The matchup was decided through the numbers, and some of the matchups came as real surprises, especially the last pair.
Ron was paired with the Rank Sixteenth team, which made it almost inevitable that he was going to qualify. Since only three teams could enter the next stage of selection, one spot appeared to be reserved by Ron's team.
Raayi's team was paired with the fourth-ranked team, which made her battle slightly harder than the other two teams. Despite that, it was also all but confirmed that she was going ahead if even one of her two team Members could win their battle.
That left only one team's spot in the finals, and that's where things became slightly complicated since the Third Seed Matchup came as a complete surprise to everyone.
Flame Lord Mander was paired with one of the dark horses of the tournament. His team was paired with the team of Lucifer!
