*'''Alabriss Brakcet'''
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
The Alabriss Bracket was filled with some interesting teams, last years top6. With powerhouses like [[Darigan Citadel]], [[Lost Desert]] and [[Kreludor]]. Teams that missed the title last year by an inch like [[Meridell]] and [[Mystery Island]] and a team that hasn't achieved very much yet: [[Kiko Lake]]. Team Kreludor suprised in their first matches, everyone expected that Derlyn Fonnets team would suffer under the Winners Curse after becoming Champion last year, but they were able to earn a hard-foughted victory against Meridell and later against Lost Desert. Lost Desert was the team that dissapointed this round, not being able to jump along on the level of the other two powerhouses. Mystery Island was constanantly swept by the rest, while Kiko Lake suprisingly did good efforts in winning. But in the end it was Layton Vickles' Darigan Citadel that really convinced and took the 1st place in the Alabriss Bracket.

*'''Minitheus Brakcet'''
*'''Minitheus Bracket'''
The Minitheus Bracket was compilled of the Teams from last years 7th till 12th place. These were [[Krawk Island]], the old powerhouse. Middle-class teams like [[Tyrannia]], [[Maraqua]] and [[Haunted Woods]]. And lesser teams like [[Brightvale]] and [[Terror Mountain]]. The Minitheus bracket was hard to figure out who would win. Completely unexpected, Tyrannia stood up as a major powerhouse, sweeping every single team in their bracket. Leaving the first place occupied since the first match. Not so very unexpected was the second place of Krawk Island and the third of Maraqua. In a short battle, Brightvale was able to capture the 4th place at the expense of Haunted Woods, who started off badly. Finally Terror Mountain dropped to be the last of the bracket.

*'''Vaeolus Brakcet'''
*'''Vaeolus Bracket'''
The final bracket exists from teams who ended at the bottom of last years Altador Cup. These teams were [[Altador]], [[Faerieland]], [[Moltara]], [[Shenkuu]], the winner of two years ago: [[Virtupets]] and the winner of Altador Cup III: [[Roo Island]]. The expectations were sky high for Roo Island that they would recover this year from their worst ranking ever. The same counted for Shenkuu, a team that once dominated the tournament but nowadays plays very poorely. As for Altador, Moltara and Faerieland, there were no expectations. They did not perform any different last year than the years before. Virtupets always surprises. As soon as the matches started everyone was stumbled by Altadors performances, they swept every team easily and with great numbers, even Roo Island! Beyond from that everything else went completely normal. Thus Altador won the bracket, leaving Roo Island 2nd, Shenkuu became 3rd, Virtupets 4th, and Faerieland and Moltara ended the lines, respectively 5th and 6th.

===Round Three===
*'''Alabriss Bracket'''
The Alabriss Bracket is a mild one. Lacking brute strength or favorites for the title. But one of the teams in this bracket is [[Meridell]], yet again facing a relatively easy bracket and thus an easy way to score some points for the ranking. Other teams are [[Maraqua]], [[Virtupets]], [[Shenkuu]], [[Terror Mountain]] and [[Kiko Lake]]. The only real opponent for [["Wizard" Windelle]] and his squad is Maraqua. Furthermore Team Terror Mountain seems to clime in the brackets as tournament moves on, while on the other hand Kiko Lake's performances only get worse. Shenkuu and Virtupets remain consistant, but with poor results. The final results of the Alabriss Bracket can be seen below.

*'''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'''
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.
