A chance to shine for those who faced the Mid-season Cut gave way to impeccable showings with near-perfection, buzzer-beating dramatics, and big upsets. Excellent showings from Deivid Silva and Jacob Willcox ignited their redemptions runs while former CT Rookie of the Year Nat Young delivered near-perfection. Defending event victor Samuel Pupo's last-second heroics took him to a momentum-building win while the likes of Charly Quivront, Josh Burke, Oscar Berry and more furthered opening day success into the Round of 32.
