The final match will be cast this Sunday at 3:00 PM PT on the official SpyParty Twitch channel. But the lazybear that began the tournament is clearly not the one still in it, as he’s scored better margins against better players since then, most notably a 9-5 win against #3 seed sheph just this week. Turnipboy’s opponent is the #10 seed, lazybear, who joined in Week 3, did not secure a bye, and narrowly won their first round matchup with walliard, 9-7. Their last step to the finals was a 9-4 defeat of plastikqs. Our first finalist is turnipboy, the #1 seed who narrowly missed auto-promotion in the regular season, got a first round bye, and has won all of their four matches by a comfortable 9-4 margin. Our Challenger Tournament finalists are set, and they followed very different paths.

The prize is automatic promotion from the chaotic mess and mass of its unforgiving Swiss system, to Iron and possibly beyond. After ten weeks of regular season games and five more in the Challenger tournament, 368 total Challenger matches have been played, and now there’s just one left. Individual games of SpyParty are mental sprints, but for the players still playing in Challenger, SCL Season 4 has been a marathon.
