Fire Fox Fridays #96 brought a ton of fun to the table this week. From shocking upsets to crazy runs, we are breaking down the highlights of the event from this week.
In pools, there were not a huge number of upsets in winners bracket. Of those that did occur, the notable ones consist of ScoobyDrew (26th seed) beating SimplyTurtles (7th seed) 2-1, Tekuito (22 seed) beating PlayerName (11 seed) 2-1, and Player 2 (25th seed) defeating Aggz (8th seed) 2-0.
After being upset in winners side, SimplyTurtles would go on an incredible losers bracket run. He would win 5 sets in a row, taking down Mr. Grizz, Tekuito, and Yungiloj01 on his way to a top 8 finish. His run would bow out at 7th place after losing a close 5 game set against Peridot, 2-3. Along with SimplyTurtles' impressive losers run, Kirbstari would also pave way through losers top 16. Kirbstari would defeat players such as Aggz, Shai, and Atomizer in order to find a 4th place finish after losing to Jinx, 2-3 in losers semi-finals.
