Francesco Akira(6) defeated Yoshinobu Kanemaru(4)
Taiji Ishimori(10) defeated Clark Connors(6)
Titán(4) defeated BUSHI(6)
Ryusuke Taguchi(4) defeated YOH(6)

El Phantasmo(10) defeated T.J.P.(6)
Robbie Eagles(8) defeated El Lindaman(8)
Hiromu Takahashi(8) defeated Alex Zayne(8)
El Desperado(10) defeated DOUKI(6)
Eliminations:
-Kanemaru can reach a maximum score of 8 points; this is not enough to catch up with Austin & Ishimori's score of 10. He is therefore eliminated. -Yoh & Connors can both reach a maximum score of 10 points; this is enough to tie for first place, but there is no scenario where either of them would have the best record. They are also both eliminated. -Wato can reach a maximum score of 8 points; this is not enough to catch up with Desperado & Phantasmo's score of 10. He is therefore eliminated. -Bushi, Douki & TJP can all reach a maximum score of 10 points; this is enough to tie Desperado & Phantasmo's current score, but will not be enough to keep pace with them after their match on Day 12 (where one or the other will reach 12 points, or both will reach 11). All three are thus eliminated.
A Block Win Conditions:
1. Austin can advance to the final by winning both of his two remaining matches.
2. Ishimori can advance if he wins his two remaining matches and Austin fails to win at least one of his.
3. Hiromu can advance if he wins his two remaining matches and; -Austin loses or draws enough times to miss out on at least two points -Sho fails to win at least one more match.
4. Sho can advance if he wins his two remaining matches and; -Ishimori loses or draws enough times to miss out on at least three points -Austin loses or draws enough times to miss out on at least two points -Zayne fails to win at least one more match.
5. Zayne can advance if he wins his two remaining matches and; -Austin & Ishimori both lose or draw enough times to miss out on at least three points each -Hiromu fails to win at least one more match.
6. Akira may be able to advance, provided the following conditions are met:- Day 11: -Akira(8) defeats Ishimori(10) -Taguchi(6) defeats Austin(10) -Connors(8) defeats Hiromu(8) -Yoh(8) defeats Zayne(8) -Sho(10) defeats Kanemaru(4) Day 12: -Akira(10) defeats Austin(10) -Hiromu(10) defeats Ishimori(10) -Yoh(10) defeats Sho(10) -Connors(9) draws Zayne(9) This results in a six-way tie for first place, with Akira, Yoh, Hiromu, Austin, Ishimori & Sho each having ten points, but all having lost to at least one of the other five. Within this group, the best record (4-1) is held by Akira, presumably winning him the block.
