![]() ![]() Rounding out Sunday's bracket is Kuobota "kubo" Tsutomo and Ponos Naoki "moke" Nakayama in what is sure to be an electric slate of matches in the Mandalay Bay Events Center. Joining Supernoon and SonicFox is fellow countryman, Perry "KnowKami" Vinson who put on a run of his own, taking out the likes of Beastcoast Vineeth "Apologyman" Meka and R-cade Alioune "Alioune" Camara to make it to his first top-8 at a major tournament here in 2018. He shrugged off a list to GO1 early in the day and rattled off three straight wins, including a tense battle against Takashi "ACQUA" Akiyama, before being overcome with emotion upon in his third win to advance. After coming in 17th at Combo Breaker and just short at CEO with a ninth-place finish, Supernoon finally cracked into top-8 with an impressive losers bracket run on Saturday. The highlight of the losers bracket by far was NRG Steve "Supernoon" Carbajal finally seeing his months of hard work pay off at the perfect time. Meanwhile, GGP Ryota "Kazunoko" Inoue rode a wave of momentum while slaying some of America's finest to crack into Sunday's bracket. After winning a tight 2-1 set against Team SoloMid William "Leffen" Hjelte in the opening round of the semifinals, he barely broke a sweat in his next two matches and will have his work cut out on Sunday when he takes on SonicFox in the opening round. GO1's fellow Cyclops teammate Sho "Fenritti" Shoji had an easy time qualifying for Sunday. Joining those two are a host of other Japanese players, as the region continues to flex on the competition with regularity. The question now becomes whether they will once again be destined for a showdown in the winners final on Sunday afternoon. Neither faced much hardship while barely dropping any games in what has become the standard for these two juggernauts. ![]() Both Echo Fox Dominique "SonicFox" McLean and Cyclops Goichi "GO1" Kishida coasted their way into to the top-8 after a fairly breezy Saturday. You never quite know who might come out on top during any given tournament, but you can almost always expect two players to make it into the winners' side of the top-8 and Evo 2018 was no different.

For the majority of those 16 players, nothing at all came easy as they had to inch through some of the closet matches we've ever seen all throughout Saturday's brackets.
