Hopefully when the videos of East Coast Throwdown 2 are posted, I'll be able to chart specifically what happened in the Top 16. The matches I saw, before I had to head out for a tourney in Echo Park, were very exciting.

As for the Top 3, these guys' journey went from tough to really tough. That was especially the case for Flash Metroid, who had the weakest strength of schedule among the top three in the preliminaries, but then had a tough gauntlet to cap off his second-place finish.

The top three placers' strength of schedule:

• Justin Wong: .680
• Flash Metroid: .745
• Inthul: .717

Inthul played 13 matches (correction: 12 matches), and only twice -- his first two matches -- he faced someone who didn't eventually win two matches. His first two opponents went a combined 1-4. As for his opponents' final 11 matches: 55-18.

Here's their strength of schedule prior to the Sunday final:

• Justin Wong: .629
• Flash Metroid: .556
• Inthul: .642

Flash Metroid's had the rough run on Sunday; his strength of schedule increased because he faced Justin and Inthul at the end of the tournament.

I'll try to have more strength of schedule notes later in the week. If you want to mess around, go to the Tonamento page.
