Full results will be added in a couple hours. In the meantime, check the bracket for vote counts!

It's worth noting that the two potential tiebreaks I considered for Feux Follets vs. Petrushka (removing my vote or picking whichever piece more Pianostreet/Challonge users voted for) both produce the same result of Feux Follets advancing. (I voted for Petrushka, so removing my vote would give FF the win; members voted 7-5 in favor of Feux Follets).
I also really wish I hadn't had to delay either of the two previous matchups because this is probably the single worst day for there to have been a tie in any matchup lol.

This thread also doubles as the official discussion thread for these two matches and the results of the previous four.
Voting closes at 5:00 PM on April 4th, 2025 (US Eastern time).
