Finals[6]

PHUM vs nive

The final round left confusion as to who actually won the tournament. One of the judges Patchwork failed to finish their judging sheet before the deadline, and the results of their judging were used three days later in an official announcement. The revision after the announcement contradicted the original draft by placing nive as the tournament winner rather than PHUM. As the results had already been announced, however, PHUM was declared the official winner, leaving nive as runner-up.[7].
