Shadow's Automatic Win

Radiant (2-0) vs Shadows (0-0) - 18:00UTC

 * Originally played 1 - 1 tie.
 * skeloton_warden admitted to wallhacks and therefore disqualified their team from the Tournament, got himself banned, and Radiant automatically goes to finals.

Losers of Match 1 (?-?) vs Winners of Match 2 (2-1) - 19:40UTC

 * This match never happened, it would've been Shadows or Radiant versus Impact or Carrot Brotherhood. Since Shadows cheated and got themselves disqualified, this game wouldn't be played and Radiant and CB/IMP play the following day.

Radiant* (3-0) vs Carrot Brotherhood (2-1)

 * Radiant automatically advanced to the Finals due to Shadows cheating.

Controversy
Due to the automatic win of Shadows, many people stated that the decision was simply unfair and will affect the Tournament. Eutheran stated that it does not, however, and Shadows was randomly picked instead of being the last to submit. Shadow, as of 10:23AM EDT on August 4th, 2015, will automatically win the First Day due to this event or happening.

The Tournament page stated that if no team submits before August 4th, Shadow remains an off-day or automatically move on to the second day without any matches or challenge.

On the day of Shadows' forfeit or disqualification (August 7th, 2015), controversy came from many of the players that "MCBall is corupt" and many other hate. The hate faded away shortly after, however.

Giveaways

 * Day 1 - After the forfeit of Nope in the D-T vs NOP match, waffle hid in the hub and stated that the first person to find him wins 500 donation points (the equivalent to Commando/Magician).
 * Day 3 - Inbetween the 2nd and 3rd match of Radiant game, the first player to answer the question "What map did Radiant play the most this Tournament?". TheCandyGirl won this. However, many speculated that she typed and answered abnormally fast. No response to this event has happened.

Trivia

 * Exactly a week before the Tournament begins, there was a Free Kit Day.
 * All kits are usable (even if you haven't bought some) during this Tournament
 * This is the first Tournament in affect since the Kit Rotations began.
 * Shadows moved to the Semi-Finals without playing a single match. That one match they played, one of the players admitted to hacks and caused the team to be DQed/Disqualified.


 * Nope's forfeit is the second in a row.
 * In addition, jemdiboy (Nope owner) calls it a "curse".


 * Two teams forfeit in a row, Nope (Day 1) and Dream Team (Day 2) due to Forfeiting. Shadows went on to Semi-Finals without playing a match due to this.
 * Shadows marked the 3rd team elimination not by losing in this Tournament.
