Hence one contestant would need to win 7 matches to become the champions of their respective groups.

There were a total of 250 countries participating in this event , hence there were a total of 500 participants in this event , 2 from each country.

Because of this , not all participants would need to fight in the round of 128 , as some would get a ( by ) in the match , and as a rule of the thumb , no two contenders of the same country would be in the same block.

Hence for example one player from Japan was in block A , then the other one would be in block B , this would ensure fair and healthy competition.

At number two was Parallax , at level 82 , he was a fan favourite to win the event , his skills when displayed on the big screen were flashy and neat , hence his performance actually entranced more people than Rudra's in the beat the clock challenge , which was plain and effective.
