In that thread there are some pictures which are showing the brackets at that time. Surprisingly people there basically nailed all TOP8 in day 3. It amazing that the AOE community around the whole world is guessing the identities.Cannot read the Chinese characters myself so I'll have to take your word for it. Kudos to you and memb for nailing it. Makes me wish I'd have taken a "serious" shot at guessing the players! The hidden business is a lot more fun than the usual tournament imo (I even acted surprised when viper won the tournament as usual).
To me the biggest surprise is viper actually thinking he might lose so he doesn't do his typical almost-lose into big comeback in the finals trick...Kappa /s
