Rocket Raccoon outguns Jeff the Land Shark

The showdown between 6× Rocket Raccoons and 6× Jeffs showcased the contrast between Jeff’s ranged play and Rocket’s burst power. While Jeff had solid map control and some defensive capabilities, Rocket’s superior damage output and utility through his BRB respawn system proved overwhelming.

The Jeffs started strong, taking early kills and trading zones, but Rocket’s group coordination and respawn advantage gave them a sharp edge. Eventually, Rocket’s team snowballed control and eliminated Jeff’s squad with sustained pressure and better role flexibility.

Result: Rocket wins, Jeff falls to the losers bracket.

Ultron vs Mantis ends in robotic dominance

Mantis entered the tournament with healing and support buffs, but that wasn’t enough to stand up to Ultron’s mechanical army. Ultron’s raw damage and synergy made quick work of the nature powered team. Mantis could keep teammates alive, but not long enough to counter the pressure and focused fire from Ultron’s squad.

Result: Ultron takes the win. Mantis is sent packing.

Cloak & Dagger overwhelm Luna Snow

Cloak & Dagger’s matchup with Luna Snow revealed just how versatile they are. Cloak brought zoning and damage denial, while Dagger applied healing and burst fire. Luna Snow, though capable of sustained healing, lacked the tools to secure kills or control space effectively.

Even with stacked ultimates, Luna’s squad couldn’t keep up. Cloak & Dagger cycled healing and invulnerability, pinning Luna’s team out of position and keeping their own squad in top shape.

Result: Cloak & Dagger move forward with ease.

Invisible Woman shows potential but falls short

Invisible Woman came in with buffs and solid healing tools, but she couldn’t hold her own when matched with coordinated threats like Adam Warlock and Rocket. Despite smart shields and zone sustain, her lack of offensive push made her easy to isolate and eliminate.

Result: Eliminated early. Not enough pressure output.

Jeff rallies in losers bracket but can’t best Rocket

Jeff the Land Shark became a fan favorite with his underdog run, eliminating Invisible Woman and Luna Snow with aggressive crowd control and surprising durability. However, he eventually met Rocket Raccoon again in the rematch, where the same issue reappeared Jeff simply couldn’t outdamage or outpace Rocket’s team respawn pressure.

Result: Rocket eliminates Jeff again, solidifying his spot near the top.

Cloak & Dagger vs Ultron: Grand final rematch

The climax of the tournament brought Cloak & Dagger back up against Ultron in a winner takes all rematch. Ultron had looked invincible in earlier rounds with overwhelming damage and cooldown reduction setups. But when facing the layered zoning, healing, and invulnerability loops from Cloak & Dagger, even the machines faltered.

Smart cycling of abilities and clutch ults kept Cloak & Dagger in control, and Ultron’s usual burst power couldn’t break through. Zone control, focused support fire, and relentless sustain made Cloak & Dagger nearly impossible to dethrone.
