The winners of each block advance to the Finals. Block A standings take the Hayato injury withdrawal after today into account. Anyone can still win but it’s interesting because, if MUSASHI & Tachibana finish tied, their match was a draw so there may have to be a rematch. Block B is Aoki’s to lose, he still has Mochizuki & Omori.
The next event was to have been tomorrow at Grand Messe Kumamoto in Kumamoto, but that event was CANCELLED due to the venue being used for disaster relief efforts following the major earthquake a few weeks ago. Therefore, the next event will now be Sunday at Locally Produced Kurume (?) in Fukuoka. There will be no live broadcast. On demand shortly after the event (scheduled for 2 AM PT/5 AM ET).
