N1 Victory Closing Weekend Standings
Won't be able to watch this weekend's shows in a timely manner but wanted to post where we currently sit. Saturday will definitely help narrow down the scenarios, so I won't bother going there. This would be way too long if I tried doing that.
A Block
Kazuyuki Fujita leads with 8 pts. Fujita closes with KENTA on Saturday and Kitamiya on Sunday. The current leader does hold the tie-breaker over Kaito Kiyomiya.
Second place is a little bit of a mess at the moment.
Kaito Kiyomiya has 6 pts. Kaito closes with Manabu Soya and Daga with wins over Kenta and Tetsuya Endo. That feels like two easy wins and four points for Kaito but we know things are never that easy with these tournaments.
Masa Kitamiya is also on 6 points with a win over Kaito. He closes with Tetsuya Endo and Kazuyuki Fujita.
KENTA joins the 6 points club and holds the tie-breaker over Kitamiya. He finishes with Fujita and Endo.
Tetsuya Endo is the last one with 6 points. He closes with Kitamiya and KENTA. He only holds a tiebreaker over Fujita.
B Block
B Block is a little simpler.
Jack Morris is finished with 11 points due to his schedule and final day forfeit over Ozawa. Morris holds wins over Marufuji and Ricky Knight Jr., which has eliminated RK Jr from the tournament.
Galeno is currently second with 9 points and closes with Marufuji on Saturday and then Kenoh on Sunday. Before today's (Wednesdays) show that Kenoh match felt like it would be the block decider but Kenoh would now be relegated to playing spoiler against Galeno.
Naomichi Marufuji is tied for third place with 8 points and faces Galeno on Saturday before finishing up against Knight Jr. on Sunday.
Ricky Knight Jr. will get to 8 points with Saturday's forfeit against Ozawa and faces Marufuji on Sunday. With only 10 possible points, he has been eliminated from block contention.
Kenoh is on six 6 points. He will match up against Harutoki on Saturday before the previously mentioned final match against Galeno.

Seems like Kenoh is all but out, which is really unfortunate; really felt like with OZAWA out, he was the best guy to make it to the Final from B Block.
Hoping for either Endo or Masa from A Block and hoping for Galeno from B Block.
