In the upper round of 6 at Insomnia55, froyotech won close games against Reason to take the series 2-0 (3-0 Product, 3-2 Gullywash), and nerdRage.tf2 came out strongly against The Last Resort to win their series 2-0 (6-1 Gullywash, 4-2 Sunshine).

froyotech was matched up against Reason to start the day. Both teams were expected to be the top seed of their region coming into the tournament, but Reason failed to deliver, losing 5-0 to froyotech and ultimately coming second-to-last in the group. However, they showed some life by beating Ascent to book their place here. The first map of the series was Product, which froyotech managed to take in three close rounds.

The next map was Gullywash. froyotech got off to a hot start by rolling the first round, and managed to take the second round as well after some time to get up to a 2-0 lead. Reason manages to roll the next round to get their first, but froyotech take another round to maintain their lead. Reason then roll the next round to come within one and keep their hopes alive by rebuffing a froyotech push on last, but they are unable to advance any further and time runs out, giving froyotech the close victory 3-2 and advancing them to the upper finals.

On the other side of the bracket, nerdRage.tf2 was matched up against The Last Resort. Both teams came out strong in the group stages, coming to a 2-2 tie. The first map of the series was on Gullywash, where nerdRage came out to a roaring start by rolling the first two rounds. The Last Resort struck back by winning the next mid, but were unable to convert and allowed nerdRage to take another round for a 3-0 lead. The Last Resort finally manages to score their first round in the next round, but nerdRage takes the next three relatively easily to take the map at a score of 6-1.

The next map of the series was Sunshine. nerdRage continued their momentum from the last map by rolling the first round, but The Last Resort responded by rolling the next to keep the score tied. The next round proved to be more of a struggle but also went the way of The Last Resort to give them their first slim lead at 2-1. However, nerdRage were not to be denied and took the next two rounds to reestablish their lead. The sixth round was crucial for The Last Resort to get back into the game, but they were unable to take it, giving nerdRage a 4-2 lead with six minutes left. The Last Resort captured the next mid to keep their hopes alive, but they were unable to get a round quickly, and time ran out to preserve the score and nerdRage's victory to push them into the upper finals.

froyotech and nerdRage.tf2 will meet in the upper finals to determine the first grand finalist. The loser of that game have a second chance in the lower finals to get into the grand finals. Meanwhile, The Last Resort and Reason will drop to the lower bracket, where they will play to keep themselves in the tournament and hopefully make the lower final.

Still pretty stoked for this game, although Flippy probably sniping makes me worried about nR's flank being exposed.

I guess you didn't watch the game because product went to the last 10 seconds for both teams in all rounds and gullywash ended with a round deficit and was very close through the entire game

I'll give you viaduct, but on gullywash the score didn't reflect how dominant Froyo looked.

The gully was close, everything else wasn't. Process 5-0 (group stages), Viaduct (3-0). Looking forward to watching this match hope it starts close to on time...

The viaduct score doesn't do it justice, very close on the time each round, could have gone either way.
