<p>Notable facts about the Top 8:</p>



<ul><li><em><strong>kolok</strong></em>, <strong><em>Tunaslap</em></strong>, and <strong><em>Cbusripper</em></strong> each made the Top 8 at the previous Online Legends tournament in June, with <strong><em>kolok</em></strong> winning that previous event.  Impressive!  But leave some of those alt-art Scouts and Vipers for the rest of us!</li><li><em><strong>Cbusripper</strong></em><strong><em>&#8216;s</em></strong> and <strong><em>Dusto&#8217;s</em></strong> two losses each came at the hands of fellow Top 8&#8217;ers:  <strong><em>Ominous</em></strong> and <strong><em>kolok</em></strong> in the case of <strong><em>Cbusripper</em></strong>, and <strong><em>Ominous</em></strong> and <strong><em>djnovadmv</em></strong> in the case of <strong><em>Dusto</em></strong>.  </li><li>The Top 8 included two players that are already Star Realms Legends: <strong><em>kolok</em></strong> and <strong><em>Dusto</em></strong>. Ironically, they faced off in Round 1 of the Finals.</li></ul>



<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><strong>In the Top 8</strong></em></span>, the #1 seed &#8211; <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><strong>Ominous</strong></em></span> &#8211; would emerge victorious!</h2>



<p>Below are the results of that final stage.&nbsp; The Top 8 played in a best-of-3, single elimination tournament.</p>

<p>After going undefeated in Stage 1, Ominous continued that domination in Stage 2.</p>



<h2>Congrats to <span style="color:#800000;"><em><strong>Ominous</strong></em></span>, the newest Legend!</h2>



<p>We look forward to seeing his likeness on a future card!</p>



<p>Stay tuned for a future podcast episode, where we hope to talk with Ominous.</p>
