Spoilers for Tuesday 3rd December 2019
Congrats to Jamie on a well-fought and well-deserved octotchamp status. Feel for Corrina who has been eliminated due to there being 9 Octochamps! Series definitely has perked up towards the end.

Nine octochamps for the first time ever! Assuming the top 8 can all make the quarter finals, it will be the first time an octochamp has been booted!

The wiki says "octochaps", so I can see Corrina's problem.

Re: Spoilers for 3rd December 2019
Very impressive champion; I'm puzzled though. The wiki has him listed as an apterite, presumably a very highly ranked one. Normally that means there's a number of fellow-apterites on these spoiler threads commenting on games and offering support, especially if it's a young player. Yet it's seemed very quiet the last 2 weeks.
If there are not 8 octochamps in the next series I wonder if they would allow Corina into those finals - she is, after all, unbeaten. I assume they won't have had time to schedule a one-off 9th v 8th game before starting the QFs, even if they wanted to do that. Sure, under the rules they don't have to do anything - she can just go down in history as a player who's never lost. Perhaps she'd prefer that! Seems a shame though if she doesn't get another shot somehow.

I think Jamie kept it low key - he uses a different name on apterous, and hadn't told people he was filming. It was only really known by people who happened to be at the studio at the same time.Keith Bennett wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 10:43 am Very impressive champion; I'm puzzled though.
