In the earlier matches, the Elephant Armor Team had failed to defeat the Thunder Team and missed out on the last qualifying spot in the preliminaries.
Before the tournament, most factions had predicted that the Elephant Armor Team would very likely advance. Now that the Shrek Team had taken their spot and qualified, they were deeply displeased.
