WTF Chief? Master Chief looked like his old chokey self yesterday, while Kain appeared more competitive than we ever thought a SNES FF character would be, although sadly not quite strong enough to advance.

Despite the market rebound today, team Forclusion strikes again with the top score. This is Z1mZum and MartinFF7's third top 5 of the contest. Team Klonoa Alliance, no stranger to the team top 5 (28 appearances lifetime), takes second. Yonex gets a solo team top 5 for team Citizens of Delusion thanks to his top pick, even without Evil Overlord showing up, and supdawg does the same in 5th without his partner Darkash. Team Elderly Excellence falls in between those two with their 5th top 5 of the contest.
