Shredder is also possible, but nothing else would ever win, or atleast very unlikely. You can't call this any kind of championship without the Tigers, Fritz and Junior atleast. What's the whole thing worth when people will be saying later on that Hiarcs (or Shredder) is better than Fritz, Junior, GT and CT, because it won the tournament?
