They were nearing the end of the sponsored entrants already and pitting them against the top seeds was already equivalent to praying for a miracle in most cases. As the twenty-fourth and last sponsored entrant drew his number, the crowd was already calm and collected. To them, the remaining fights wouldn't be much of a show.
