtupets snatch that chance from them? Team Maraqua wasn't able to bring down Team Virtupets, and now must fight for third against Team Kreludor. 
The main focus of yesterday's matches was around the top of the second bracket and the bottom of the first. Complete losses by Maraqua or Krawk Island might have dropped them down into the second bracket, but that wasn't on the cards. It was a full sweep for Maraqua against Roo Island, and Krawk Island almost performed as well against the Lost Desert - though team LD did manage to claw back a Slushie Slinger win.
Meanwhile the Haunted Woods had a Slushie Slinger upset from Moltara, while taking all the remaining games. Tyrannia managed to deprive Altador of a Slushie Slinger win, forcing a draw instead while taking all three remaining games.
