+
+The stakes are getting higher and higher as the 1st elimination phase of the tournament concludes! Tune in to see whether your favourite team made the cut!
+
+![](/wiki/Tournaments/MWC/2024_7K/img/mwc7k2024-banner.jpg)
+
+The Quarterfinals have concluded, and due to the unusual way the brackets have been set up this year, the first eliminations only took place last weekend! As the mappool keeps getting harder, we are seeing the top seeds starting to assert dominance within the brackets, and prepare themselves for a shot at the championship title. As is customary by now, let's take a look at the mappool and the full Quarterfinals results before moving to the highlight matches of last week.

+
+## Quarterfinals results
+
+Quarterfinals tend to be the transitional round between the early game and late game of a tournament. It's the phase where being able to keep up physically whilst maintaining good accuracy tends to prove a challenge. Only the teams who were able to balance both of these two aspects would be able to move into the next round!
+
+| Team A |  |  | Team B |
+| --: | :-: | :-: | :-- | :-- | :-- |
+| **China** ::{ flag=CN }:: | **6** | 5 | ::{ flag=CA }:: Canada |

+## Match highlights
+
+### ::{ flag=CN }:: China vs. ::{ flag=CA }:: Canada
+
+<div align="center" class="osu-md__paragraph">

+
+China was by far one of biggest contenders for the podium, and their #2 seed placement should be enough proof of that. Despite that, nobody was going to expect a match as frenetic as this. Canada went hammer and tongs in their match and posed quite a challenge!
+
+Canada had a stronger edge on long note picks, whereas China was able to maintain an even scoreline thanks to the rice and hybrid picks. Despite that, China was able to gain a small advantage in [Lime - 8bit Adventure](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2126941#mania/4471249) by stealing Canada's pick. And right when China reached their match point going 5–3 against the Canadians, ::{ flag=CA }:: [Dale940](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/13847951) and ::{ flag=CA }:: [UmmmMrMoo](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/15314355) were able to control their nerves and get the match back to a tie!
+
+The match ended up being decided by [Kobaryo - Radical Jinja](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2126942#mania/4471250). Despite both teams fighting fiercely for the victory, China was able to better keep up with the physically and technically demanding tiebreaker.
+
+And while China may have got the victory, the fact that Canada — the underdog of the match — was able to keep up with one of this year's favourites is a feat to be proud of!
+
+### ::{ flag=PH }:: Philippines vs. ::{ flag=JP }:: Japan
+
+<div align="center" class="osu-md__paragraph">

+
+Philippines versus Japan is probably **the** most awaited match of the Quarterfinals weekend. The Philippines, the defending champions, are hungry to continue their momentum, while Japan, a team often favoured among the crowd, wants to push for a tournament run of a lifetime.
+
+The eternal "rice vs. noodles" strategy is well in play for this match. Team Philippines opens the match with LN1, [Oceanic Museum](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2126926#mania/4471216), and cruised to their first point, with ::{ flag=PH }:: [Arona](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/8748664)'s FC on the chart. Team Japan opts with RC4, [Total Eclipse of the Sun](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2126920#mania/4471208), taking advantage of their players' accuracy. The ::{ flag=JP }:: [rainlily](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/485007) and ::{ flag=JP }:: [butanic](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/1433586) duo eclipsed their opponents with an insane team score, with butanic once again topping the chordjack leaderboards with only 37 regular 300s.
+
+The two teams continued their exchange, with no one conceding a break point on their picks. Some notable moments we'd like to highlight are:
+
+- ::{ flag=PH }:: [Ojisan-](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/11420405)'s (formerly - Kura -) clean 988k FC on LN4, [GOSEGU - Fansa](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2126931#mania/4471229)
+- Team Japan's insane run on RC1, [Aquellex - Zygorous Distribution](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2126913#mania/4471195). Both players only getting 5x200 each.
+- The entirety of HB1, [Mitsukiyo & Lee Jin Ah - Target for Love](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/2126930#mania/4471228).
+
+As if this match wasn't crazy enough, it just had to end on a tiebreaker. Japan kept it close for a good while on the chart, but the pair of ::{ flag=PH }:: [Sanni](https://osu.ppy.sh/users/3036686) and Ojisan- started to pull away when the difficulty increased. The Filipinos kept their pace and ended this thrilling match at 6–5. This also sealed a rematch of the 2023 Grand Finals against South Korea, coming right up this Sunday!
+
+---
+
+As always, we hope everyone's been liking the tournament thus far. We sure have!
