===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.
