*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The Minitheus Bracket promised some nice matches. [[Altador]] facing with great rivals that take the shape of [[Darigan Citadel]] and [[Kreludor]]. The brackets do not favor [[Roo Island]], [[Lilo Blumario's]] team has a hard time making it to the top because the share a bracket for the third time in a row with Altador. When the matches really started, it was shown again that Altador was unbeatable, even for the Citadel and Kreludor. This time actually Kreludor bested Darigan Citadel, leaving them 4th while they had to settle with the 3rd place because of Roo Islands unexpected amount of strenght. Haunted Woods and Brightvale were as expected unable to lift on the level of the top and finished 5th and 6th.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
And last but not least the Vaeolus Bracket. Where [[Tyrannia]] resembles Altador, [[Krawk Island]] is their Roo Island. The pirates joined Tyrannia's bracket for the third time in a row. This doesn't increase their chances of winning the bracket but becoming 2nd seems very likely. [[Lost Deser]] is the other participant, Lost Desert has had a hard time living up to their average scores. [[Mystery Island]], on the way to their worst ranking ever. And finally team [[Faerieland]] and [[Moltara]], the actual worst teams ever.

After some tough matches Tyrannia proved to be a master of their bracket, the only one to be able to stop them seems Altador, but they be sweeping everyone else. The Krawks end up 2nd just before Lost Desert who seems to recover a bit. Mystery Island makes sure that they won't be the worst team of this year becoming 4th and Faerieland finishes once again 5th before Moltara.

===Round Four===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
Round Four kicks of with the Alabriss Bracket with this years outsiders, but no real contestants for the Cup. Namely [[Maraqua]], [[Kreludor]] and [[Darigan Citadel]]. But also some bottomfloaters like [[Faerieland]] and [[Moltara]]. And finally the middle-classed [[Terror Mountain]]. The matches started and Terror Mountain sweeped Faerieland, just like Darigan Citadel who swept Moltara. Kreludor surprisingly almost swept Maraqua. The next day Terror Mountain proved to be the diesel of the tournament, completely taking out Darigan Citadel. While Kreludor swept Moltara and Maraqua covered a sweep against Faerieland.In an exciting showdown between Kreludor and Darigan Citadel, Kreludor was able to convincingly sweep the Citadel. In the mean time Terror Mountain strengthend their claim on the first place in the match with Maraqua, whilst Faerieland beated Moltara. The next day Terror Mountain continued it's late and futile strike for the top winning in Yooyuball and Slushie slinger against Kreludor, while the Citadel and Maraqua sweeped their opponents. As soon as the sky was cleared Terror Mountain was shown to be the clear winner while Kreludor had to settle with the second place, Darigan Citadel with the 3rd. Maraqua, Faerieland and Moltara respectively 4, 5 and 6th.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The Minitheus Bracket is a mix of this years lower-tier teams. Teams like [[Mystery Island]], [[Brightvale]], [[Virtupets]], the unlucky [[Lost Desert]], [[Shenkuu]] and the spooky but tenacious [[Haunted Woods]]. In the upcoming matches Haunted Woods proved fruitful but there weren't very much sweeps at all. Therefor the outcome of this bracket was more exciting then any other, the results were very close but in the end Haunted Woods was just a little better than everyone else taking victory in this bracket. Closely followed by Brightvale, who was also sweepless. Lost Desert dissapointed once again, proving to have a really tough year, they lost to Shenkuu and thus had to be happy with the 4th place while Shenkuu took the 3rd. Virtupets claimed Yooyuball and Make Some Noise from Mystery Island and making it 5th by an inch, so Mystery Island once again last of the bracket, an unfortunate fall after last years 2nd place.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The absolute top bracket of Round Four is the Vaeolus Bracket. The two title favorites [[Altador]] and [[Tyrannia]] finally shared a bracket, probably now there will be decided who will bring home the Cup. Beyond from the fight for the title there is also a fight for the third place in the Vaeolus Bracket. [[Krawk Island]] and [[Roo Island]] are both contestants for the bronze medal. Furthermore are the brackets not really kind to [[Meridell]] this round, they're facing some top teams in this bracket and can probably forget about becoming third this year. The last team is [[Kiko Lake]], which will likely become last.
On the first day of the matches Tyrannia sweeped Meridell, while Altador almost swept Kiko Lake, only Slushie Slinger was won by Kiko Lake. The match-up for the third place started right away with Krawk Island versus Roo Island, in which Roo Island showed who's boss and took a broad victory. In the next day Tyrannia was beaten down by Roo Island in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown! They will not be the first team to end with a perfect record after all. Altador sweeped Meridell and Krawk Island and Kiko Lake played surprising match in which the Krawks were only able to win Shootout Showdown. After that Roo Island was sadly sweeped again by Altador while Tyrannia swept Krawk Island. The day after that was the dicisive match for the Cup between Tyrannia and Altador. In the end Tyrannia swept Altador and so it's highly unlikely that they are not going to win this years Altador Cup. Meanwhile Roo Island nearly swept Kiko Lake just like Krawk Island nearly swept Meridell. On the last day, Krawk Island was swept by Altador, Tyrannia swept Kiko Lake and Roo Island swept Meridell. And so Tyrannia won the Vaeolus bracket, Altador became 2nd, Roo Island 3rd, Krawk Island had to settle with the 4th place, Meridell 5th and Kiko Lake last.

===Round Five===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
Eventhough the first and second place are already divided, there still an opportunity for both [[Kreludor]] and [[Krawk Island]] in the Alabriss Bracket to conquer the 3rd place this year, however that would require a victory of [[Roo Island]], and they have already shown to be stronger than their opponents. For [[Maraqua]] there is not much to win in the Alabriss Bracket other then to strengthen their position. [[Virtupets]] doesn't get to say a lot about where they will end up, in this bracket they most likely will end last and then all they can do is hope Moltara and Faerieland will do the same so Virtupets won't become last this tournament. The last team of this bracket is [[Mystery Island]], performing far below their old level. The most important matches were between Maraqua and Roo Island in which Roo Island was able to completely sweep Maraqua. Between Kreludor and Krawk Island, in that match Krawk Island nearly swept Kreludor, only Make Some Noise was won by Kreludor. On the second day of the Fith round the podium was decided. Roo Island was able to sweep Krawk Island and thus secured their 3rd place this Altador Cup. An outher worldly match was between Virtupets and Kreludor, in which Kreludor definately lost a chance to the 3rd place thanks to an impressive win from Virtupets in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. The other matches didn't change a lot to the ranks. And so Roo Island wins the Alabriss Bracket, while Krawk Island becomes second, Kreludor 3rd by an inch closely followed by Maraqua. Mystery Island then 5th and finally Virtupets as expected 6th.

*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The final Minitheus Bracket is for [[Tyrannia]] only a formality. Even if they would become last and [[Darigan Citadel]] first, then they can still count on a silver medal. But that won't be sufficient for the nearly unbeatable team. They've proven to be able to sweep all of these teams in the Minitheus Bracket, teams like the Citadel, [[Shenkuu]], [[Haunted Woods]], [[Moltara]] and [[Meridell]]. For Darigan Citadel there is a lot to win though, a top 5 position for instance. The most important matches were those between Darigan Citadel and Tyrannia, in which Tyrannia smashed Darigan Citadel to the ground, A sweep of Meridell over Darigan Citadel. And Tyrannia's impressive sweep over Meridell. In the end Tyrannia became first as anticipated, Darigan Citadel was able to become 2nd at the expense of Meridell, Meridell who started the tournament fantastic went only downwards in the rankings. Haunted Woods managed to reach the 4th place in this bracket, Shenkuu 5th again and Moltara becomes last, just like in every other bracket this year.

*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The Vaeolus Bracket was een easy dessert for [[Altador]], against teams that don't even come close to their level this year. The other teams of the Vaeolus bracket are [[Terror Mountain]], the team who moved upwards in the brackets from place 6 to 4th to 3rd to 1st in round four. [[Brightvale]], [[Lost Desert]], [[Kiko Lake]] and [[Faerieland]]. In the matches Altador clearly sought for vengeance after their lost match against Tyrania. Altador swept Kiko Lake, Brightvale, Faerieland and Lost Desert. Only Terror Mountain, this years outsider, managed to show some strong resistance. Terror Mountain won in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown, while Altador won in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. But eventhough Altador won a tight victory over Terror Mountain, their first place in the Vaeolus Bracket was easily covered. Terror Mountain made it 2nd. Brightvale, this years typical middle-class team became 3rd in this bracket, Lost Desert 4th. Kiko Lake, who started nicely this tournament ends 5th in the final bracket and Faerieland as expected becomes last.
