What's your point? They played the games. The winners won, the losers lost.

A true champion would have risen to the top, regardless of competition.

You are too hung up on the "big names" and slightly higher ratings and forget
that these guys are ALL championship caliber players.

Who cares who wins?

Whomever does had to go through 6 or 7 Rounds of tough competition.
