Standings

The incredible momentum continues for Team Raiden with their +106.7pts gain in their past four games. On Thusday, they had a double 2nd. On Friday, a 2nd place and a 1st place caused them to be the top performers of the day. They played every day of the second week, and got positive results in all eight games. Quite an incredible run so far these semifinals.

The EX Furinkazan take back their spot in 1st place with a +79.2 gain. It was Nagai getting two 1sts that gave the team a big lift. With their gains, they are now just over 300.0pts above the elimination line.

Rounding out the gainers are the Sega Sammy Phoenix. Two 1sts and two 4ths gave just enough because of the 1st place bonuses. They still remain in 5th place, but are now just 13.7pts from a playoff spot.

Losing a small amount is the Akasaka Drivens. On Friday, they started off a 3rd place from Taro. Sonoda reduced that drop with a positive 2nd place, then a double 2nd by Asami and Futoshi added a bit more, but not enough to make gains. The team remains in the negatives in 6th place.

The Beast X are next with their -11.0 loss. On Thursday, Nakada got a difficult 3rd place, but a 45,000 1st by Shimoishi meant they were the biggest gainers of the day. On Monday, though, a 3rd and 4th place (with just a 21,100 4th place with Tojo) made them the biggest droppers of the day. Unable to keep the EX Furinkazan at bay, the Beast X drops down to 2nd place.

Finally, we have the Konami Mahjong Fight Club. Their almost annual semifinals struggles have returned. Three 4ths and a 3rd, dropping them down with by -176.6pts. Their losses put them right on the cusp of elimination, sitting just 13.7pts above the line.

And that’s all for this fifth! We are over halfway through the semifinals! How will the last half of the semifinals go? As always, we’ll just have to wait and see!
