Below are the contest standings after night 8 headlined by Jeff Cobb vs. Zack Sabre Jr. Another day with no perfect predictions, which was due to one of the biggest upsets we’ve seen thus far in the G1. With the top 2 from each block advancing there are still many people mathematically alive but with his fourth loss today, Toru Yano is eliminated (he could score a maximum of 6 points and has already lost to Zack Sabre Jr. who will not finish with less than 6 and Okada will finish with at least 8). Start planning for next year, Sublime Master Thief, and embrace the role of spoiler!
