Common with Other Champions[]
Bill MacDonald[]
- Both of the new champions who beat me made it to ToC (Vik Vaz).
- Both overwhelmingly beat the 19-game winning streak champion. Ryan in the Quarterfinal and Bill in the Semifinal (David Madden).
- All opponents who beat me have advanced to the finals. The difference is that Bill played the opponent who beat him in the finals, and Ryan won the match.
Evaluation[]
In the first two rounds, he didn't give a single wrong answer throughout, and showed a strong side to DD, so many people predicted that he would become a Superchampion following James Holzhauer, but many people regret that he quickly retreated after meeting a Sam Kavanaugh.
Later, in ToC, he caused a surprise by winning Jason, who had won 19 consecutive wins, with a lock game. Some people say that if he had followed DD's luck, he would have gotten better results.
